“The upcoming season reflects the enduring strength of cruise tourism in Miami Dade County,” said Miami Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. “Cruising has deep roots here. It began in Miami and continues to flourish. These new ship arrivals demonstrate how PortMiami remains at the forefront of the industry and a defining gateway for travelers from around the world.”

To help make arrival easier, travelers are encouraged to park in the garage or surface lot designated for their ship. PortMiami also advises passengers to arrive during their scheduled embarkation time and use the appropriate entrance for their cruise terminal:

  • Cruise Terminals AA, A, B, C, and D: Enter through the PortMiami Tunnel.
  • Cruise Terminals E, F, J, and V: Enter through the PortMiami Bridge.

These guidelines are intended to help keep traffic moving and make the arrival process easier for passengers.

“The port’s continued momentum highlights our longstanding partnerships with cruise brands. Miami has long been recognized as the heart of modern cruising. Welcoming this diverse array of ships reinforces that legacy and underscores how PortMiami continues to shape the cruise experience while supporting tourism and economic growth throughout the region,” said Jonathan Daniels, PortMiami Director and CEO.
