Greater Miami and Miami Beach reaffirms its global leadership as the Cruise Capital of the World®, hitting some major milestones through April 2025. So far this year, MSC World America launched from MSC’s new 490,000-square-foot terminal, the largest in the world, and Norwegian’s Aqua, which sails to the Caribbean from Miami, also made its maiden voyage. Those milestones coincide with Seatrade Cruise Global, the world’s largest cruise industry convention, celebrating its 40th anniversary at the Miami Beach Convention Center. PortMiami welcomes 8.2 million passengers annually and recently introduced its Bayside Concierge Program, which allows travelers to check their luggage so they can enjoy the city while waiting to set sail. The port is also leading the way in sustainability with the largest shore-power system in the world, enabling cruise ships to reduce emissions while docked.
