MSC Cruises has officially inaugurated the MSC Miami Cruise Terminal at PortMiami (Florida USA) on February 8th, positioning it as one of the most significant developments in maritime infrastructure.

The terminal, which welcomed its first vessel - MSC Seascape - can accommodate up to 3 ships simultaneously and process as many as 36,000 guests daily.

The facility is a collaborative project between MSC, PortMiami, and Miami-Dade County. It was designed by Arquitectonica and constructed by Fincantieri Infrastructure.

In 2025, MSC plans to homeport 4 ships at the new Miami terminal - Seascape, Divina, Seaside, and MSC World America (debuting in April).

MSC’s luxury brand Explora Journeys will also utilize the terminal for its sailings.

Construction on the terminal commenced in March 2022, marking a major milestone in enhancing PortMiami’s capacity to serve the global cruise industry.
