Which Tampa Terminal Does Your Ship Use?
Port Tampa Bay has three cruise terminals and two separate official parking locations. Select your ship to see which terminal you’re leaving from and where to park for it.
Schedules change and ships get reassigned — if your ship isn’t listed, just call us with your ship and sail date.
Three Terminals, Two Parking Locations
Every Tampa cruise terminal is in the Channel District, a few blocks apart — but the port runs two separate official parking locations, and which one you use depends on your terminal.
Terminal 2 — 651 Channelside Drive
Park at the Channelside Parking Garage, 810 Channelside Drive, a short walk west.
Terminal 3 — 815 Channelside Drive
Park at the Channelside Parking Garage, directly across the street. Enter the terminal from York Street.
Terminal 6 — 1333 McKay Street
Park at the official McKay Street lot, 1331 McKay Street, right next door. Not the Channelside garage.
Your boarding documents name your terminal. If you can’t find it, one call and we’ll confirm it and reserve the right location.
From Channelside Drive to a Confirmed Spot
- Tell us your ship and sail date — we confirm which of the three terminals you’re leaving from.
- We match you to the right location — Terminals 2 and 3 use one garage, Terminal 6 uses a separate lot.
- Call Phone Reservations to check current availability.
- We confirm your spot and complete your reservation.

Call to Check AvailabilitySituations Worth Mentioning When You Call
Sailing Margaritaville at Sea?
Your ship leaves from Terminal 6 on McKay Street, which has its own official lot. The Channelside garage everyone else uses won’t work for you. Call so we reserve the right one.
Driving a van, RV or anything over 17.5 feet?
The port doesn’t publish size limits or rates for oversized vehicles. We have a lot that takes them, with a free shuttle to your terminal. Tell us what you’re driving before you set out.
Lots of luggage or traveling with older passengers?
Drop passengers and bags at the terminal before you park — porters take it from there. And the official garage offers a valet upgrade if you’d rather not park yourself.
