Cruises from Port Canaveral the Orlando cruise port

Port Canaveral is the Orlando cruise port in everything but name — about forty-five miles east of MCO down the Beachline, and the reason a great many people search for cruises from Orlando and end up here. It is Disney Cruise Line's home water, with three ships based at its own terminals, and Royal Caribbean's proving ground for the biggest new hardware. Carnival keeps a large fleet here on short Bahamas runs, and MSC, Norwegian and Celebrity each hold a berth. Short three- and four-night sailings dominate, which is what you would expect from a port that sits an hour from the theme parks.

Across the window we track there are 1917 departures from Port Canaveral on 29 ships, operated by Carnival Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruises, Disney Cruise Line, MSC Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, and Royal Caribbean International. They run from 3 to 14 nights, heading to the Bahamas, the Western Caribbean, other routes, the Eastern Caribbean, Mexico, the Southern Caribbean, and transatlantic crossings.

The lowest lead-in fare currently on the board is $166 per person, on MSC Seashore departing Sun, Nov 8, 2026.
