Port Everglades getting raft of new ships
Port Everglades, the world’s third busiest cruise port, is about to become home to five of the industry’s eight newest ships.
The port in Greater Fort Lauderdale will serve approximately 3.14 million cruise passengers this coming year, according to port officials.
Several newly built cruise ships joining the Port Everglades fleet this season include:
o Holland America Line’s 2,104-passenger Eurodam.
o Princess Cruises’ newest ship, Ruby Princess.
o Celebrity Cruises’ new 2,850-passenger Celebrity Solstice.
o Carnival Cruise Lines’ 113,300-ton Carnival Splendor (making her maiden call in the US in November when the 3,006-passenger ship sails into Port Everglades).
o Royal Caribbean International’s 160,000-ton Independence of the Seas, which will be the largest cruise ship to ever visit Port Everglades when the 3,634-passenger ship arrives here.
In addition, sailing for the first time from Port Everglades are Princess Cruises’ Tahitian Princess, MSC Cruises’ Orchestra and Carnival Cruise Lines’ Carnival Freedom (which will be sailing year-round from Greater Fort Lauderdale).
