Conveniently located in the heart of Broward County, Port Everglades is easily accessible by car, taxi, bus, train, and ship. It is the only port in the nation located adjacent to an airport, making it easy to fly and cruise on the same day. From Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport to Port Everglades, the average taxi fare is $18 – $21 (taxi rates are subject to change without notice).

Port Everglades has three entrances:

  • SE 17th St., located at Eisenhower Blvd.
  • State Road 84, located just east of U.S. 1, located at Spangler Blvd.
  • I-595 East, located at Eller Dr.

Each entrance has a security checkpoint where cruise guests and visitors ages 18 and older are required to provide the following:

  • Government-issued photo ID (such as a driver’s license or passport)
  • Cruise documents

No weapons are allowed on port property and vehicles are subject to search in accordance with Florida State Statute 311.12(3b).

How much time should I allow for travel between the Airport and Port Everglades?

Although it is a short distance we recommend allowing 45 minutes if you are flying into the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), which includes:

  • claiming luggage at the airport
  • boarding transportation to the port
  • checking baggage curbside at the cruise terminal
  • going through security at the cruise terminal

The Miami International Airport is a 35 to 45 minute drive from Port Everglades. So you should plan for 70 to 90 minutes to go through the transfer process.
