During the last few years, the Tampa Port Authority and the City of Tampa have developed Tampa’s Channelside area into an impressive waterfront cruise terminal and entertainment center. There are three cruise terminals, all a short distance from one another, to accommodate the six (6) ships that serve the Tampa Bay area. In addition, there are hotels and a convention center located nearby. The highlight is The Florida Aquarium which is located between Tampa Cruise Terminals 2 and 3. Tampa has many other outstanding attractions not too far from the Tampa cruise terminal, including Busch Gardens, Ybor City, and the Tampa Museum of Art. Tampa International Airport, rated as a world class airport, is served by 24 major carriers with both domestic and international airline service.Those wishing to combine a trip to Orlando’s Disneyworld, Sea World, or Universal Studios are only one hour away from the Tampa cruise terminal.
