CANAVERAL WINS BEST NORTH AMERICAN HOMEPORT RECOGNITION

PORT CANAVERAL, FL—October 5, 2015 – Port Canaveral has been named the “Best North American Homeport” in this year’s Cruise Critic U.S. Editors’ Picks Awards. This is the eighth year that Cruise Critic®, the world’s leading cruise reviews site and online cruise community, has held the recognition naming the best of the cruise industry in 25 categories, chosen by Cruise Critic’s international team of editors.

“Our editors live and breathe cruising, sailing year-round and covering every aspect of the industry,” explained Carolyn Spencer Brown, editor-in-chief of Cruise Critic. “With so many wonderful cruise options available, it’s never an easy list to narrow down, but these awards truly represent the lines that our experts have recognized as the best of the best. Cruise Critic’s editors considered several factors in their selection of Port Canaveral:

“Previously overshadowed by other Florida ports, Port Canaveral is one of the most up-and-coming cruise hubs in North America. Split into two areas, the facility has seven ship berths, with plans for three more. You'll find beaches, a campground, oceanfront dining, and a new Exploration Tower.”

At Port Canaveral, renovation of Cruise Terminals 5 and Cruise Terminal 10 are under way following the opening of the new $110 million Cruise Terminal 1 late last year. Next year, the Carnival Magic, Norwegian Epic, and Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas mega- ships start calling Port Canaveral home, bringing the number of homeported ships to 10.

A recent consultant's report estimates that Port Canaveral will need three additional terminals by 2040 as it competes to be the world's busiest cruise port. Port Canaveral is expected to grow by 50 percent in the next three or four years as it goes from serving 4.2 million cruise passengers annually to 6 million passengers.

“We continually focus on customer service and meeting the needs of our cruise partners and their guests as a top priority,” said Robert ‘Bobby G’ Giangrisostomi, Senior Director of Cruise Business Development. “Port Canaveral follows Mr. Walt Disney’s philosophy of ‘do what you do so well that they will want to see it again and bring their friends.’ This recognition shows we are accomplishing our goal.”

The new seven-story Exploration Tower attraction serves as the anchor of the redevelopment area of Port Canaveral known as the Cove. Plans call for new retail, entertainment, restaurants, and a luxury hotel. Construction is expected to begin late this year.

TALL SHIP RETURNS TO PORT CANAVERAL NOVEMBER 14-30

The Spanish Tall Ship El Galeon that was featured as part of last year’s Viva Florida 500 Tall Ship Event will be returning to Port Canaveral for its last port-of-call on the Sail to Sunny Fort Lauderdale 16th Century Ship Tour.

El Galeón Andalucía is a replica of the late 16th century fabled merchant vessels and war ships that made up the early navies of Europe. The ship is 170 feet long, weighs almost 500 tons, and is the only Galeon class vessel sailing the world today.

The ship will docked in the Cove in Port Canaveral and be open for public tours weekends from 10 am to 6 pm and weekdays from 12 noon to 6 pm. Five of the six decks will be available to tour. It carries an all-Spanish crew of of about 20 sailors who live onboard and will be on hand to greet and talk with visitors about the history of the ship and what it is like to sail on her.

"The National Air, Sea and Space Foundation is proud to bring the spirit of discovery and exploration of El Galeon back to it’s hometown community” said Bryan Lilley, head of the National Air, Sea & Space Foundation. “When you step on board the ship it’s like traveling back in time 500 years to experience for yourself what it was like to explore the New World.”

Port Canaveral’s Exploration Tower will feature an exhibition of 16th century maps and will show a video about El Galeon’s history in the tower theatre. Admission to Exploration Tower will be included at no additional charge with El Galeon Tall Ship tickets.
