Port Miami

The PortMiami cruise terminal is the largest in the world with an average of 6 million cruise passengers sailing through Port of Miami annually, granting Miami its nickname “The Cruise Capital of the World”. The Port was on target to exceed 7 million cruise passengers before the pandemic shut down operations, having already handled 3.5 million passengers in fiscal year 2020. During the pandemic shutdowns, PortMiami continued to innovate their terminal concepts and took the opportunity to focus on terminal construction, like Carnival Cruise Line Terminal F and Terminal V Virgin Voyages. The Port offers a selection of 22 cruise lines operating 82 ships sailing throughout the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America, and beyond. As cruising slowly returns, more tourists will be visiting Miami via water transportation. PortMiami is a vital economic engine of the County, contributing $43 billion annually to the Florida’s economy while supporting 334,500 jobs statewide.
