Port Canaveral, FL – Port Canaveral – the world’s second busiest homeport – has been named “Best Cruise Homeport” for the fifth time in the annual Cruise Hive Awards which are based on surveys of readers of the popular online publication. According to Cruise Hive, Port Canaveral more than doubled the number of votes of the second-place homeport, reaffirming the port as the top choice for cruisers.
“This award is a testament to our investments in state-of-the-art facilities, our dedication to excellence, and the exceptional service provided by our talented team,” said Capt. John Murray, Port Canaveral CEO. “We’re proud to host record-breaking numbers of passengers while welcoming some of the world’s newest and most innovative ships to Central Florida. This recognition reaffirms our commitment to offering unparalleled experiences for cruisers.”

This summer, the Port welcomed Royal Caribbean’s second Icon-class ship, the 236,000-ton Utopia of the Seas – the largest ship to operate a year-round short cruise program – with the much-anticipated Disney Treasure making a magical debut from the Port later in the fall. Royal’s third Icon-class ship, Star of the Seas, is scheduled to enter service from Port Canaveral in summer 2025.
Port Canaveral also offers a broad range of itinerary choices, from short getaways and week-long adventures to The Bahamas and eastern and western Caribbean, as well as longer length voyages to the southern Caribbean, South America and the Panama Canal.
