The new terminal will be able to accommodate the Company’s largest and most environmentally high-performing cruise ships. These include MSC Cruises’ newest flagship MSC Seashore, which is currently nearing completion at the Fincantieri shipyard in Monfalcone and due to begin cruising from Miami this November, as well as the line’s future LNG-powered World Class ships. A hotel close to Miami International Airport is perfect if you have a late flight into the city or are flying out early in the morning.

Are There Future Developments for Miami Cruise Terminals?
Similarly, there are rental car companies that provide courtesy shuttles after you drop off your vehicle. Moving from Terminal F, MSC Cruises will sail out of a newly designed Terminals AA/AAA in 2024. Carnival’s ships are based at Terminals D and E, and the newly renovated Terminal F from 2022.
(NEW) Carnival Terminal F
The company will build two of those new docks; Miami-Dade County will construct the third. The project also involves the construction of related shore infrastructure, including water supply stations and four passenger embarkation decks. The port’s recent infrastructure expansion added three new cruise terminals with ongoing construction of future facilities. The port is also finalizing its Shore Power Program that will give the port the capability to plug three cruise ships into shore power.

The airport is less than a ten-minute drive or shuttle bus ride from cruise terminals. Also nearby are the peaceful neighborhoods of Coconut Grove and Coral Gables, 15 to 20 minutes south-west of the port. MSC Cruises is building the largest cruise terminal in North America that will be able to accommodate 36,000 passengers in a day. Located at the Dodge Island north part are terminals B/C, D, E , F, G, on the west is terminal H (V) and on the south – terminal J.
All parking locations accept cash, MasterCard, Visa, American Express, Discover and major U.S. Uber and Lyft can also be cheaper than a taxi or renting a car, especially if you do not plan to be on the road during your entire stay in the city. Car rental agencies have offices at PortMiami, Miami International Airport, Downtown, and other parts of the city. Brickell City Centre is another shopping destination close to the port. With over 120 stores and services spread across four floors, the shopping center has something for everyone. The shopping center is served by the Metromover’s Brickell City Centre station as well as the free Brickell Trolley.
The new station serves high-speed trains and connects PortMiami directly with the USA's intercity railway system and Orlando International Airport. Construction works on Virgin Trains PortMiami are scheduled for completion in 2022. RCCL later added to the project another building (named "Innovation Lab") that serves as the corporation's headquarters. Innovation Lab is sized 1860 m2 (20,000 ft2) and also hosts the company's ship design studio. Terminal F is PortMiami's 3rd cruise terminal dedicated to Carnival ships as well as currently the largest in North America.
New improvements meet the silver standard for eco-efficiency and green practices and include new boarding bridges directly onto the ship. Not to be outdone, Miami Cruise Terminal B is in the final stages of constructing a new state-of-the-art terminal serving Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL). Known as the Pearl of Miami, this futuristic 166,500 sq.ft.terminal was designed by Miami-based architects Bermello Ajamil & Partners.
Since January 2024, in Block 55 at Sawyer's Walk (premium retail shopping and residential area in Downtown Miami) is headquartered MSC Group (the world's second-largest container shipping company/after Maersk). The new station serves high-speed trains and connects PortMiami directly with the USA's intercity railway system (via Aventura, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach) to Orlando International Airport. In 2017 started discussions for turnaround operations by vessels of Virgin Voyages and NCL-Norwegian.

Carnival Cruise ships dock in St Thomas primarily at the Havensight Cruise Pier (West Indian Company Dock). St. Thomas is a port of call for Carnival Cruise’s Caribbean tours and not a port of departure or arrival. MSC also provides airport transfer, however, this is typically on the day of departure or arrival. Alternatively, you can also book an Uber/Lyft that would be approximately $20 from Miami Airport and $45 from Fort Lauderdale Airport. Many of these hotels provide a panoramic view of the port as well as the beaches and islands beyond it. MSC cruise port is also easily accessible from all parts of Miami and its neighboring cities of Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, etc.
The cruise shore-power facilities are to be installed at four PortMiami cruise terminals - Terminal A (RCI-Royal Caribbean International), Terminal B (NCL-Norwegian and MSC), Terminal F (CCL-Carnival), and Terminal V (Virgin Voyages). When completed (2023-Q4), the combined shore-power system will be the world's largest. In addition to offering state-of-the-art passenger service facilities, the new terminal will also be endowed with several office spaces, a multi-level parking for approximately 2,400 vehicles and envisages the construction of a new road connection. Moreover, the project also provides for the construction of two modern and efficient docks, measuring 750 meters in total. Lastly, the project includes the construction of related seashore infrastructure, including water and power supply stations. In 2016, PortMiami handled nearly 4,98 million cruise passengers and also added new (MSC-exclusive) terminal for year-round homeporting.
Norwegian Cruise Line operates out of Terminals B and C, while the new Terminal K will be the base for Disney Cruise Line. If you are planning a pre- or post-cruise stay in Miami, there are plenty of hotels close to the Port of Miami that cater to virtually any taste and budget. Many cruise operators include both these aspects in their itinerary, with an adventure trip to the Everglades as well as a cultural and art tour of Miami.
Cruisers can also arrive at the Port of Miami from the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), which is about 25 miles away. As is the case with MIA, you have the option to arrange a shuttle with your cruise line. Pickup locations are located on the middle inner curb of arrivals level. Take the Metrorail's Orange Line to downtown Miami's Freedom Tower stop (about 30 minutes). From there, hop on Miami Trolley's Coral Way route to take you the rest of the way. The trolley drops off at the port every 15 to 20 minutes from early until mid-evening all days except Sunday.
PortMiami's MSC terminals AA and AAA can serve 2 turnarounds/homeported ships simultaneously and have max capacity passengers daily. Port Miami cruise ship schedule shows timetable calendars of all arrival and departure dates by month. The port's schedule lists all ships (in links) with cruises going to or leaving from Miami, Florida. To see the full itineraries (ports of call dates and arrival / departure times) and their lowest rates – just follow the corresponding ship-link. Most ships at berth at the new Miami terminal will be able to plug in to the local power grid, in line with PortMiami’s plans to enable shore power connectivity.
