Atlanta families can enjoy a cruise vacation without paying for flight tickets to get to a departure port!
Here is your complete guide to Carnival Cruise Line departure ports within driving distance of Atlanta, Georgia!
Have you always wanted to take your kids on a cruise but the thought of paying for cruise tickets AND plane tickets, to fly to the departure port, gives you anxiety? Join the club!
Parents want to expose their kids to fun and educational travel experiences but often stop planning a vacation once they start adding up the numbers. If you could take your kids on a vacation where you’ll visit several countries or areas of the world, and not have to buy plane tickets, wouldn’t you? Carnival Cruise Line, founded in 1972 and headquartered in Miami, Florida, allows families just that.
With dozens of cruises departing from ports within driving distance of Atlanta, there is a cruise for every family. The following port locations, all within a four to ten hour drive from Atlanta, offer Atlanta families a door to parts of the world they might not visit otherwise.
Sneak Peek – Day 5 of our upcoming Carnival Cruise!
Port Canaveral, FL
Located in Orlando, Florida, a six hour drive is all that separates you from the exciting destinations that Carnival Cruises has from this port. Destinations from Port Canaveral include the Bahamas, Bermuda, and the Caribbean.
Miami, FL
A nine-hour drive to Miami, Florida will get you cheaper options if you’d like to visit the Bahamas or the Caribbean on your Carnival Cruise. Carnival also has trips to Bermuda available from the Miami port. See what Carnival cruises your family can enjoy from Miami.
Jacksonville, FL
If you’d like a shorter drive, you can plan on heading to the port in Jacksonville, Florida, just a five-hour drive from Atlanta. Carnival Cruises offers destination options to the Bahamas and the Caribbean out of the Jacksonville port. Carnival Cruises to the Bahamas include stops in the beautiful beaches of Nassau and Half Moon Cay. See what Carnival cruises your family can enjoy from Jacksonville, FL.
Charleston, SC
Just under five hours from Atlanta sits the port in Charleston, South Carolina. That short drive will open you up options to visit the Bahamas, Bermuda, and the Caribbean as well. See what Carnival cruises your family can enjoy from Charleston, SC.
Mobile, AL
If you’re looking for options for trips to the beautiful islands and coastlines of the Caribbean, you can make the trip to the port in Mobile, Alabama, just a four and a half hour drive from Atlanta. The Carnival Cruise in the Western Caribbean visits beautiful locations such as Cozumel Island in Mexico, and the beaches at Yucatan and Costa Maya, which are along the coastlines of the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico.

Fort Lauderdale, FL
Finally, a drive to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, a nine hour drive from home in Atlanta, will open up to you and your family cheaper opportunities for cruises in the Bahamas and the Caribbean.

If expensive plane tickets are preventing you from enjoying the opportunity to take your family on a cruise to the Bahamas, the Caribbean, or Bermuda, think again! There are options! A much cheaper option is driving, and as you saw above, there are many cruise ports within four to ten hours from Atlanta.
