Charlestonians used to board cruise ships at Union Pier. That ended at the close of 2024, when the port stopped homeporting to redevelop the waterfront. The nearest embarkation ports are now Jacksonville, about four hours by car, and Port Canaveral, about six, and Charleston International, roughly six miles from the city, flies to Miami and Fort Lauderdale.
Charleston draws visitors from everywhere, so its residents often want something different when they leave: Europe, Alaska, a safari. Dove Travel and Cruises International, a Nashville, Tennessee agency, plans for the Lowcountry by phone and email.
