The Most Magical Cruise Departure Port

Fort Lauderdale is your gateway to a magical Disney Cruise Line vacation.

Convenient port city of Fort Lauderdale

Looking for convenient access to two different Disney island destinations? Consider cruising from Fort Lauderdale. This year-round Disney Cruise Line home port perfectly blends beachfront family fun with vibrant south Florida style and culture.

When you depart from Fort Lauderdale, you’ll get to experience three- to four-night itineraries on the Disney Dream or four- to five-night itineraries on one of the latest additions to Disney Cruise Line’s fleet, the Disney Destiny. Both ships journey to the Bahamas and Western Caribbean, and all it takes to get to paradise is a trip to an easily accessible port in Fort Lauderdale.

Situated in southeast Florida, halfway between West Palm Beach and Miami, Fort Lauderdale offers convenience that makes embarking on a Disney Cruise Line adventure easy and hassle-free.

Coming from out of state? Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is located just a few miles away from Disney Cruise Line’s point of port, and is in close proximity to a wide variety of hotels. Hop in a rideshare or grab a taxi, and you’ll arrive in just 10 to 15 minutes. For a next-level no-fuss experience, call on Disney Cruise Line’s friendly guest services team: They can help you book a shuttle to and from the airport and pick the perfect hotel. 

For in-state embarkers, Brightline (an intercity high-speed rail) offers quick and comfortable trips with stops in Miami, Orlando, West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale. And since the Fort Lauderdale Brightline station is located just minutes from the airport and cruise terminal, connections are fast and convenient.
