The future of cruising at Port Tampa Bay is beginning to take shape. 🚧

Expected to be completed in 2029, the terminal will accommodate more than 200 additional ship calls each year, helping Port Tampa Bay serve more than 2 million cruise passengers annually while supporting jobs, tourism, and economic growth across West Central Florida and beyond.

Happy National Maritime Day! 🎉

Join us in celebrating the rich history of American maritime commerce and the dedicated men and women who carry that legacy forward. 💪
The maritime industry is our history and our future.
