Located on the famous 17th Street Causeway in the heart of the Fort Lauderdale Yachting Center, the Renaissance Fort Lauderdale Cruise Port is just across the street from Port Everglades and the Browad County Convention Center.  We are one block from the Intracoastal Waterway, and 1 mile from the beach.  We are within walking distance to over 40 restaurants of every cuisine, fast food and small local fare.  There are numerous shopping plazas with boutiques and sidewalk cafes, and we are steps from large seafood and Italian eateries and intimate wine tasting bistros. Guests can walk one block and ride the water taxi to anywhere in Fort Lauderdale – the beaches, Las Olas Boulevard where there's upscale shopping and dining, the Riverfront where there's nightclubs, shopping and cinema, and downtown Fort Lauderdale's Museum of Art and the Broward Center for Performing Arts.
