Considering a trip to Florida in the year ahead? As you compare potential destinations, don’t overlook Florida’s Space Coast.
This region has a lot going on in the months to come, not least of which are dozens of rocket launches, including the fall launch of Artemis II for the NASA-planned, 10-day, crewed orbital mission to the moon. The region expects a potential two launches per week in 2025.
Looking for a place to stay? There are five hotels opening in the region in 2025, including Hyatt Place Cape Canaveral, Compass by Margaritaville Melbourne, Hilton Garden Inn Cape Canaveral, Avid Melbourne-Palm Bay and Candlewood Suites Palm Bay. New restaurants are also on tap, including two new food halls, Cocoa Beach Mercado and Destination Downtown Food Hall.
Expand your vacation by spending a few days on the Space Coast either before or after a cruise. Royal Caribbean’s Star of the Seas and Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Aqua both begin sailing from Port Canaveral this year.
“It’s always a beautiful time to visit the Space Coast, thanks to our amazing weather and endless array of things to do,” said Peter Cranis, executive director, Space Coast Office of Tourism. “Besides witnessing launches from the Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral, visitors can rub elbows with locals at any number of our world-class restaurants, with more scheduled to open in 2025.”
