Brightline High Speed Train Will Add Stop Near Port Canaveral
High-speed train service between Orlando and Port Canaveral, Florida
Brightline, a high-speed passenger rail service has confirmed that a stop will be added to Cocoa, Florida, just 8 miles away from the Port Canaveral cruise terminal.
Brightline at Orlando International Airport
This new station will allow cruise passengers to travel swiftly between Orlando International Airport, the Orlando theme parks, and Port Canaveral, Florida’s second-largest cruise terminal.
Cocoa, Florida is just south of Port Canaveral. And while a Cocoa station will be very convenient for cruise passengers, Brightline has shared that there are plans for a dedicated Port Canaveral station as well.
Brightline has a new terminal inside Terminal C at Orlando International Airport, so cruisers flying into MCO will have easy access to the trains.
Brightline trains currently run between Orlando and Miami, so this new station will also make Port Canaveral more accessible for South Florida passengers.
Orlando is home to the newest, largest, and most family-friendly cruise ships like Royal Caribbean’s Utopia of the Seas and the Disney Treasure. See the Orlando-based cruise ship fleet >
Carnival, MSC, and Norwegian also have cruise ships homeported at Port Canaveral.
Funding is still being discussed and will rely heavily on state and federal grants. There is no date set for the opening but it will likely take several years to complete the project.
