Choose the Right Cruise Stay

Ybor Roost for Couples

Ybor Roost is an art-filled tiny house with a private fenced backyard and hot tub. It is most comfortable for two, with room for up to four using a queen sleeper sofa. When one-night stays are available, it can be an especially convenient pre-cruise or post-cruise option for couples.

Urban Perch for Families and Groups

Urban Perch is a three-bedroom townhome that sleeps six comfortably and accommodates up to eight. Two king bedrooms, a third bedroom with two full beds, shared living space, a full kitchen, and a private rooftop make it easier for a cruise group to stay together before embarkation.

Getting Between Ybor City and the Cruise Terminals

The free TECO streetcar connects Ybor City with the Channel District, Water Street, downtown Tampa, the Florida Aquarium, and areas near Port Tampa Bay. Because cruise schedules, luggage, and terminal assignments vary, many guests also choose a short rideshare or taxi on embarkation morning. Always confirm your terminal and boarding time with your cruise line.
