With so many exciting things happening in the Disney Parks, we were very happy to see this news from Disney Cruise Line. A new year-round port has been announced in Port Everglades, Florida!
Read the entire announcement below which comes directly from Disney Cruse Line:
The Broward County Commission was joined today by Disney Cruise Line President Thomas Mazloum and Captain Minnie Mouse to celebrate a new agreement naming Port Everglades as Disney’s second year-round homeport. The family-favorite cruise line is bringing its magic to Broward County’s cruise port under a 15-year partnership that includes a minimum 10.6 million passenger movements, and three 5-year extension options that could add another 11.25 million passenger movements. The agreement provides for one ship to be homeported in Port Everglades year-round beginning fall 2023, joined by a second, seasonal ship in 2025.
Adding Port Everglades as a second homeport gives Disney a dedicated terminal in a market with direct highway access and one of the nation’s fastest growing airports, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL). Disney’s original homeport is Port Canaveral, located in Central Florida.
As always, our team of Memory Makers will stay updated with the latest developments regarding itineraries from this port. We look forward to having another option for Disney Cruise Line departures!
