Royal Caribbean from Fort Lauderdale
Royal Caribbean has the biggest 2027 program at Port Everglades, with 249 sailings on eight ships. Jewel of the Seas runs 72 three- and four-night Bahamas trips from late April through December, and Oasis of the Seas (49 sailings) and Brilliance of the Seas (32, January to April) fill the same short-cruise slot in winter. Perfect Day at CocoCay, Royal Caribbean's private island, appears on 168 of the 249 port lists. For longer trips, Allure of the Seas sails 6- and 8-night Caribbean loops from May to October, and Symphony of the Seas takes over from August to December.
Celebrity Cruises from Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale is Celebrity Cruises' main Florida base in 2027, with 157 sailings on six ships. Celebrity Reflection carries 74 of them, mostly 3- and 4-night trips, and 57 Celebrity sailings carry the "Key West & Bahamas" title, which is why Key West appears on 72 Celebrity port lists. Celebrity Beyond, Celebrity Ascent, Celebrity Silhouette and Celebrity Eclipse sail 6- to 13-night Caribbean voyages, mostly between November and April, with routes such as Aruba, Curacao and Bonaire or the "Ultimate Southern Caribbean".
Princess Cruises from Fort Lauderdale
Princess Cruises sails 150 times from Fort Lauderdale in 2027 on ten ships, but only one of those departures falls between May and October. The winter fleet includes Sun Princess (33 sailings), Regal Princess (28) and Star Princess (26), on 7-night Caribbean weeks and 14-night "Adventurer" combinations. Amber Cove in the Dominican Republic (81 sailings), Grand Turk (63) and Celebration Key on Grand Bahama (62) are the most frequent Princess stops. Princess also has the long voyages: 16 Panama Canal sailings, 10 transatlantic crossings and Coral Princess's 129-night world cruise in January 2027.
Cunard from Fort Lauderdale
Cunard has only three 2027 departures from Fort Lauderdale, all on Queen Anne and all one-way: a 14-night crossing to Southampton, a 17-night voyage to Rio de Janeiro and a 37-night South America voyage, departing in January and March.
Which Fort Lauderdale Cruise Line Is Cheapest in 2027?
For solo travelers, Princess Cruises had the lowest typical interior range on 2027 Fort Lauderdale sailings in CabinSaver's tracking, at approximately $193-277 per night at single occupancy (as of October 2026, subject to change). Royal Caribbean's range is wider because it mixes short weekend trips with peak holiday weeks, and Celebrity's is the narrowest.
| Cruise line | Priced 2027 sailings | Typical interior fare per night, solo (approx., as of October 2026, subject to change) | Lowest single observation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Princess Cruises | 150 | Approx. $193-277 | Approx. $91 |
| Royal Caribbean | 249 | Approx. $225-364 | Approx. $125 |
| Celebrity Cruises | 143 | Approx. $201-278 | Approx. $134 |
The lowest single fares came on long voyages rather than Caribbean weeks: a Princess Panama Canal sailing at approximately $91 per night and a Royal Caribbean transatlantic crossing at approximately $125 per night, based on CabinSaver's own fare tracking as of October 2026. On short trips, Royal Caribbean's 147 Bahamas sailings typically ran approximately $210-326 per night for solo travelers, and Celebrity's 62 priced Bahamas sailings approximately $183-255 (subject to change). Cunard's three voyages are too few for a typical range.
Where Do Fort Lauderdale Cruises Go?
The Caribbean is the most common 2027 destination from Fort Lauderdale, with 312 of the 559 tracked sailings, followed by the Bahamas with 210. Each sailing is counted once, under the destination its cruise line lists.
| Destination | 2027 sailings | Cruise lines (sailings) | Typical length |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caribbean | 312 | Princess (123), Royal Caribbean (100), Celebrity (89) | 6-14 nights |
| Bahamas | 210 | Royal Caribbean (147), Celebrity (63) | 3-4 nights |
| Panama Canal | 18 | Princess (16), Celebrity (2) | 11-23 nights |
| Transatlantic | 15 | Princess (10), Royal Caribbean (2), Celebrity (2), Cunard (1) | 13-46 nights |
| South America | 2 | Cunard (2) | 17-37 nights |
| World cruise | 1 | Princess (1) | 129 nights |
| Repositioning | 1 | Celebrity (1) | 8 nights |
The lines favor different islands. Royal Caribbean's Caribbean weeks lean on Willemstad and Oranjestad (38 sailings each) plus Cabo Rojo and Costa Maya, Celebrity's on Aruba, St. Kitts, Bonaire and St. Lucia, and Princess's on Amber Cove, Grand Turk and San Juan. For the islands themselves, see the Southern Caribbean and Western Caribbean port guides.
Nearly every sailing is a round trip: 246 of Royal Caribbean's 249, 154 of Celebrity's 157 and 127 of Princess's 150. The one-way exceptions are mostly spring transatlantic crossings and Princess Panama Canal voyages ending in Los Angeles.

How to Choose a Fort Lauderdale Cruise Line
Each line's 2027 Fort Lauderdale program has a distinct shape, based on CabinSaver's itinerary tracking:
- Royal Caribbean suits a short trip at any time of year: 152 three- and four-night sailings, most with a Perfect Day at CocoCay call, plus Caribbean weeks on Allure of the Seas and Symphony of the Seas.
- Celebrity Cruises suits a Key West getaway or a longer Southern Caribbean voyage. Its 3- and 4-night Celebrity Reflection trips include Key West, and its 9- to 13-night voyages reach islands such as Barbados, Dominica and Grenada.
- Princess Cruises suits a longer winter trip. It had the lowest typical solo interior range in this window, and its 14-night combinations, Panama Canal sailings and transatlantic crossings are the longest options from the port.
- Cunard suits a one-way ocean crossing on Queen Anne, with only three 2027 departures.
If you are comparing nearby ports, Miami and Port Canaveral add Norwegian Cruise Line and other lines' Bahamas and Caribbean departures within driving distance.
Planning Tips
- Pick the season before the line. From May to September, only Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises sail from Fort Lauderdale, so a summer trip narrows the choice to two lines.
- Confirm your terminal. Port Everglades has several cruise terminals, and assignments can change. Check your boarding documents and verify the terminal with your cruise line before you leave home.
- Plan your ground transport. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is typically about 2 to 3 miles from the cruise terminals, and Miami International Airport is about 25 miles away, depending on route and traffic. Allow extra time on busy weekend turnaround days.
- Compare the same basis. Solo fares include the single supplement and typically run well above per-person double-occupancy quotes, so check which basis a price uses before comparing lines.
- Check documentation early. Closed-loop round trips from Fort Lauderdale may allow U.S. citizens to sail with other accepted proof of citizenship, but a valid passport book is typically recommended, and one-way voyages generally require one. Requirements vary by itinerary and citizenship, so always verify with your cruise line and official government sources before your trip.
