Virgin Voyages' guide to Miami
Miami
The atmosphere beyond the pier
The picture painted on television — clad with string bikinis, frozen drinks, and catchy 90s songs — doesn’t quite do Miami justice. Sure, South Beach still radiates a gorgeous and colorful electricity not often found on US beaches, but there’s so much more to uncover of Miami’s diverse identity.
Beyond the dock
Hop-On Hop-Off Miami
This tour is perfect for Sailors ending their voyage in Miami with extra time to take in the sights. An audio-guided double-decker bus provides the best views on the Hop On, Hop Off all-inclusive Miami Beach and City loop. Hop on/off in multiple locations for activities like sightseeing in the Art Deco District, taking photos of the murals in trendy Wynwood, grabbing beachfront drinks in South Beach, and more. Your luggage will be kept at Bayfront Park and can be retrieved before you head out.

PORT SWEET PORT
Our PortMiami Terminal
Terminal V, our new 100,000 sq. ft. terminal, is a palm grove inspired design concept developed by Miami-based Arquitectonica. Uniting the energy and style of Miami with nautical nods to the history of sailing, we’re creating a terminal experience with the same incredible ethos as our ships.
VIEW DETAILS
Vacation doesn’t start when the ship slowly pulls away from the dock and out into international waters. It starts the moment you touch down in Miami — a city that even for Americans feels like you’re far from home.
It’s rhythmic, rowdy, and evolving, yet calm and tranquil depending on where you find yourself. Miami can party like Vegas, with beaches like the Caribbean and the backcountry of the Bayou, all with the rich cultural diversity of cities like New York and Houston. The Magic City is not just where your journey takes off from — it’s where it begins.
