BREVARD COUNTY • PORT CANAVERAL, FLORIDA – The world’s second-busiest cruise port will see even more passengers arriving at its terminals in the coming months as Port Canaveral welcomed Voyager of the Seas as the fourth Royal Caribbean International ship to call the Port home.

The ship joins Royal Caribbean’s Wonder of the Seas, Utopia of the Seas, and Adventure of the Seas at the Space Coast port, which saw more than 7.6 million passengers during fiscal 2024.

The four Royal Caribbean ships homeporting at Port Canaveral this season will bring 18,118 passengers to the port for each sailing, reinforcing its role as a key hub for Caribbean cruises.

Voyager of the Seas arrived at the Port late last month, and to celebrate Canaveral Port Authority Commission, Vice Chairman Wayne Justice and Voyager of the Seas, Captain Josep Ruyra, participated in a traditional maritime plaque exchange this week.
