Embark from Florida: A Gateway to Caribbean Wonders & Beyond
Key West, as part of the Florida Keys archipelago, is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. As a matter-of-fact, you can easily get there by taking one of the cruises that depart out of Tampa.
Tampa welcomes many cruise ships throughout the year at its cruise terminals, offering a wide range of itineraries to Key West. Carnival Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, and Royal Caribbean are just a few of the world’s largest cruise lines.
In addition to being a convenient departure port, Tampa is also a great city that should be explored either before or after a cruise. The Channelside Entertainment Complex, located near the harbor, offers shopping, dining, and entertainment. Make your way through the Y-Bor district, where you can shop for the best hand-rolled cigars or try artisanal brews. Visit Busch Gardens, which has two exciting parks to select from for the perfect family.
If you want to relax before or after your cruise to Key West, Tampa is the place to be.
As part of the Florida Keys archipelago, Key West is famed for its pastel-hued, conch-style houses, it’s a cruise-ship stop also accessible from the mainland via the Overseas Highway. It’s known more for its coral reefs, destinations for diving and snorkeling, than for its beaches.
On land, shopping, museums, art galleries, tours, theaters and more await you. Or you can simply relax in the sand at one of our Key West beaches, by the pool at your Key West hotel, or on Duval Street with a cocktail in hand. Visit the Museum of Art and History at the Custom House, a “must-see” when in Key West. At night, streets filled with sidewalk cafes, open-air bars, legendary pubs and world-class restaurants with island specialties come alive. Drama, musicals and comedy flourish on local stages.
