The heart of the Cape Canaveral area, Port Canaveral is a bustling
place where cruise ships, commercial fishermen, and charters
depart and arrive on a daily basis. Several luxury cruise lines
call the port home, traveling to destinations in the Caribbean
and Mexico. Cruises are a great vacation package, offering meals,
lodging, and a wealth of activities at one all-inclusive price.
In addition to three, four, and seven day cruises, several lines
out of Port Canaveral offer day cruises and evening gambling jaunts.
Some lines specialize in romantic couples-only trips, while
some offer great family adventures, with activities geared toward
the youngsters.
Several full-service resorts and hotels offer cruise and accommodations
packages, with side trips to nearby attractions and malls. Resorts
provide all transportation to both the cruise lines and attractions
such as Kennedy Space Center and Cocoa Beach. An
all-inclusive resort and cruise vacation might be just the ticket
for your Central Florida vacation.
Whether as a day trip or the focus of your vacation, a cruise can be a
wonderful way to enjoy a Florida vacation. Port Canaveral features
several cruise lines offering everything for romantic getaways
to family oriented trips. Several resorts and hotels offer accommodations
a short drive from the Port, along with motels and vacation rentals
on nearby Merritt Island.
