Port Canaveral has begun a $95 million renovation of Cruise Terminal 10, which will accommodate ships carrying up to 6,700 passengers and is expected to be completed in November, 2027.

The port, which was ranked the world's busiest cruise port in 2025, is investing nearly $1 billion through its Port Canaveral Advantage initiative to upgrade Cruise Terminal 10 and modernize facilities, technology, and operations.

Modern Design & Expanded Amenities

The 145,000-square-foot terminal is being designed by the “Miami-based architectural firm Bermello Ajamil, the reimagined facility will feature spacious, modern interiors with a streamlined look and feel, colorful artwork, a striking glass façade that will introduce more natural light and other design elements that will create a welcoming and inviting environment for cruise guests,” said Port Canaveral officials, adding the space will also feature expanded security screening and luggage areas, new elevators and escalators, enhanced signage and more.

Prioritizing the Guest Experience

“We’ve taken everything we’ve learned about cruise operations to create a terminal that is highly functional and visually beautiful,” said Port Canaveral CEO Captain John W. Murray. “Our cruise business investments are highly focused on ensuring that guest arrivals and departures are comfortable, efficient, and above all, support the high quality experience we provide for our cruise partners and their guests.”
