Cruise

Cruise guests will love Tampa Bay for its Latin-esque charm and its array of entertainment options that are only steps from the port's modern cruise terminals. 

Shopping, dining and an I-MAX cinema are among the offerings that await passengers as they disembark at Channelside Bay Plaza, Tampa's downtown entertainment hub. Vibrant Ybor City (Tampa's historic Latin Quarter, pronounced "EE-BOR"), is a short streetcar ride from the cruise terminals at Channelside, and the fascination of the underwater world awaits your amazement at The Florida Aquarium, literally steps away from the cruise terminals. 

Carnival Cruise Lines (Carnival Legend and Carnival Inspiration), Holland America (Veendam), and Royal Caribbean International (Grandeur of the Seas) offer a variety of Western Caribbean cruise itineraries, with stops at popular ports like those of Cozumel, Key West and Belize City. 

Cruise terminals provide customer-friendly information areas, superior security, full passenger amenities and on-terminal parking for just $12 per day.  Valet services are also available.  Close proximity to the interstate highway system adds to the overall convenience of cruising from Tampa.  About a 15-minute drive away, top-rated Tampa International Airport is served by all major carriers and provides daily service to more than 60 cities.
