15+ Convenient Port Canaveral “Park & Cruise” Hotels

Port Canaveral is among the busiest cruise ports in the world, but that doesn’t make it the most convenient for cruise passengers. Port Canaveral is about 45 minutes from Orlando, the nearest major city. That means cruise passengers sailing from the port have to figure out transportation to the ship before they can set sail.

Port Canaveral sign in Florida

Because of the distance, many people elect to drive to the port. Of course, if you plan to drive, then you will have to also figure out parking. Rates for parking at Port Canaveral run at least $17 per day at the cruise terminal .

However, there is a cheaper way to park. If you plan to stay in the area the night before your cruise, many area hotels offer parking for cruise passengers . Stay a single night and they will let you park your car at a much lower rate than what it costs to park at the port. In addition, the hotel will often provide transportation to the port.

In all, the cost savings versus parking at the port can be substantial, depending on the length of your trip.

The list below is meant to give you a full picture of your hotel options in the area with park and cruise deals. If you have a hotel in mind not listed below, call and see if they offer cruise parking.

Rates are reasonable and the parking is among the least expensive you’ll find. A phone call to the hotel told us that parking rates are just $5 per night while you cruise. That’s less than a third the cost of parking at the port. 

La Quinta Inn Cocoa Beach-Port Canaveral La Quinta Inn is south of the busiest part of Cocoa Beach. That’s great for those that want to be near the action but not in the middle of it. If you select the parking package, you’ll receive a night’s stay and free parking during your cruise (up to eight days), plus transportation for two to/from the port.

If you’re driving in for your cruise and need a place to park, it offers a ‘Park, Stay and Go’ package on the website, with parking and transportation to and from the port for each guest.

It also includes wi-fi and breakfast during your stay.

Cocoa Beach Suites This hotel is a short 2-minute walk to the beach, and in the heart of Cocoa Beach.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I book parking packages at these hotels? If the hotel offers a set daily rate for parking, then you normally don’t have to do anything special. Simply book your hotel anywhere and then you will arrange parking when you arrive. If the hotel has a parking package, it’s a good idea to book through the hotel website.

Do any hotels offer free cruise parking? Not that we’ve seen. Some offer parking for just a few bucks per day while others offer up parking packages. That said, most of the hotels have parking packages that are a few dollars more than the regular booking rate. While the price is a little higher, it’s still much cheaper than parking at Port Canaveral.

How long does it take to get to the port from these hotels? One of the nice things about Port Canaveral is that it’s fairly small, so at most you are about 15 minutes from the cruise ships. Meanwhile, most hotels offer several shuttles a day making it easy to get to the port in plenty of time for your cruise.

Shuttle Service

Port canaveral shuttle service included.

What’s top of your list when you are planning to sail off on your cruise? When going on a cruise, there is a lot to plan before the embarkation date, including what to take with you and how to get to the port. But, have you thought of where you will park and how you will get from the parking facility to your cruise ship’s port? If you haven’t then that is something you should surely add to your list of things to do for cruise departure day.

One of the most popular and safest methods of getting to your cruise ship is to park in a secure facility and then take another vehicle to the port. Some parking facilities do not offer transportation and you will then have the hassle of securing a taxi service or taking public transportation to get you to the port on time. And then there is the other hassle of finding the right terminal.

However, if you choose a parking facility that includes shuttle service, this removes those hassles. You essentially kill two birds with one stone – you get parking for the duration of your cruise, and transportation to and from your cruise departure terminal.

Cape Canaveral Cocoa Beach Hotel with Shuttle and Parking

Port Canaveral Hotels near Cruise Terminal (with Shuttle & Parking)

Port Canaveral seen from cruise ship

Every year thousands of tourists travel to the Space Coast for a well-deserved holiday.

Before embarking your cruise ship, spend some time on a sun-drenched beach, visit the unique shops in Historic Cocoa Village or learn a little more about the local history in space technology at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.

When you are cruising to the Caribbean from Port Canaveral in Florida, you are spoiled for choice when it comes to Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach accommodation. As is to be expected from a destination so popular with cruise tourists, there is no shortage of hotels to choose from .

For guests traveling without a car, most Port Canaveral hotels offer a cheap transport (as low as $8) service to the cruise ship terminal.

When looking for cruise parking, several properties offer specific packages (Cruise, Park and Stay), usually with the inclusion of a free shuttle service, an overnight stay and car parking for the duration of your voyage. These are ideal choices if you plan on driving to the port.

But, we always suggest that you first choose your hotel of choice based on your needs (budget, room, amenities, breakfast included, facilities, star rating). It may be cheaper to book a room and pay separately for a shuttle.

If you decide to use the hotel offered shuttle, you might end up paying a similar, slightly lower or slightly higher shuttle fee to the hotel, than you would be booking on your own.

After making a reservation of your hotel of choice, you can always park at the port . If it works for you, you can also opt for park and cruise. Stay for the night and leave your car at the hotel while on cruise. Rates begin around $6.00 per night for parking.

The decision to stay at any of the hotel mentioned here depends on what you need. Whether you are traveling with family or a pet. If you do not mind staying further inland, you also might end up saving more as hotels near the port tend to cost a bit more. That, however, means you might end up paying more for the shuttle to the port when leaving for your cruise.

Ultimately, your choice of hotel should cater to all your needs and be within your budget. Make sure to check a few hotels and compare to get the best deal.

What to do before or after your cruise from port canaveral.

By Janet K. Keeler

The act of “blasting off” is certainly an apt way to describe the action of Florida’s Space Coast, home to the Kennedy Space Center .

But Port Canaveral Cruise Por t is also taking off. Last year, nearly 7 million cruisers boarded one of the 13 ships that set sail from Port Canaveral. A fourth terminal is being built to accommodate even more travelers.

Port Canaveral is the closest of Florida’s seven cruise ports to the Orlando theme parks, including Walt Disney World and Universal Studios. That means travelers can fly into Orlando International Airport , spend a couple days in the parks, then head over to Port Canaveral, about an hour away. In fact, Disney is banking on that and has theme-park-and-cruise packages with transportation included to shuttle vacationers to its ships homeported at Port Canaveral.

Besides the theme parks, there is a variety of things to do around Port Canaveral either before or after a cruise. A novelty for many visitors is riding bikes on the hard-packed sand of Brevard County. There are loads of places in Cocoa Beach to rent bicycles by the hour and hit the sand, among them Beach Bums , A1A Beach Rentals and Village Cycle Shoppe .

Many of the bike shops also have kayaks, paddleboards plus fishing and beach gear. And surfing? They hang 10 along the Space Coast and you might want to book a lesson which usually comes with board rental. The Cocoa Beach Surf School caters to families and kids. Sebastian Inlet State Park is the epicenter of Florida competitive surfing and finding a place to watch the surfers ride the waves is a cool thing-to-do near Port Canaveral Cruise Port if you’re not ready to go all cowabunga.

Port Canaveral is near lots of small cities that have their own flavor. You could head over to the historic downtown of Melbourne and browse the unique shops then stop into Meg O’Malley’s for some serious Irish grub. Drive south to Indialantic and visit the Sea Turtle Preservation Society . North of the cruise port is Titusville and Dixie Crossroads restaurant, a favorite local spot that serves shrimp, shrimp and more shrimp and other seafood landed at the docks just miles away.

If you don’t have a car and depending on where you are staying for your extended vacation, the Brevard bus and trolley system could get you where you want to go. Tickets cost about $1.50 per ride, less if you qualify for a reduced fare or buy a multi-ride pass.

Here are four more things to do before or after a cruise from Port Canaveral.

Kennedy Space Center - Indoor

 - Merge Studios

The Space of the Space Coast

For more than 50 years, Brevard County has been the center of America’s space program and there’s no better place to experience the history than the Kennedy Space Center Visitors Complex . The visitors complex is every bit as much of a theme park as the ones in Orlando except there’s no roller coaster—yet. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t lots of thrills. The Rocket Garden gets you up close to some of the towering vessels that explored space, including the Mercury-Atlas which launched John Glenn’s historic mission to orbit the Earth in 1962. Like the brochure says, you really do feel like you’re walking among giants, literally and figuratively. Visitors have opportunities to meet astronauts in person. There is a shuttle simulation ride that punctuates both the excitement and danger of space travel, and astronaut training simulators , too. Don’t forget that the visitor center is part of the working space center. Look at the schedule in advance and you might be able to hear a bonafide countdown and watch a launch. You can also watch launches for free almost anywhere in the county. The beaches will be lined with folks and their binoculars.

 - Lauren Tjaden

The Natural World on Display

Just north of the cruise port is the Canaveral National Seashore , the longest stretch of undeveloped Atlantic coastline. With so much development all around, the national seashore offers a respite to the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The visitors center in New Smyrna Beach provides the history of the area and more information on things-to-do. There are 24 miles of beach and since this is Florida’s East Coast, the sunrise is a big draw. The park opens at 6 a.m. so you can get there in time for the daily sun show. The beach is also a nesting ground for protected marine turtles so you’ll need to tread lightly. Two-thirds of the park is Mosquito Lagoon , a favorite place for kayakers. Nearby is the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge , a favorite spot for birders—there are 350 species in the refuge—and photographers (keep that smartphone charged!). Even without a fancy camera you can capture photos of bald eagles and egrets. Merritt’s bird population swells from November to April as migratory birds take to the Atlantic Flyway.

 - Florida Travel

The Zoo the Locals Love

The Brevard Zoo in Melbourne holds a special place in the hearts of many people who grew up on the Space Coast. They remember birthday parties, summer camps and feeding the giraffes especially. Giving nibbles to the lorikeets might come in a close second. If you’ve got young children in tow, the zoo is a wonderful spot to entertain them for at least a half a day—just remember that the giraffes take a rest on Tuesday and Thursday mornings so if you have your heart set on feeding them, plan accordingly. There are 900 animals from all around the world at the zoo, and the adventurers among you might want to kayak past the giraffes, rhinos and lemurs. The gentle train trip—it’s just 10-minutes long— past the camels might be more your wee kids’ style.

Video Thumbnail - youtube - Top Attraction  - The Wizard of Oz Museum in Cocoa Beach, Florida

 - The Wizard of Oz Museum

Oddly, the Wizard of Oz

No, you for sure aren’t in Kansas. The new Wizard of Oz Museum in Port Canaveral is just minutes south of the cruise port. Why Florida? Mostly, the operators say, because there are so many tourists in Central Florida either going to theme parks or sailing away on cruises and they figured if they build it, they will come. The museum houses historic displays and artifacts from the making of the movie, including Dorothy’s iconic blue pinafore . But what sets this museum apart is the immersive experiences. Through modern technology, mostly laser projectors, visitors feel like they're caught in that movie’s tornado, traveling through Munchkinland or even floating in the poppy field. But wait, there’s more. The museum also houses immersive experiences via the paintings of Vincent Van Gogh and a space experience using images from the James Webb telescope. Keep an eye out for the Wicked Witch everywhere. It’s open daily and tickets are $29 for adults and $15 for kids, immersive experiences included.

BREAKING NEWS

‘Potential serial killer’ arrested after bodies of 2 women found in Orange County, sheriff says

Port canaveral breaks record for most cruise passengers in a month, nearly 800,000 guests cruised in march.

James Sparvero , Reporter

PORT CANAVERAL, Fla. – More people are sailing out of Central Florida’s cruise port than ever before.

After reporting 734,000 passengers in December , the port this week again announced record-breaking numbers for March at nearly 800,000 guests.

At that record pace, the port said it could outpace last year’s record numbers by a half-million by the end of this fiscal year in October.

The 16 months between 2020 and 2021 when no passengers departed because of the COVID-19 shutdown are distant memories now.

Capt. Murray said the industry now has a lot of plans for expansion, and new ships are being ordered again.

[EXCLUSIVE: Become a News 6 Insider (it’s FREE) | PINIT! Share your photos ]

“The industry is 110% of what it was prior to the pandemic,” the port’s CEO said. “We’re fortunate to be taking advantage of that here at the port.”

It’s fortunate if you ask port commissioners, but not everyone else is so excited.

Another opinion about the port’s growth can be found in the marina district.

In February, News 6 reporter James Sparvero interviewed fisherman Jamie Glasner after learning the port won’t renew the Cape Marina’s lease to build another cruise terminal.

In a few years, the new terminal could open around the same time the Brevard Zoo’s aquarium at the port is built.

“We’re concerned with having another cruise terminal and then the aquarium going in across the street - the congestion of the traffic over here on the south side of the port, and what it’s going to do to the already existing businesses,” Glasner said. “We just want to make sure that we still have a place that we can come to work.”

Port Canaveral saw just under 800,000 cruise passengers move on and off its ships in March as part of a record year that keeps topping expectations.

That set a one-month record for the port with an average of nearly 25,600 people a day around 93 cruise ship calls. March is traditionally one of the strongest months of the year for the port with its spring break traffic.

It also marked the halfway point of the fiscal year that began in October 2023. Six months in, the port has seen 3.9 million passenger movements from 479 ship calls.

“The industry itself is very, very strong right now,” said Port CEO Capt. John Murray at the port commission meeting on Wednesday. “There’s a lot of expansion plans. The companies are starting to reorder ships again after the pandemic.”

NCL details new dining on Canaveral-bound Norwegian Aqua

That includes more ships from Norwegian Cruise Line, which has been sending its new vessels to Port Canaveral as they debut including next year’s Norwegian Aqua.

“So a lot of great things, a lot of great things, a lot of enthusiasm and I can say that the industry is 110% of what it was prior to the pandemic,” Murray said. “They are back and booming right now. So we’re fortunate to be taking advantage of that here at the port.”

Operating revenue for the year is already at $98 million, which is $3.6 million above budget. It also means the record projection of $187 million in operating revenue through the end of the fiscal year in September is likely to get surpassed as well.

Ship capacity is determined to be at 100% if each stateroom is occupied by two passengers, so ships sailing with families, for instance, will push capacity above 100% and in turn increase revenue for the port from the cruise lines as well as add to an uptick in parking charges.

Royal Caribbean to send massive Utopia of the Seas to Port Canaveral

One of the big drivers has been the addition of a second Oasis-class vessel by Royal Caribbean so that the port hosts two of the largest cruise ships in the world.

Allure of the Seas joined Wonder of the Seas last fall to begin short three- and four-night sailings to the Bahamas, and will continue that until the debut of Royal’s new Utopia of the Seas this summer. Since arriving, it has added more than 650,000 passenger movements to the port’s growing tally.

The port has been home port to 13 ships from Disney Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Norwegian and MSC Cruises, and is set to welcome its first ships from both Princess Cruises and Celebrity Cruises this fall.

Port Canaveral plots timeline to take over marina for new cruise terminal

Right now it has six cruise terminals, but is beginning the work to eventually build a seventh later this decade. During an interview earlier in April at the Seatrade Cruise Global conference in Miami Beach, Murray said the key to growth for the port will be a shift in how the port gives access to each terminal, such as how it plans to operate its seventh terminal.

“It’s going to be multiuser. It’s not going to be a single-use facility. That’s going to be how our concept of operations would be going forward,” Murray said. “The only way you’re going to get good utilization of a terminal is if you can put multiple brands in there and not have it dedicated to just one user.”

That’s how it runs several of its terminals now including Disney Cruise Line at Cruise Terminal 8 and Carnival Cruise Line at its newest terminal, Cruise Terminal 3.

“If they’ve got seven days a week at one terminal and they’re only using three, maybe four days, that’s not high utilization,” Murray said. “Yet, it’s a facility that we’ve got blocked out that we’re not getting any benefit from it for the investment we’ve made.”

He notes Cruise Terminal 10, which gets used by three brands, gets used six days a week.

Murray said with newer and bigger ships on order from all the major lines, the demand is just going to continue to spike for parking space at Florida’s big three ports.

“I think the point now for all of the major brands is finding somewhere to operate,” Murray said. “Because there’s only Miami, [and] we all know how full Miami is; Everglades, [which has] limited capacity or opportunity for growth; and we have more land, but you know, it’s not all going to get committed to the cruise industry.”

“So the question is, how do we allow more opportunities for the cruise lines to operate? This is one — get high utilization out of the terminal.”
