New homeport in Port Canaveral and more cruises from Tampa

For the first time ever, Celebrity Cruise Lines will set sail from Orlando’s Port Canaveral. The Celebrity Equinox will move to this new homeport in November 2024, where it will sail 20 new itineraries. Port Canaveral is located about 45 minutes from Orlando and MCO airport, allowing Central Floridians and visitors easy access to a Celebrity ship for the first time. 

Celebrity is also reimagining its cruises from Port Tampa Bay. They’re adding more departures from the port, where Celebrity Constellation will sail from this port and offer 6- to 7- night Caribbean sailings. Fourteen different itineraries are available from Port Tampa Bay, which is excellent for those in West Florida. 

More visits to Perfect Day at CocoCay

As announced earlier this year, some Celebrity ships will also sail to Perfect Day at Coco Cay. Picture yourself on a secluded island paradise, surrounded by turquoise waters and powdery white sands. Enter Perfect Day at CocoCay, a private haven nestled in The Bahamas. This oasis offers endless possibilities, from relaxing by the largest freshwater pool in The Bahamas to indulging in delectable cuisine at the specialty restaurant. Don’t miss the exclusive Hideaway Beach, an adults-only retreat featuring private cabanas and a signature food outlet debuting in January 2024.

CocoCay has proven to be extremely popular since its relaunch in 2019. While technically it is Royal Caribbean’s private island, Celebrity Cruises is owned by Royal Caribbean International, allowing Celebrity to offer their guests visits to this private paradise. You can learn more about Perfect Day at Coco Cay here.
