Port Canaveral

Embarkation

Port Canaveral is the Orlando cruise port, an hour east of the theme parks and the airport, on a stretch of coast that is a holiday in its own right. It is a driving port more than a flying one: most passengers arrive by car from within Florida or pair the week at sea with a week inland.
