Where the Sunshine Works Overtime


Known as one of the most visited cruise ports in the world, Miami isn't just a gateway to your next cruise vacation—this chic city has a multitude of pre- and post-cruise offerings that will give you a reason to keep the vacation going!

The Miami of Postcards
Miami's iconic beaches offer sunny days and city nights. The entire Miami Beach area offers something for everyone – families, LGBT travelers, couples, friends – for both day trips and extended stays. With oceanfront hotels dotting Miami Beach, you'll only have to go a few steps to dip your toes into the warm Atlantic Ocean. In South Beach, stroll the Art Deco streets lined with palm trees, dine at sidewalk cafes or dance the night away at some of the city's most popular clubs. At the north end of Miami Beach, high-end luxury shopping attracts the style savvy to Lincoln Road.

Head Downtown to Live it Up
Located just minutes from the cruise port, Downtown Miami is filled with new hotels, restaurants and fabulous shopping that will give you a taste for Miami's unique atmosphere. At Bayside Marketplace, sip mojitos, stroll the scenic Miami Riverwalk or hop on a speedboat tour and cruise around Star and Palm Island past the mansions of the rich and famous. Nearby, music and arts come alive at venues such as the American Airlines Arena and the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts.

100 Years of History
The Vizcaya Museum and Gardens gives you a glimpse into the luxurious life and estate of James Deering, an industrial executive, socialite and antiques collector during the Gilded Age. The entire family will enjoy this 50-acre property that teaches visitors about the arts, the environment and the history of both Miami and the nation. Bring your camera! Iguanas, birds, manatees, butterflies and other creatures are commonly spotted on the grounds.
