Tampa cruise port guide
Set sail from Florida’s Gulf Coast and you’ll discover just how convenient — and action-packed — cruises out of Tampa can be. Welcome to one of Florida’s busiest ports — where the historically Cuban district of Ybor City, the aquarium, city shopping and local art museums are all in easy reach. Wide beaches and urban adventures are also at your fingertips when you book a Carnival cruise from Tampa. And come nightfall, 7th Avenue in Ybor City heats up, Latin-style.
About Tampa
Port Tampa Bay is the largest and most diversified port in Florida, located in downtown Tampa's Channel District with direct access to Tampa Bay. It is one of the most popular departure ports for western Caribbean cruises in the US, with five cruise lines homeporting here. The port has three cruise terminals and an annual passenger volume of approximately 867,000.
Nearby Channelside Drive, The Florida Aquarium, and the historic Ybor City district are the primary visitor draws. Ybor City — one of only two National Historic Landmark districts in Florida — retains 19th-century architecture from its Cuban cigar manufacturing heyday and now hosts restaurants, craft breweries, and nightlife.
