Port Canaveral hotels with a cruise shuttle

Nine Cape Canaveral hotels sell a ride to the terminals at $10 to $12 a person each way: $10 at the Hyatt Place, the Hilton Garden Inn and the Country Inn & Suites, and $12 at the Residence Inn and four others. The Radisson includes its shuttle with $12.95-a-day cruise parking. No hotel runs a free shuttle on its own.

Walking and driving times are OpenStreetMap routes from each hotel's address to the terminal building, without traffic. Past a 25-minute walk we give the drive instead. Shuttle, package and parking details are from each hotel's own website, read on October 28, 2026. Room rates change daily, so we don't print them: "Check prices" opens the hotel on Booking.com, which pays us a commission if you book. It doesn't change the order of this list.

Only two hotels are within walking distance of Port Canaveral, and only of the south-side terminals, so most cruise passengers who stay the night before need a ride to the ship. In Cape Canaveral the hotels have made that routine: most of them sell a seat on a shuttle for $10 to $12. These are the 19 hotels whose own websites, as they read on October 28, 2026, say they run, sell or arrange a ride to the port.

The table lists the Cape Canaveral hotels first, closest to the terminals, then two further out that include the ride in a park and cruise deal, then seven by Orlando airport. Most don’t say which terminal they stop at, so give the driver the terminal number on your cruise documents.

Is there a free shuttle to Port Canaveral?

Not on its own. Every free ride we found comes with parking or a package:

  • Radisson Resort at the Port: cruise parking at $12.95 a day plus 7% tax includes the shuttle for up to four people. Its Stay and Cruise package includes a round trip for up to two, with $10 for each extra rider, and its Park & Cruise packages a round trip for up to four, with $20 for each extra rider.
  • Cocoa Beach Suites, on North Atlantic Avenue: its Park & Cruise deal comes with in-house rides to the terminal and back, and its Snooze & Cruise package adds rides from Orlando airport, for two people.
  • Holiday Inn Express & Suites Cocoa, on the mainland by I-95: its Park and Cruise rate includes round-trip transfers for two people, 23 minutes from the south-side terminals by car.
  • Hyatt Place Cape Canaveral: a Cruise Port Shuttle Package with a one-way ride for two, $9 for each extra guest, booked by phone seven days ahead.
  • Country Inn & Suites: a Fly and Stay package with a shared ride from Orlando airport to the hotel and a one-way ride to the terminal for two.

How much do the shuttles cost?

  • Hyatt Place Cape Canaveral: $10 a person each direction. Call the hotel to book, no earlier than two weeks before the cruise.
  • Hilton Garden Inn Cape Canaveral: $10 a person each way, leaving at 9:45 and 11:15 AM.
  • Country Inn & Suites: $10 a person each way, booked and paid directly with Cocoa Beach Transfers, not the hotel.
  • SpringHill Suites: $10.80 a person each way, booked at the front desk the night before, first come, first served.
  • Residence Inn: $12 a person each way, leaving at 9:30, 11:30 and 12:30, with round trips available. The hotel says bookings are final and can’t be cancelled.
  • TownePlace Suites: $12 a person each way, booked only the night before at the front desk.
  • Homewood Suites, Hampton Inn & Suites and Home2 Suites: a third-party shuttle at $12 a person. None of the three names the operator.

At $10 to $12 each way, two people pay $20 to $24 to reach the ship, and as much again to come back.

Can I get back to the hotel after the cruise?

At most of the Cape Canaveral hotels, yes. The Hyatt Place, the Country Inn & Suites, the TownePlace Suites and the SpringHill Suites price their ride each way, and the Residence Inn offers round trips. The Hilton Garden Inn lists departures to the port only, so ask about the return. The Radisson’s packages are round trips, Cocoa Beach Suites says it will be waiting when you come back, and the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Cocoa includes a transfer back to the hotel.

What about the Orlando airport hotels?

Seven of them sell a ride to the port through Go Port, a separate company: the Hilton Garden Inn, the Hampton Inn, the DoubleTree, the Homewood Suites, the Renaissance, the Residence Inn and the Courtyard. Their pages link to Go Port’s packages, which combine the stay with the bus to the port, but show no price or schedule. The airport hotels are 45 to 51 minutes from the terminals by car. See Orlando airport hotels for a cruise.

Why isn’t my hotel on this list?

We list a shuttle only when the hotel’s own website says it goes to the port. The Holiday Inn Express & Suites Cocoa Beach advertises an “all-in-one shuttle service to Port Canaveral” on its homepage, but its directions page says there is no local area shuttle, so we haven’t counted it; ask the hotel. The Hampton Inn and Courtyard in Cocoa Beach sell cruise parking without a ride, and Hilton’s brand-wide Park, Stay & Go doesn’t promise one either.

Otherwise, the port names Cocoa Beach Express as its official ground transport concessionaire. The Port Canaveral hotels guide compares all 29 hotels we checked, and the park and cruise guide the parking.
