We have been the preferred company for Port Canaveral Transportation and the top choice for cruisers for over 10 years. We would love the opportunity to show you why! Although there are many companies that offer transportation to the cruise lines, we earn top ratings from our clients for our industry-leading service.
We exclusively work with you and your family in planning that special cruise transportation all at affordable prices. Our first point of contact with you will be at Orlando International Airport, where you will instantly notice the Sunshine difference. Our chauffeurs earn top ratings in our industry and are handpicked by our management – every driver is dressed in full suit attire and will greet you inside the baggage claim area – guaranteed! Start your port Canaveral transportation off the right way. Our driver will guide you to your baggage claim area and assist with your luggage then take you to your waiting vehicle.
The first thing you’ll notice about our vehicles is that they are all latest models, meticulously detailed and sanitized specifically for you! Our limousines are a fantastic choice for those wishing to add some style to their trip!
We are dedicated to providing the best in class service and you will always ride in a private car or limousine. Unlike the shared ride programs of other companies or the bus shuttles that the cruise lines offer which wait for the vehicles to fill up with many cruisers, we WAIT for you and ONLY you! We also provide transportation to Port Canaveral from the Disney area hotels and other locations throughout Central Florida. Call us at 1-877-472-5466 (Toll Free) today to speak to one of our friendly and knowledgeable reservation specialists to inquire on rates.
Our state of the art vehicles can be fully stocked with refreshments (by request and extra charges may apply) and you can play your favorite DVDs or music via the iPod adapter as you relax during your almost one hour journey (available on Escalade ESV SUVs and Limousines – not available on Town Car and Luxury Van).
We are a fully staffed and full service transportation provider. We have a dispatch department that will coordinate your Port Canaveral limousine or other vehicles of choice based on your itinerary. To book your reservation, all we need to know is your party size and vehicle choice; your flight information if arriving at Orlando International Airport on the day of your cruise; credit card information; and your flight departure time if departing Orlando on the day your cruise returns to port.
We can also work with you to schedule a quick grocery stop if you will require one on the way to your cruise line. For most accurate rates and quotes, please call 1-877-472-5466. Forward Facing, Boosters and Rear Facing car seats are available upon request.
If you are planning on flying into Orlando International Airport the day before your cruise departs, there are several options available to you and your family. You may decide to book a hotel close to the airport; take the opportunity to visit Disney or Universal and lodge on the respective properties; or simply book a hotel only miles from the docks at Port Canaveral. Whichever choice you opt for, we can provide you with transportation from any of those previously mentioned choices.
For those who have never visited Disney, we would of course recommend that you take the opportunity to do so before your cruise. Staying at one of the Disney area hotels is a must but there are many adjacent hotels at lower prices as well. We can then pick you up on the morning of your cruise and transport you and your family to Cape Canaveral stress free! Remember, we are licensed and permitted to pick up your special guests anywhere in the Central Florida area and we will be more than happy to take care of all of your cruise transfer needs.
For those wishing to start that cruise in style, please have a look at our various limousines for a more upscale feel. If your flight is due to arrive the evening before your cruise departs the next day, we recommend either booking a hotel near the airport or booking one of our vehicles to take you right to a hotel in Cape Canaveral or Cocoa Beach area. Most hotels around the Orlando International Airport offer free shuttle service and they are only minutes away.
We can then take care of the rest of your transportation needs by picking you up the next day. We will work with you to schedule your private pick up time and whisk you away to your awaiting cruise liner!
The Disney Dream is the latest cruise ship to call Port Canaveral home and we are proud to commence service to this most magical cruise liner. We are now providing transportation for cruisers from the Orlando International Airport, Disney area hotels, Universal, and private residences. As with all of our cruise transportation, we will drop and pick you up right at the ship and our drivers will have a personalized name sign to help identify your party.
The Disney Dream was christened on January 19, 2011 by Jennifer Hudson and is truly a magical cruise. The cruise liner has many features and venues that will keep your entire family entertained and adult only facilities as well! The AquaDuck, The Walt Disney Theatre, and Disney’s Believe, are but a few. For a more comprehensive list of all that is available on the Disney Dream, please visit the Disney Dream Website. For the most magical service to the Disney Cruise Line, we recommend one of our beautiful limousines for you and your family. The kids are sure to enjoy their memorable ride by relaxing and watching a Disney movie DVD in the limo (bring your favorite Disney movie DVD with you and we will play it for you!).
We have been in business for over 10 years and have served thousands of cruisers with exceptional service – from the moment you call us you’ll notice that a representative instantly answers your call (try that with your bank!) to the moment you arrive at Orlando International Airport and you’ll see our driver with your name sign, you’ll know what we mean by the Sunshine difference.
We ONLY wait for you – we are the leading private transportation provider and do not offer a shared ride program. That means you and only you will be riding in our vehicles. Various vehicles are available for both families and large groups traveling to Port Canaveral. We offer Town Cars, Escalade SUVS, Luxury Vans, Mini-buses, and limousines such as Lincoln Stretch limos, Escalade Limos and Hummer limousines for those looking to travel in style! The many choices of vehicles provide many choices to fit your budget!
We are licensed to pick up at Orlando International Airport and to drop off at Port Canaveral or in the Cocoa Beach hotel district. We will drop you off right at your cruise line: Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, Monarch of the Seas, Freedom of the Seas, Carnival Sensation, Carnival Dream, and Carnival Ecstasy along with any visiting ships as well. The driving distance is approximately 45 minutes from the Orlando Airport to the cruise docks. We will work with you to schedule your pick up time from the cruise lines that best fits your departure flights out of Orlando International Airport. Our typical pick up times are between 8 and 9am at your cruise liner.
Although the cruise lines will quote you $70 per person round trip, our private cruise transportation option from Orlando is the most luxurious and efficient way to travel and more economical than the shuttle service. If you have a party of 3 or more, you will instantly notice significant savings compared to the shuttles. The shuttle services that the cruise lines offer do not meet and greet you inside the baggage claim area at Orlando International Airport or Sanford International Airport. We do!
Our driver will have a name sign for you and your family and assist your family with your luggage and then we will take you right to your cruise line or your hotel at Cocoa Beach. The shuttle services will wait for the buses to fill up before driving to the pier. Once you are inside the shuttles you will immediately notice that their fleet is outdated and at times unclean since that shuttle has been going back and forth from Orlando to Port Canaveral several times that day.
Our fleet is newer (we change our vehicles every 2 or 3 years at most) and is meticulously maintained. The shuttle service does not offer a personalized drop off at the port. Our driver will pull up right next to the cruise ship and have the cruise line’s luggage crew take your luggage and deliver it right to your room. Our state of the art vehicles can be fully stocked with refreshments (by request and extra charges may apply) and you can play your favorite DVDs or music via the iPod adapter as you relax during your almost one hour journey (available on Escalade ESV SUVs and Limousines – not available on Town Car and Luxury Van). The shuttle service does not offer transportation to Port Canaveral after 2pm from Orlando International Airport. This does not bode well for you if your flight is delayed or arrives after that time. Our drivers can take you in approximately 50 minutes and still arrive prior to your cruise departure time. The shuttle service does not offer a personalized and customized tour package to Kennedy Space Center, Coach Beach or other great places for you to visit after your trip. The shuttle service does not offer any limo options and we have many to choose from. For the most memorable cruise transportation, we would highly recommend you have a close look at our fleet of various limousines. They are much more affordable than you think!
We are a fully staffed and full service transportation provider. We have a dispatch department which will coordinate your transportation limousine or other vehicles of choice based on your itinerary. For your reservation requirements, we will need to know your party size and vehicle choice; your flight information if arriving at Orlando International Airport on the day of your cruise; your party size; credit card information; and your flight departure time if departing Orlando on the day your cruise returns to port.
We can also work with you to schedule a quick grocery stop if you will require one on the way to your cruise line. Our chauffeur will always meet and greet you with a name sign at your airline’s baggage claim if arriving on the day of your cruise. It is important that we have your flight information so that we can monitor your flight and have the driver and vehicle ready. This type of service is not provided by the shuttle transportation providers and is one that our customers love us for!
Delays do happen when flying on the day of your cruise, and we ensure to do our part in getting you to your cruise line as seamless and quickly as possible without sacrificing safety. For families traveling with small ones, we can provide you with infant seats, car seats, and booster seats. Additional charges may apply and they must be requested at the time of booking. These are required by law for anyone under the age of 5 – however, for those booking a limousine for their transportation, car seats are not required. As a policy however, we always recommend following national safety measures and buckling up.
Disney Dream and Fantasy The Disney Dream and Fantasy are the latest ship to call Port Canaveral home. They are the largest Disney cruise lines ever built and have quickly become one of the favorite ships home-ported at port. These ships have many activities and cool features from mini-golf courses to water slides over the ocean! We can provide you with the most efficient transportation to the Disney Dream at the most affordable rates. If traveling with your family, we would recommend one of our fancy limousines. We can also pick you up from your Walt Disney World Resort hotel and take you right to the ship – we can also offer you Lincoln Town Car Sedans, Escalade ESV SUVs, 10 Passenger Vans and various other transportation options. You can call us now to book your transportation.
Carnival Dream Launched in 2009, this massive ship cannot be missed safely tucked at its dock. One of our clients’ favorite ships, this mammoth ship is actually the largest ship that Carnival has ever commissioned (based on today’s arm race to built the biggest ship in the world, we’re certain this distinction will not last long). This cruise liner departs on a Saturday to Saturday cruising schedule and is one of the most convenient ships for early disembarkation. When arranging for your return pick up time, we would recommend an earlier pick up time so that you are not left waiting on the docks. Our recommended vehicle of choice is one of our limousines to make a splash! For larger groups and family reunions, we also recommend our minibus options.
Carnival Sensation Although one of the oldest ships in the Carnival cruise line operations, this ship is often referred to as the “fun” ship by our guests. And if age has you worried, rest assured that this ship was recently updated in 2009 and can be a perfect 3 or 4 day getaway for you and your extended family and friends. This ship caters to the party goers and we always enjoy having our clients use one of our limousines. We will pick you up at the airport and take your entire party right up to the ship for a fast, reliable and worry free car service!
Royal Caribbean Freedom of the Seas If size is what you are looking for, then this ship is the one for you. Visible from miles away as we approach the view of the port in one of our vehicles, you’ll notice one ship that seems to stand out above all the rest. This ship had the distinction of being the largest to ever sail the ocean but was quickly surpassed by the Oasis class of ships also from Royal Caribbean cruise lines. Currently enjoying a Sunday to Sunday cruising schedule, many of our clients fly into Orlando International Airport on Saturday evenings and instead of opting for the shuttle service, they call us and book a private vehicle. Please note that this ship is one of the earliest to dock and you can usually enjoy an early disembarkation. You can comfortably book a departing flight before noon if cruising on Freedom of the Seas as we can get you to Orlando in 45 minutes.
Royal Caribbean Monarch of the Seas Built in 1991, this 3 and 4 night cruising ship can accommodate almost 2,800 passengers. This ship was the first in the world to be captained by a female and can be seen safely navigating the Bahamas area on its regular voyage. Refurbished a few years ago, this ship is sure to please those looking for a fun yet shorter cruise with that Royal Caribbean charm. Our limousine options are far superior to any shuttle options that can often cost more per person and take much longer to arrive and depart.
Once you have booked your cruise transportation with us, the rest and relaxation starts! We have put together some guidelines for you and your family to review in order to make your trip with us as enjoyable as possible and your travel with us a breeze!
You will receive an email confirmation with all of the details of your transportation to Canaveral: pick up dates/times, airline flight details, hotel pick up locations, etc. Our driver will meet and greet you inside the baggage claim at the airport if arriving by plane Our driver will meet and greet you with a name sign at your favorite Walt Disney World Resort or any other resort in the Orlando area and drive you right to the cruise line. Once we arrive at the docks, all of your luggage will be unloaded for you by the friendly staff and our driver will give you instructions on your return trip meet and greet and loading instructions.
Please make sure that you are waiting in the commercial pick up areas at your specific cruise line for us to pick you up – these areas are usually busy with shuttle vans, limousines, and various other easily identifiable commercial vehicles.
There is also a private vehicle pick up area but please refrain from being in those areas. If you are unsure of which area you should be waiting in please contact our office for further instructions. Once your driver has loaded you and your family into our vehicle, your relaxed drive back to Orlando will give you and your family the opportunity to recount the memorable memories you’ve made on your cruise. We will drop you off at your final destination and see you again real soon!
