Port Canaveral, Florida is located about 60 miles east of Orlando and is often a destination port for cruises sailing along the East Coast of the United States. We usually rent a car when visiting Port Canaveral since they tend to be inexpensive and give us the most flexibility. Walt Disney World Resort, Universal Studios, and SeaWorld in Orlando are top destinations for cruise passengers visiting Port Canaveral. However, since most ships don’t spend a lot time in port, the two-hour round-trip to Orlando and back can often leave you with very little time to enjoy the parks. Because of that, we tend to stay a bit closer to the port and enjoy the many nearby attractions.
