Park and cruise means a night at a hotel with parking for the length of your cruise, and in Tampa the fullest offers are at hotels on the edge of town rather than downtown. These are the 15 hotels whose own websites, as they read on October 28, 2026, offer parking while you sail or sell a cruise package. None publishes a package price, so ask the hotel or check its booking page for your dates.
The drive times in the table are ours, measured on OpenStreetMap without traffic. The port’s own garage is across the street from Terminal 3; its parking page didn’t show a daily rate when we checked.
Which Tampa hotels include parking and a ride to the port?
- Quality Inn & Suites Tampa near Fairgrounds and Casino, east of Ybor City, 12 minutes from the port: Stay Park and Cruise gives 14 days of parking and a round trip to the port. Its outdoor lot takes trucks and buses.
- Holiday Inn Express & Suites Tampa East - Ybor City, 11 minutes away: Park And Cruise gives up to 14 days of free parking, breakfast and a round trip. Without the package, the hotel charges $75 to leave one car for up to 14 days.
- Quality Inn Tampa Airport - Cruise Port, on South Dale Mabry Highway, 12 minutes away: Park & Cruise is one night, 14 days of parking, breakfast and a ride to the terminal for two, with $8 for each extra person one way. The hotel asks you to call for rates.
- The Barrymore Hotel Tampa Riverwalk, downtown, 6 minutes away: the Ship & Shore Cruise Package includes parking for up to 10 days and a shuttle to and from the port. You show your cruise boarding passes at check-in.
- Sailport Waterfront Suites, Rocky Point, 17 minutes away: Snooze & Cruise is one night, 7 nights of parking, rides from the airport and a round trip to the port. The hotel says extra nights of parking are available.
Which offers include parking but not the ride?
- Holiday Inn Express & Suites Tampa Stadium and Holiday Inn Tampa Westshore: Park Stay & Go packages with one night and up to 4 or up to 8 nights’ parking. Extra nights are $5 a day at the Stadium hotel and $8 at Westshore, and both sell the port ride separately at $10 a person.
- Tampa Airport Marriott, inside the airport terminal: a Park & Cruise offer (promo code PSF) with a night’s stay and up to 4 nights’ parking.
- Holiday Inn Express & Suites Tampa Airport, Rocky Point: hotel guests can leave the car for a cruise or a flight at $10 a day. No shuttle is listed.
- Staybridge Suites Tampa East - Brandon: Stay Park & Cruise, a night with breakfast and parking for one car while you sail.
- Hotel Haya, Ybor City: the Sail and Stay package lets you leave the car while you cruise, with a luggage tag and two drinks. It doesn’t say for how long, and no transport to the port is mentioned, though the hotel is an 18-minute walk from Terminal 6.
Hotel Flor’s Cruise and Stay package is the other way round: it includes a round trip to the port, but parking is extra.
What about Hilton’s Park, Stay & Go?
The Embassy Suites Tampa Downtown, the Embassy Suites Tampa Airport Westshore and the Hilton Tampa Airport Westshore list it: a one-night stay with parking for up to 7 nights and a shuttle to select airports. Hilton’s terms say some hotels may also serve nearby cruise ports and tell you to check with the hotel. None of these three says it goes to the port, so ask before you book.
Is it cheaper than the port’s garage?
We can’t say for every case. The port’s parking page doesn’t show its daily rate, only a $20 valet upgrade, and the hotels publish few package prices. The figures that are published are useful: the Holiday Inn Express Tampa East’s $75 for up to 14 days without a package, and the Holiday Inn Express Tampa Airport’s $10 a day. Check the port’s rate for your dates in its reservation system and compare.
