According to a piece in the Orlando Sentinel, Port Canaveral has been given more than $1.2 million in funds from their governing body to begin work on upgrading Cruise Terminal 3.
This is due largely to the number of large ships that have registered an interest in shifting their departure ports up to Port Canaveral from Fort Lauderdale. This includes the Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas (the World’s largest cruise ship which can accommodate up to 7,000 guests) as well as the Harmony of the Seas. There’s also Norwegian Cruise Line’s Epic as well as Carnival’s Magic.
The project, will be lead by a CH2MH Hill, a Colorado based engineering firm. Funds are being allocated to cover the costs of designing a new berth drudging as well as bidding and construction support.
The current berth will need to be demolished to make way for the new terminal. Renovations are expected to finish in 2019.
Port Canaveral is rapidly expanding. Just last year it completed a $50 million upgrade to Cruise Terminal 1. There’s no word yet on what impact the expansion and development of Port Canaveral will have on Disney Cruise Line guests which currently board at Terminal 8.
