About Miami

Miami is the "Cruise Capital of the World" and the busiest cruise homeport in North America, with ships docking at PortMiami's many terminals on Dodge Island. Terminals A, F, and G handle the largest ships in existence. MIA airport is 15 minutes west; South Beach's Art Deco district and Little Havana's Calle Ocho are the classic pre-/post-cruise stays. Caribbean turnarounds depart year-round.
