Cruise lines from Miami: islands, gratuities and terminals, line by line

Fifteen cruise lines sail from PortMiami, and this guide takes them one at a time. The big-ship lines come first, then the premium lines, then the luxury lines. Within each group the order is alphabetical, not a ranking.

Which line sails where, and for how long, changes whenever a line opens a new season, so this guide does not describe each line's routes. Sailing counts and starting fares fill in from this site's schedule on every build, and each line's page here lists its Miami sailings by date. Fares are starting fares per person, taxes and fees included, read on November 14, 2026.

Starting fares per person, taxes and fees included, read on November 14, 2026. The terminal column gives what Miami-Dade County or the line itself names. Ships can move between terminals, so the terminal on your cruise documents is the one to use, and the terminals guide explains the port.

Which big-ship cruise lines sail from Miami?

Carnival, MSC, Norwegian and Royal Caribbean. Each has its own terminal at PortMiami, according to Miami-Dade County, and each has at least one private island or line-run destination in the Bahamas, covered in the Bahamas guide.

Carnival

Carnival says its Paradise Collection "brings together the largest collection of cruise destinations across the Caribbean, The Bahamas and Mexico", and its Miami page advertises "year-round cruises from Miami". The collection includes Celebration Key on Grand Bahama, which Carnival opened on July 19, 2025, and RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay, which it runs with Holland America. It also takes in Isla Tropicale in Roatan, Amber Cove, Puerta Maya in Cozumel and Grand Turk.

Gratuities on November 14, 2026 were $17.00 per guest per day in standard staterooms and $19.00 in suites, for guests 2 and older. The county lists Terminals D, E and F as Carnival's, and Carnival's help page gives the same three. A ship can be moved, so check your documents.

410 sailings from Miami, $222 to $1,336 per person. See Carnival's Miami sailings.

MSC

MSC says it "is the only cruise line that offers select sailings with overnight stays on its private island", Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve in the Bahamas. On gratuities MSC's own pages disagree. Its US service-charges page, read November 14, 2026, says "MSC Cruises will automatically add a daily Hotel Service Charge to your shipboard account": $17 a night, or $23 in the Yacht Club, for bookings made from May 11, 2026. Its FAQ says rates "are already inclusive of gratuities." The service-charges page is the more specific of the two, and your booking confirmation decides. Its Yacht Club is, in MSC's words, "an all-inclusive luxury cruise experience with gourmet dining, premium drinks, premium WIFI and more."

The county lists Terminal AA, opened in 2025, as MSC's. MSC says "Your designated terminal will be listed on your ticket," and Royal Caribbean also lists Terminal AA for some of its ships, so the ticket is what counts.

590 sailings from Miami, $159 to $3,707 per person. See MSC's Miami sailings.

Norwegian

Norwegian's Miami page puts its case this way: "With Free at Sea, you'll enjoy specialty dining, open bar, Free Wi-Fi, and excursion credits." I could not confirm from NCL's pages whether Free at Sea comes with every fare or is a package chosen at booking, so check the fare you are quoted. Its private island is Great Stirrup Cay, home of the Great Tides Waterpark, and it also runs Harvest Caye, a resort in Belize.

The service charge on November 14, 2026 was $20.00 per person per day for Club Balcony Suite and below and $25.00 for The Haven and suites, for bookings made on or after January 1, 2023. The county lists Terminal B, "The Pearl of Miami", as Norwegian's, and NCL calls it "the world's first LEED Gold v4-certified cruise terminal". Terminals can change, so confirm yours on your documents.

409 sailings from Miami, $179 to $2,389 per person. See Norwegian's Miami sailings.

Royal Caribbean

Royal Caribbean leads with Perfect Day at CocoCay, "an award-winning private destination exclusively for Royal Caribbean guests, located in The Bahamas." Entry there is free. Its Royal Beach Club Paradise Island in Nassau, opened in December 2025, needs a paid day pass. Royal Caribbean has also suspended all visits to Labadee, in Haiti, through April 2028.

Gratuities on November 14, 2026 were $18.50 per guest per day in most staterooms and $21.00 in suites. The county lists Terminal A, opened in 2018, as Royal Caribbean's, and says a new Royal Caribbean terminal, G, is expected to open in 2027. Royal Caribbean itself also lists Terminals AA and E for Royal Caribbean Group ships and tells passengers to "follow the signage to your corresponding terminal, as it may change."

399 sailings from Miami, $229 to $3,851 per person. See Royal Caribbean's Miami sailings.

Which premium cruise lines sail from Miami?

Azamara, Celebrity, Cunard, Holland America, Princess and Virgin Voyages. Five of them lead with a bundle: Azamara's list of what it always includes, Celebrity's All Included rate, Holland America's Have It All package, Princess's Plus and Premier packages and Virgin's fare with Wi-Fi built in. Holland America runs RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas with Carnival, and Virgin Voyages has its own Beach Club at Bimini.

Azamara

On November 14, 2026 Azamara put the value of what it always includes at over $4,500. Its list had "Beer, Wine, and Spirits", "Onboard Gratuities", a "Variety of Dining Venues", its "Signature AzAmazing Evenings" and unlimited self-service laundry. Wi-Fi is not on the list.

The county says Terminal J, on the south side of the port, is designed for small vessels and luxury cruises. Azamara's Miami port document lists Terminal J, 1120 Caribbean Way, for its Miami sailings and warns that "Assigned cruise terminals are subject to change at any time by port authorities."

18 sailings from Miami, $1,739 to $63,339 per person. See Azamara's Miami sailings.

Celebrity

Celebrity's Miami page says it "sails year-round to destinations in the Caribbean and The Bahamas", and lists Perfect Day at CocoCay among its ports. Its All Included rate adds basic Wi-Fi for all guests and its Classic Drinks Package, in select inside, ocean view, veranda, Concierge Class and AquaClass staterooms. Everyone in a stateroom must choose the same rate, and it "cannot be added after your cruise is confirmed." The All Included page does not mention gratuities.

Celebrity's Miami page says it uses Terminal G, at 909 North Cruise Boulevard, while the county says Terminal G is a new Royal Caribbean terminal expected to open in 2027. Celebrity says your terminal address is in its app or your Guest Account, and that is the one to follow.

52 sailings from Miami, $374 to $3,070 per person. See Celebrity's Miami sailings.

Cunard

Cunard's Miami page, read in its UK edition, sells Caribbean cruises that sail round trip from Miami with what Cunard calls White Star Service. The Cunard pages read for this guide gave no gratuity amount and named no Miami terminal, so check both in your booking.

26 sailings from Miami, $599 to $17,239 per person. See Cunard's Miami sailings.

Holland America

Holland America says it "offers select cruises from Miami (Port Miami) as well" and names Cozumel, Grand Turk and Martinique among the places those cruises go. It runs RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay jointly with Carnival. Its Have It All package was $65 per person per day on November 14, 2026, or $60 for cruises departing before Summer 2027, and it includes Surf Wi-Fi and a shore excursion credit of $100 on 4 to 9-night cruises, $200 on 10 to 20 nights and up to $300 on 21 nights or more.

The pages read gave no gratuity amount outside the package. Holland America's Miami page lists Terminals D, at 1435 N. Cruise Blvd., and E, at 1265 N. Cruise Blvd., which the county lists as Carnival's, so your cruise documents decide.

26 sailings from Miami, $449 to $4,589 per person. See Holland America's Miami sailings.

Princess

Princess sells two packages. Princess Plus has "15 drinks per day (up to $15 each)" and Wi-Fi on one device per guest; Princess Premier has drinks "Unlimited (up to $20 each)" and Wi-Fi on four devices. On November 14, 2026 Plus was $70 per person per day bought before the cruise or $75 on board, and Premier $105 or $110, on most ships.

Both packages include crew appreciation, which Princess priced on the same date at $18 per person per day for interior, oceanview and balcony staterooms, $19 for mini-suites, cabanas and Reserve Collection staterooms, and $20 for suites. Its Miami page names "the all-new Celebration Key" and no terminal. Princess says to "check your Princess travel documents for your assigned terminal before heading out."

42 sailings from Miami, $574 to $3,228 per person. See Princess's Miami sailings.

Virgin Voyages

"Every Virgin Voyages sailing is an experience created exclusively for adults," Virgin says, and "the minimum age to book and sail is 18 years old." It is not the only line from Miami with that rule: Oceania has taken only guests 18 and older on new bookings since January 7, 2026. Virgin's own beach club is the Beach Club at Bimini, where the pool party is included on most of its Caribbean itineraries.

Since October 7, 2025, Virgin says every fare includes "unlimited WiFi, soda, still and sparkling water" along with dining and group fitness, but "Service gratuities appear as a separate line item." Virgin puts them at $20 per person per night prepaid or $22 on board, read on November 14, 2026. The county lists Terminal V, opened in 2022, as Virgin's, and Virgin adds that "Terminal locations are subject to change", so check your voyage details before sailing.

235 sailings from Miami, $357 to $2,064 per person. See Virgin Voyages' Miami sailings.

Which luxury cruise lines sail from Miami?

Explora Journeys, Oceania, Regent Seven Seas, Seabourn and Silversea. All five include Wi-Fi in the fare, and all five either include gratuities or, in Seabourn's case, say tipping is "neither required, nor expected". The luxury cruises guide compares what each fare includes.

Explora Journeys

Explora calls itself "the luxury ocean travel brand of the MSC Group". Every journey includes, in its words, "Unlimited beverages including fine wines, champagne, premium spirits, specialty coffees, teas and soft drinks" and "Onboard gratuities", with high-speed Wi-Fi and nine culinary experiences.

Explora says port and terminal details are on your e-ticket, and none of its pages read for this guide names a Miami terminal.

62 sailings from Miami, $3,395 to $43,750 per person. See Explora Journeys' Miami sailings.

Oceania

Oceania has been adults-only for new bookings since January 7, 2026. Its announcement said that from that date "the cruise line will exclusively welcome guests aged 18 and older for all new reservations for future voyages." Bookings made before then that include travelers under 18 are honored. Its Miami page, read in its EU edition, sells a Caribbean of boutique ports and out-of-the-way islands.

Oceania's fares include all specialty restaurants, shipboard gratuities and Wi-Fi. On bookings made on or after September 17, 2025, guests also choose between wine and beer at lunch and dinner or a shore excursion credit of up to $600 per guest. None of Oceania's pages read for this guide names a Miami terminal.

75 sailings from Miami, $1,799 to $88,799 per person. See Oceania's Miami sailings.

Regent Seven Seas

Regent's latest description of its fare, from May 8, 2026, includes "unlimited shore excursions in every port of call", "Starlink WiFi access", "pre-paid gratuities" and "valet laundry service". Since July 1, 2024 it has sold two fares, and only the Ultimate All-Inclusive Fare adds round-trip flights and coach transfers between the airport and the ship.

The county says Terminal J serves small vessels and luxury cruises. The only Regent page naming a Miami terminal that I found is for a January 2025 voyage, which checked in at Terminal J, so treat your documents as the authority.

49 sailings from Miami, $4,912 to $107,499 per person. See Regent's Miami sailings.

Seabourn

Seabourn's Caribbean page sums up its pitch in one line: "Journey round-trip from Miami with no flights between you and the islands." On board, "Tipping is neither required, nor expected", "All dining venues are complimentary", and Wi-Fi with unlimited minutes over SpaceX's Starlink is included. Its Ventures by Seabourn shore excursions are optional extras.

None of Seabourn's pages read for this guide names a Miami terminal.

19 sailings from Miami, $3,439 to $77,999 per person. See Seabourn's Miami sailings.

Silversea

"We are the only cruise line worldwide to include butler service in every suite and category," Silversea says. Its All-Inclusive fare covers champagne, spirits and up to 50 wines from the Silversea Cellar, onboard gratuities, port taxes and fees, and up to six dining options, but not flights or shore excursions, which you buy separately. The All-Inclusive Plus fare adds a shore excursion credit on Classic voyages.

None of Silversea's pages read for this guide names a Miami terminal. The county's January 2026 release on the new Terminal G quotes Royal Caribbean Group's chief executive naming Silversea among the brands it is for.

33 sailings from Miami, $5,200 to $12,800 per person. See Silversea's Miami sailings.
