Transportation

Tampa International Airport

Tampa International Airport deserves its reputation as one of the best in the world. The brilliant original design has proven itself since 1971; growth and expansion occur without shortchanging passengers or diminishing services to the traveling public. Conde Nast Traveler magazine, the Airline Passengers Association and the International Federation of Airline Passenger Associations all give A's or A+'s to Tampa's 25-year-old airport, as do most of its approximately 12 million annual passengers.




The Port of Tampa

The Port of Tampa is served by four of the world's major cruise lines; Celebrity Cruise Lines, Carnival Cruise Lines, Royal Caribbean, and Holland America. Tampa has become a popular departure city with opulent Caribbean destinations. The Port of Tampa's cruise terminals deliver passengers the type of service that meets and exceeds expectations. State-of-the-art in design, the terminals incorporate the far-reaching and diverse needs of all security agencies, while providing a comfortable, expedient cruise experience to customers. The port is also Florida's largest, handling more than half of the state's tonnage. Its economic impact tops $5.5 billion annually. Book Your Cruise
