Bridging Florida’s Gulf Coast to World-Class Cruise Ports
Welcome to Cruise Port Connections, your premier charter service dedicated to seamlessly connecting Florida’s Gulf Coast travelers with the bustling cruise ports of Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Since our inception in 1999, we’ve been on a mission to transform the often stressful journey to cruise ports into an integral part of your vacation experience.
Our Story: From Shore to Ship
Cruise Port Connections was born from a simple observation: while Florida boasts some of the world’s busiest and most exciting cruise ports, many vacationers along the Gulf Coast faced challenges in reaching them. Our founders, seasoned travelers themselves, recognized the need for a reliable, comfortable, and stress-free transportation solution tailored specifically for cruise passengers.
What began as a small operation with a handful of vans has grown into a fleet of modern, cruise-ready vehicles, serving thousands of happy passengers each year. Our growth mirrors the expanding cruise industry in Florida, and we’re proud to play a crucial role in supporting the Sunshine State’s position as the cruise capital of the world.
