Port Canaveral’s cruise terminals sit on both sides of the harbour, and the side your ship uses decides where to stay. The port calls Terminals 5, 6, 8 and 10 the A terminals, on the north side, reached from exit 54A, and Terminals 1, 2 and 3 the B terminals, on the south side, from exit 54B. Your cruise documents name your terminal, and the Port Canaveral terminals guide shows which line uses which.
The table compares the 29 hotels we checked: 16 in Cape Canaveral and at the north end of Cocoa Beach, 5 further south in Cocoa Beach and on the mainland in Cocoa that sell park and cruise, and 8 by Orlando International Airport. We only list hotels whose own website we could read, and every shuttle, package and parking detail comes from that website as it read on October 28, 2026. The times are ours, measured on OpenStreetMap to each side of the port without traffic; the routing service found no walking route to the north side from any hotel, so the table gives the drive there.
Which hotel is closest to Port Canaveral?
For the south side, the Holiday Inn Club Vacations Cape Canaveral Beach Resort, at 1000 Shorewood Drive by Jetty Park, is a 13-minute walk and a 4-minute drive. Its parking is free for registered guests during their stay, not for the length of a cruise, and it runs no shuttle. The Holiday Inn Express Cape Canaveral, on the same block at 995 Shorewood Drive, is a 16-minute walk and calls itself the closest hotel to the cruise terminal. It runs no shuttle either, but it sells cruise parking at $18 a night including tax.
For the north side, the closest are the Homewood Suites and the Residence Inn on Astronaut Boulevard, 10 minutes by car. The two Jetty Park hotels are 13 and 14 minutes from the north side, because the drive goes round the harbour.
Can you walk to the cruise terminals?
Only to the south side, and only from the two Jetty Park hotels. The Astronaut Boulevard hotels are 30 to 34 minutes from the south-side terminals on foot, across the SR 528 and A1A junction, where a route on the map doesn’t promise a sidewalk all the way. For the north side there is no walking route at all. Plan on a hotel shuttle or a car.
Do Port Canaveral hotels run a cruise shuttle?
Nineteen of the 29 run, sell or arrange a ride to the port, and in Cape Canaveral it is the norm. The Hyatt Place, the Hilton Garden Inn and the Country Inn & Suites charge $10 a person each way, the SpringHill Suites $10.80, and the Residence Inn, the TownePlace Suites, the Homewood Suites, the Hampton Inn & Suites and the Home2 Suites $12. The Radisson Resort at the Port includes its shuttle, for up to four people, with its cruise parking.
None runs a free shuttle on its own. The Holiday Inn Express & Suites Cocoa Beach advertises a cruise shuttle on its homepage while its directions page says there is no local area shuttle, so ask the hotel before you count on it. The seven Orlando airport hotels with a ride sell Go Port packages. The Port Canaveral cruise shuttle guide compares all 19.
Can I park at the hotel during the cruise?
Yes, at most Cape Canaveral hotels, and several charge less than the port. Port Canaveral’s own parking is $20 a day plus tax, counting the day you arrive and the day you leave. The Radisson charges $12.95 a day plus 7% tax and includes the shuttle for up to four people; the Homewood Suites charges $12 a night plus tax and the Hyatt Place $12 a day, with the shuttle extra at both. The Hampton Inn & Suites and the Home2 Suites, which share an address, charge $25 a night plus tax.
The Country Inn & Suites says it stops selling parking packages to new bookings from November 1, 2026, after which parking is $12 a night plus tax, reserved by phone. The Port Canaveral park and cruise guide has every rate, including the hotels that publish two different prices.
Is it better to stay near Orlando airport or the port?
Near the port if you can get there the night before. The port puts Orlando International Airport about 45 minutes west by SR 528, and the airport hotels are 45 to 51 minutes from the terminals on our routes. For the airport run from Cape Canaveral, the Radisson sends guests to Cocoa Beach Express, the port’s official ground transport concessionaire, at $28 a person one way or $50 round trip, and the SpringHill Suites quotes the same fares and phone number.
If you land late, an airport hotel with a Go Port package gets you to the ship the next morning. See Orlando airport hotels for a cruise and the Orlando airport to Port Canaveral guide.
