Port Canaveral is the busiest cruise port in the world with more than 4 million passengers a year. It’s the closest port to Orlando, and it’s just under 10 minutes from Interstate 95, making it easy to access from the north and south.
Popular cruise lines such as Disney Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean International, Carnival Cruise Line, Norwegian Cruise Line, and MSC Cruises sail out of this port. On any given day, you could have up to five ships sailing out, and for that very reason, parking can get…well, congested. No need to fret!
