The JAXPORT cruise terminal on the St Johns River

JAXPORT Cruise Terminal

Cruises from Jacksonville

Jacksonville is the smallest cruise port in Florida and the one most people forget exists. A single terminal on the St Johns River handles one ship at a time: Carnival keeps a vessel here year-round on short Bahamas runs, and Norwegian brings a ship in for the winter season. Ships have to clear the Dames Point Bridge, so the same air-draft limit that shapes Tampa applies here too. For north Florida and south Georgia it is by some distance the easiest port to drive to, and the queues are nothing like Miami's.

Across the window we track there are 199 departures from JAXPORT Cruise Terminal on two ships, operated by Carnival Cruise Line and Norwegian Cruise Line. They run from 4 to 10 nights, heading to the Bahamas, transatlantic crossings, and the Eastern Caribbean.

The lowest lead-in fare currently on the board is $139 per person, on Norwegian Dawn departing Mon, Jan 11, 2027.
