Step Into the Future: MSC Cruises Launches World’s Largest Cruise Terminal in Miami
Imagine arriving at your cruise terminal, skipping long lines, dropping your bags in seconds, walking through facial recognition checkpoints, and boarding your ship—stress-free. That’s now a reality at MSC Cruises’ brand-new flagship terminal in Miami, opened April 5, 2025.
Spanning nearly half a million square feet, this state-of-the-art space redefines pre-cruise convenience and luxury. Designed by Arquitectonica, the MSC Miami Cruise Terminal boasts smart technology at every turn, from online check-in and digital boarding passes to a biometric embarkation system that gets you from curb to ship faster than ever.
With capacity to process 36,000 guests daily, the terminal features:
*A sleek six-story parking garage with 2,400+ spots
*Easy bag drop zones directly in the garage
*18 biometric face scanners and 22 e-gates for lightning-fast check-in
*A bright, glass-filled interior overlooking Biscayne Bay
*A private lounge with premium drinks for MSC Yacht Club guests
Before your cruise even begins, you’ll be treated to an immersive experience—including a massive 10,816-square-foot digital art installation that reacts to real-time ocean data, a one-of-a-kind public artwork commissioned via the Miami-Dade Art in Public Places program.
And the real showstopper? This terminal is the first in the world able to host three ships simultaneously, including MSC Cruises’ newest star, MSC World America, launching her inaugural Caribbean season from this very port.
Whether you’re a seasoned cruiser or setting sail for the first time, the new MSC Miami Cruise Terminal promises an embarkation experience like no other.
