When you arrive in the Tampa Port, spend your time ashore exploring a Tampa Bay attraction that opens the window to the mysteries of the ocean, both around Florida and beyond. A shore excursion to the Florida Aquarium offers a dramatic and unique look at all that swims, floats, preys and crawls in and around the deep blue sea.

The Florida Aquarium features 200,000 square feet (18,580 square meters) of beautiful exhibits full of marine animals from Florida and around the world. It’s a Tampa Bay attraction that’s sure to enhance your experience in port. Home to more than 20,000 aquatic plants and marine animals, the aquarium tells the story of water’s journey to the sea -- from a single drop of rain to the deep waters where the ocean’s top predators are found.
