Port Everglades Embracing Cruise Growth “We are seeing diversity in an extremely strong business line,” said Jonathan Daniels, CEO & Port Director. Among that diversity are new and big ships homeporting, like the Celebrity Beyond, and also the arrival of smaller boutique vessels from Azamara, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection and Swan Hellenic, among others. Port officials are also happy about the long-term business mix – with agreements in place from Carnival Corporation and Royal Caribbean Group, and the addition of Disney Cruise Line.
