Brightline, Florida’s ultra-modern eco-friendly intercity passenger rail, is catching the 2024 WAVE season, when cruise lines typically offer savings and deals, giving travelers a chance to jump on their cruise plans. Since launching service in South Florida in 2018 and expanding to Central Florida in 2023, Brightline has become the preferred choice for travelers connecting to their favorite cruise port to set sail on their vacation.
From Station to Vacation
Brightline’s From Station to Vacation cruise offer connects cruisers to Florida’s top cruise ports in style. When reserving a PREMIUM ticket, complimentary Brightline+ ride is included so the vacation can begin at the door, by getting picked up from home or hotel, and to the cruise port all in one ticket. The PREMIUM ticket also includes access to exclusive station lounges, priority boarding, extra space, as well as complimentary drinks and snacks along the way. Cruise Ports near Brightline stations include Port Miami, Port Everglades and Port of Palm Beach. Cruisers sailing from Port Canaveral can connect to cruise line transportation available at Orlando International Airport.
