Broward County’s Port Everglades has closed out a two-week stretch that saw three new cruise ships complete their namings, Plaques-and-Keys ceremonies and maiden voyages, according to a statement.

Princess Cruises’ Star Princess began the series with her naming on November 6, followed by her Plaques-and-Keys ceremony on November 7. Disney Cruise Line’s Disney Destiny held her christening on November 10 and a Plaques-and-Keys presentation on November 19. Celebrity Cruises rounded out the lineup with the November 16 naming of Celebrity Xcel and a Plaques-and-Keys event on November 9.

The port saluted each ship’s maiden voyage with traditional tug sprays, delighting sailing guests and local residents who hosted sail-away gatherings along the port’s channel.

“These milestones highlight the confidence that the world’s leading cruise brands continue to place in Port Everglades,” said Port Everglades CEO and Port Director Joseph Morris. “To welcome three next-generation ships within days of one another speaks to our operational agility, our collaborative partnerships and the strength of the cruise industry. We thank all of our partners for making these milestones successful.”

The 2026 cruise season, officially underway as of October, will see the port host nine cruise lines, 40 cruise ships and one fast ferry. Next summer, the port will homeport Royal Caribbean’s Allure of the Seas and Jewel of the Seas, Celebrity’s Celebrity Reflection, Disney’s Disney Destiny, Princess Cruises’ Regal Princess and Baleària Caribbean’s fast ferry Jaume II.

Looking ahead, Royal Caribbean’s third Icon-class vessel, Legend of the Seas, will homeport at Port Everglades beginning in November 2026. With a capacity for more than 5,600 guests, it will be the largest cruise ship ever to sail from the port.
