A luxury fare from Miami can look high next to a mainstream cruise, but it can include things a mainstream line charges for separately: gratuities, drinks, Wi-Fi, specialty restaurants and, on some fares, shore excursions or flights. The only fair comparison is like for like.

This guide sets out what Regent Seven Seas, Silversea, Seabourn, Explora Journeys, Oceania and Azamara said their fares included on November 14, 2026, taken from each line's own pages. Azamara is in the comparison because its fare also bundles drinks and gratuities. Each line's Miami sailings and starting fares follow, filled in from this site's schedule on every build.

Do luxury cruises from Miami include flights and shore excursions?

Only some fares do. Regent includes unlimited shore excursions on both of its fares but flights only on the Ultimate All-Inclusive Fare. Silversea adds an excursion credit on All-Inclusive Plus, Oceania lets guests pick an excursion credit, and Seabourn, Explora and Azamara do not list excursions as included.

Regent Seven Seas. Since July 1, 2024, new reservations choose between the All-Inclusive Cruise Fare and the Ultimate All-Inclusive Fare. On the first you arrange your own flights and transfers. The Ultimate fare adds round-trip flights in the class you choose, coach transfers between the airport and the ship, and, as announced in May 2024, a chauffeur credit of up to $500 per suite, or $250 per guest. Regent's inclusions page also lists a one-night pre-cruise hotel for Concierge Suites and higher.
Silversea. All-Inclusive Plus adds a shore excursion credit on Classic voyages, "based on the length and region of your voyage", and a fully refundable deposit. On the standard All-Inclusive fare you buy flights, hotels, transfers and shore excursions separately.
Oceania. On bookings made on or after September 17, 2025, each guest picks one perk: wine and beer by the glass at lunch and dinner, or a shore excursion credit of up to $600 per guest.
Explora Journeys. Anthology is "Not part of the inclusive culinary experiences", with a tasting menu at EUR 165 per person, and wines from The Cellar cost from about EUR or USD 15 to 20 a glass, on Explora's page on November 14, 2026.
Seabourn. Ventures by Seabourn shore excursions and the spa and wellness program cost extra.
Azamara. Its always-included list covers drinks and gratuities but not Wi-Fi or shore excursions.

How much are luxury cruises from Miami?

The table gives each line's sailings from Miami on this site's schedule, its starting fares and its lowest starting fare per night, per person, taxes and fees included, read on November 14, 2026. Each line's page lists its sailings by date.

Line	Sailings from Miami	Starting fares	Lowest per night
Regent Seven Seas	49	$4,912 to $107,499	$351
Silversea	33	$5,200 to $12,800	$427
Seabourn	19	$3,439 to $77,999	$300
Explora Journeys	62	$3,395 to $43,750	$442
Oceania	75	$1,799 to $88,799	$211
Azamara	18	$1,739 to $63,339	$145

A lower starting fare is not always the cheaper trip. On November 14, 2026, Royal Caribbean's gratuities were $18.50 per guest per day in most staterooms, Norwegian's service charge was $20.00 per person per day for Club Balcony Suite and below, and Princess's Plus package, with drinks, Wi-Fi and crew appreciation, was $70 per person per day bought before the cruise. All six fares above already cover gratuities, or in Seabourn's case expect no tips, and five of them include drinks.

To compare like for like, list what each fare includes from the table above, then price the same things on the other line for the same dates and the same kind of cabin. The cruise lines guide has every line's gratuities and packages as published on November 14, 2026.

Are luxury cruises from Miami adults-only?

Oceania's are, for bookings made 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", and that bookings made earlier that include travelers under 18 will be honored. For the other luxury lines, check the line's own age policy before you book.

Virgin Voyages, covered in the cruise lines guide, also sails with adults only: "the minimum age to book and sail is 18 years old."

Which PortMiami terminal do luxury cruises use?

Miami-Dade County says Terminal J, the only cruise terminal on the port's south side, "is designed to cater to small vessels and luxury cruises." Azamara's Miami port document lists Terminal J, 1120 Caribbean Way, for its Miami sailings, and Regent checked in a January 2025 voyage there.

Explora puts the terminal on your e-ticket, and I found no current page from Regent, Oceania, Seabourn or Silversea that names one. Ships can move, so use the terminal on your cruise documents. The county maps Terminal J to Garages J and K, at 1122 and 1124 Caribbean Way, and its parking page gave no rate for either on November 14, 2026. The parking guide covers the rest of the port's parking.
