Port Everglades is an easy choice for cruise guests because of its proximity to exciting Caribbean destinations and direct access via highways and three international airports.
Port Everglades and major cruise lines are working together to offer more and better cruise opportunities in the coming year. Those who want to plan ahead will have some good options next year. For summer cruisers in 2024, there will go good cruise opportunities.
Next summer, the port will host five cruise ships from award-winning brands Celebrity Cruises, Disney Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, and Royal Caribbean International. The variety the lines offer will offer sold choices. New ships will include Celebrity Beyond and Enchanted Princess. One of the world’s largest ships Royal Caribbean’s Freedom of the Seas and to ships offering shorter itineraries including Celebrity Reflection and Disney Magic. Additionally, the port offers a near-daily ferry service by Baleária Caribbean to the Bahamas.
“We have been extremely successful in meeting the cruising public’s expectations by attracting ultra-high-luxury and premier brands, further developing our summer offerings, and expanding popular short cruise options,” said Jonathan Daniels, CEO and Port Director. “These new additions to our summer 2024 portfolio are a direct result of us putting the customer experience first.”
