Port Canaveral Raises Cruise Parking to $20 a Day

Port officials say the higher rate will fund upgrades to manage record passenger traffic.

Overview

  • The new daily rate took effect on October 1, 2025, marking the first increase since 2017 and is reflected on the port’s Directions & Parking webpage.
  • Pricing now stands at $20 plus tax per day for all vehicles, including RVs, with no size-based differentiation.
  • Daily charges include both embarkation and debarkation days, so a typical 3‑night sailing incurs four days of parking, or $80 plus tax.
  • Officials reported 8.4 million passengers processed so far this year and project 9 million next year as larger ships drive higher volumes.
  • Port statements and travel outlets indicate the added revenue targets infrastructure improvements, with cruisers urged to budget and reserve parking in advance.
