United States Cruise Ports

The United States holds 25 cruise ports, 1.6% of the 1,572 we track. 17 of them are departure ports. The most visited cruise port in the United States region is also its busiest departure port: Miami, Florida, appearing in 10,349 upcoming itineraries.

Ports here are grouped into 3 sub-regions: U.S. Pacific Northwest is the largest with 11 ports, U.S. East Coast the smallest with 3. Every port here is in United States.

Almost everything in this group is an embarkation port rather than a place ships call at. Florida does the heavy lifting: Miami, Port Canaveral and Fort Lauderdale between them account for most Caribbean departures, with Galveston and New Orleans covering the western loops from the Gulf. On the Pacific side, Seattle feeds Alaska through the summer and goes quiet in winter, while Los Angeles and San Diego run Mexico and Hawaii itineraries all year.
