Why Cocoa Beach / Port Canaveral Is So Popular

Port Canaveral offers something no other Florida cruise port can match: proximity to Kennedy Space Center. Many cruise passengers combine their Port Canaveral embarkation with a pre-cruise visit to the Space Center, Cocoa Beach, or Ron Jon Surf Shop. It's also the home port for Disney Cruise Line — making it the top choice for families. And with multiple cruise lines operating from the same port complex, there are sailings available nearly every day of the week.
