Best value per night

Compare every month

A 10-night sailing at $2121 and a 15-night at the same price are not the same deal. This ranks the cheapest example of every ship-and-itinerary combination by fare per night, the only value measure the published fares support. The median across the whole calendar is $77 a night.

Ranked on starting fares recorded 2026-10-16, divided by nights. This measures how far the money goes, not how good the ship is. We hold no ratings or review scores. Ports are listed so you can weigh a cheap sea-day-heavy itinerary against a busier one. Fares change; check the current price with the cruise line.

Parking at the port

Garages sit across the street from Terminals 2 and 3, so you park and walk. Rates run about $18 a day plus tax. A seven-night cruise is billed as eight days, not seven.

Airport to the terminal

Tampa International is 9 miles out, 15 to 20 minutes outside rush hour. Taxi runs a $35 flat rate; rideshare is usually $20 to $35.

Which terminal

Three terminals at three addresses, and they are not next door to each other. Terminal 6 is a different part of the port entirely.

Frequently asked questions

Which cruise lines sail from Tampa?
Carnival Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, and Margaritaville at Sea all operate out of Port Tampa Bay across the period we track. Between them they run 436 departures on 12 ships between October 2026 and April 2028.
What is the cheapest month to cruise from Tampa?
On the fares we have recorded, November 2026 carries the lowest lead-in price at $257 per person. Late summer and early autumn are consistently the cheapest stretch. They overlap hurricane season, which is why fares drop. Holiday sailings in late December are the most expensive.
Why are there no giant ships sailing from Tampa?
Every ship leaving Port Tampa Bay has to pass under the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, which limits air draft to roughly 180 feet. That rules out the newest and largest classes, so Tampa is a mid-size-ship port. The biggest regulars carry around 2,700 guests.
How far ahead are Tampa cruise schedules published?
Lines typically open bookings 18 to 24 months out, in waves. Our window currently runs to April 2028; months near the far end are thinner because those schedules have not all been released yet.
How long are cruises from Tampa?
Anywhere from 4 to 16 nights. The bulk of the calendar is four- and five-night runs to Mexico and six- to eight-night Western Caribbean loops; anything longer than nine nights is unusual from this port.
Which terminal will my ship use?
Port Tampa Bay runs three cruise terminals on and around Channelside. Terminal 2 handles Carnival and Royal Caribbean, Terminal 3 handles Norwegian, Royal Caribbean and Holland America, and Terminal 6 sits just north of Terminal 3. Your terminal is printed on your boarding documents. See our terminal guide for layout and drop-off detail.
