Fort Lauderdale-Port Everglades Cruise Port Guide

Updated:

Hollywood, Florida is the home of the third largest cruise port in the world, Port Everglades, which is situated in Greater Fort Lauderdale. This one-of-a-kind recreational holiday destination offers breathtaking beaches on the Atlantic Coast and a variety of attractions just around the corner. You can enjoy amazing shopping, taste incredible food, and have the time of your life on the vast Florida Everglades.

As everything is within a walking distance, getting from the port to any of the destinations is a piece of cake. The efficient taxi service won’t cost you more than $20 in any direction, and if you are staying in a hotel, you will be provided with a free shuttle service. The best hotels on Fort Lauderdale and the wide Hallandale beaches are no more than 12 miles away from the port.
Fort Lauderdale is the best place to be, whether you are preparing for your cruise or relaxing after it. This astonishing area offers you a magnificent variety of activities and a high quality satisfaction on Florida’s best beaches. A seven day stay here is barely enough for you to enjoy all that this place have to offer and it definitely won’t be easy to choose where to spend your limited time first.

One of the suggestions of a time well spent is to aim first towards the centre of Fort Lauderdale, where you will find a great number of shops, lovely restaurants and astonishing galleries. You will enjoy a water taxi, a nice walk along the Riverwalk and an interesting and educational visit for you and your children in the Museum of Science and Discovery.

What’s even better is that they are all within close range. Las Olas Boulevard will take care of your social life by offering you extravagant boutiques and restaurants, together with its enchanting nightlife and  the famous bars, such as American Social, Mangos, O Lounge, Big City Tavern and Cash Only.
