Located on the East Coast of Florida a short hour drive from Orlando. Cruises departing from Orlando, FL, generally sail from the popular, Port Canaveral. Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Carnival, and Disney all sail from this port, as do many last minute cruises, usually to destinations in the Bahamas and the Caribbean. Port Canaveral is also home to the Kennedy Space Center, which offers several educational attractions and tours.

If you're sailing on one of these Port Canaveral cruises, there's a lot to enjoy before you depart. Port Canaveral's Jetty Park Beach is the closest beach to Orlando, and a wonderful way to spend the day. There are lifeguards on duty and you can rent kayaks, chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, and paddle boards. If you're lucky, you might see a rocket launch in the not-so-far distance.

If you're the adventurous type, book a last minute cruise from Port Canaveral and you can zipline and run obstacle courses at treetop level at one of Port Canaveral's newest attractions, Cocoa Beach Aerial Adventure. If you're on one of the cruises leaving from Port Canaveral, you're really in for a treat.
