Carnival Inspiration Moored at Tampa Dock At Tampa Bay you’ll find one of American’s top cruise ship ports. A combination of easy access, modern cruise terminals, and convenient on-terminal parking make Tampa an ideal place to start your voyage. The port is an easy transfer from Tampa International Airport (just 10 miles away), which is served by flights from a multitude of locations. Currently four cruiselines sail from Tampa, Carnival, Holland America, Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises. Between them they offer a great range of Caribbean itineraries. Carnival was the first to sail out of Tampa. They launched their first service in 1994. Thanks to strong demand Carnival soon added another ship, the 2600 passenger Sensation, which was specially designed to fit beneath Tampa’s famous Sunshine Skyway Bridge. Carnival’s success sailing from Tampa did not pass unnoticed by the other cruiselines. Now a total of four sail out of Tampa; Carnival, Holland America, Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises.
