About the Port of Tampa

Tampa is the foremost port of Florida's west coast and one of the nation's busiest. The port's strategic location contributes to some 108,000 jobs and $13 billion each year to the local economy.

From Tampa, cruise itineraries to the Caribbean and Latin America are available. Tampa's inviting location within a dynamic downtown setting, its reputation for safety, convenience and on-shore entertainment are making it a year round cruise center.

The Garrison Seaport Center's Cruise Terminal 2 underwent a $6.5 million renovation that doubled its size. Included are a 5 lane passenger embarkation / disembarkation area, multi-deck parking garage, improved customs and baggage handling facilities and many other state of the art amenities designed with passenger comfort, security and convenience in mind.

The Florida Aquarium is just steps from the gangway; and the Gulf beaches, Busch Gardens, major sporting facilities, and the historic Ybor City entertainment district are all close by.

Cruise passengers love Tampa and its climate. The waterfront area with its immediate access to the Gulf of Mexico is an ideal port for the cruise industry.
