Visiting the souhtern Caribbean island of Jamaica is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The best way to do this is by planning a cruise from one of the many Florida ports.
Florida, known as “The Sunshine State,” is also a top-ranked holiday destination in its own right. With so much to do in Florida, it’s worth spending a few days there before or after your cruise. As a sun, sea, and sand location, Florida attracts all kinds of travelers, from partygoers to retirees, nature lovers, thrill seekers, and even foodies, not to mention beachgoers and water sports enthusiasts. Explore some of Florida’s busy, modern cities, quiet beach towns, and beautiful natural areas.
If you’re thinking about taking a cruise from Florida with a stop in Jamaica, you have four ports to choose from: Miami, Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Tampa, and Port Canaveral (Orlando). Whichever departure port you choose on your journey from Florida to the South Caribbean island of Jamaica, with multiple stops in all kinds of different ports, you’ll be greeted by sandy white beaches, tropical weather, lush green landscapes, and colorful cultures.
So, if you want a vacation that is both exciting and restful, with a layover in Jamaica, choose one of the cruises that depart out of Florida.
Because of its five popular ports, Jamaica is a popular port of call for many cruise lines. Cruise ships dock in Montego Bay on the island’s north side, where you’ll have access to the island’s most stunning white-sand beaches. Alternatively, a ship can dock in Ocho Rios, which is known for its many beautiful sights, including the famous Dunn’s River waterfall. Falmouth, which is also equipped to handle the largest cruise ships, is located between the towns of Ocho Rios and Montego Bay and has buses, minibuses, and route taxis available to take guests to the many natural wonders and beaches around. In the island’s east, lush, rain-fed Port Antonio and a number of communities to the east serve as portals to some of the county’s most spectacular natural wonders. There is also a dock in the south in Port Royal, a former pirate colony about an hour’s drive from Kingston, the capital city.
