A Warm Welcome for Cruise Guests

Port Everglades offers everything under the sun from Caribbean cruises to world voyages to fast ferry getaways -- all from the vacation paradise of Greater Fort Lauderdale.

The port’s enviable location in the heart of South Florida and the neighboring Caribbean makes it one of the three busiest cruise homeports in the world. Some 4.4 million cruise guests are expected in 2025.

Each air-conditioned cruise terminal is fully accessible and offers free Wi-Fi, snack and beverage machines, restrooms and comfortable seating. For more information, please contact 954-468-3720.

As part of the port's continuous investments in creating a warm welcome, artwork by local emerging artists and world-renowned masters such as Dale Chihuly is featured in each cruise terminal. The artwork is part of Broward County’s Public Art & Design Program.
