As the year 2016 comes to a close, it is time to look towards 2017 which will bring another year of cruising to the Port Canaveral/Orlando cruise industry Please note, Port Canveral and Orlando are often used interchangably as the departure homeport's name. I will usually refer to this port as Port Canaveral. This year-at-a-glance does not include ships docking in Port Canaveral as a port of call. Here is an overview of what to expect from cruise lines that sail from Port Canaveral in 2017:
Carnival Cruise Line
In 2017, Carnival Cruise Line has three ships scheduled to sail year-round from the homeport. The Carnival Liberty is scheduled to primarily sail 3 and 4 night cruises. The Carnival Liberty's three night cruises typically sail to to Nassau and the Carnival Liberty's four night cruises primarily sail to Nassau and Freeport. The Carnival Sunshine is scheduled to primarily sail 5, 6, and 8 night cruises. The Carnival Sunshine has multiple 5 night cruise itineraries that sail to a variety of different parts of the Caribbean and Bahamas. The Carnival Magic is primarily scheduled to sail 6,7, and 8 night cruises from Port Canaveral in 2017. Similar to the Carnival Sunshine, the Carnival Magic has too many itinerary options for me to list everything here.
Royal Caribbean International
Royal Caribbean has two ships scheduled to sail from Port Canaveral in 2017. The Majesty of the Seas is scheduled to primarily sail 3 and 4 night cruises. The Majesty of the Seas' 3 night cruises will primarily sail to Nassau & Coco Cay, but there are a few cruises in 2017 that sail to Coco Cay & Grand Bahama instead. The order of these ports may vary depending on the cruise. The Majesty of the Seas' 4 night cruises sail to Nassau & Coco Cay. Depending on the particular cruise, the order of the ports may be different. The other ship Royal Caribbean has sailing from Port Canveral in 2017 is the Oasis of the Seas. The Oasis of the Seas will primarily sail 7 night cruises, but there are too many itinerary combinations for me to list all of them here.
Norwegian Cruise Line
Norwegian Cruise Line does not offer cruises departing Port Canaveral year round, but does have cruises scheduled for about half of the year. In 2017, the Norwegian Epic is scheduled to sail from Port Canaveral until mid-April 2017 and then return to Port Canaveral in November 2017. The Norwegian Epic has many seven night cruises scheduled for either the Eastern or Western Caribbean. There are some cruises available for booking that are longer than 7 night nights.
Disney Cruise Line
Since the Port Canaveral and Orlando area is where many people travel for Disney World, it is not surprising to find numerous cruise departures on Disney Cruise Line from Port Canaveral for 2017. In 2017, the Disney Magic, Disney Wonder, Disney Dream, and Disney Fantasy all have cruise departures of various lengths and itineraries from Port Canaveral at some point in the year. There are so many cruise departures for Disney Cruise Line in 2017 from Port Canaveral, I could write a complete separate article.
