Cruises from Tampa: every ship sailing in 2026 and 2027
Eight ships sail from Tampa in winter 2026–27, and four of them stay all year: Carnival Paradise, Enchantment and Radiance of the Seas, and Margaritaville at Sea's Islander. Most trips are 4 to 7 nights to Cozumel, Key West, Costa Maya and the Western Caribbean.
Saturday and Sunday are the busiest days, with three ships on almost every winter Sunday. The dates here come from the port's own schedule, which lists the terminal for every sailing through September 2027, and the cruise lines' announcements for 2027–28.

Common questions
Which cruise lines sail from Tampa?
Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Margaritaville at Sea, Celebrity and Norwegian in 2026–27. Norwegian leaves in April 2027 with nothing announced after that.
Why are Tampa's cruise ships smaller?
Every ship has to pass under the Sunshine Skyway Bridge at the mouth of Tampa Bay, and harbor pilots limit ships to about 180 feet above the waterline. The newest, biggest ships are too tall.
Can I cruise from Tampa in summer?
Yes. Carnival Paradise, Enchantment and Radiance of the Seas and Margaritaville at Sea Islander sail all year, mostly 4- and 5-night trips to Mexico and the Western Caribbean.
