Port Canaveral has broken ground on a $95 million expansion and renovation of Cruise Terminal 10, a project designed to accommodate the cruise industry’s largest ships and support continued passenger growth at one of the world’s busiest cruise ports.
Scheduled for completion in Nov. 2027, the upgraded terminal will be able to serve vessels carrying up to 6,700 passengers while enhancing the embarkation and debarkation experience for cruise guests.
The project is part of Port Canaveral Advantage, the port’s nearly $1 billion capital improvement program, which includes infrastructure, technology and facility upgrades across the port.
“We’ve taken everything we’ve learned about cruise operations to create a terminal that is highly functional and visually beautiful,” said Capt. John W. Murray, Port Canaveral CEO, in a press advisory. “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.”
Designed for Larger Ships and Growing Demand
Designed by Miami-based Bermello Ajamil, the reimagined Cruise Terminal 10 will expand to more than 145,000 square feet—nearly 30 percent larger than the current facility.
The redesigned terminal will feature modern interiors, expanded security screening and luggage handling areas, additional elevators and escalators, upgraded signage, improved HVAC systems and a new glass facade designed to bring more natural light into the terminal.
Port Canaveral currently serves seven major cruise lines operating more than 1,000 sailings annually from 18 homeported ships, including many of the industry’s newest and largest vessels.
