Florida’s Space Coast · USA
Space history. Atlantic beaches. A day by the water.
Port Canaveral is your starting point for Florida’s Space Coast. Make room for the rockets of Kennedy Space Center, a beach stop at Jetty Park or a boat trip through Cocoa Beach’s lagoon waterways.
Explore things to doYour time ashore
For a port call, fit your outing around the ship’s all-aboard time. For a stay before or after your cruise, you can give a larger attraction more room in your day.
Beyond the terminal
Choose one main outing, then build the rest of your day around it.

Merritt Island
See the Rocket Garden and explore the visitor complex’s spaceflight exhibits. A good choice when you want to make space history the focus of your day.
