Port of Miami, USA | Cruise Port Guide

Glass towers planted between two waters, white hulls lined up as if on parade, and that bright light that turns colours up a notch: the arrival in Miami sets the tone right away. PortMiami, located on an island in Biscayne Bay facing downtown, has earned the title of cruise capital of the world — nowhere else do so many passengers embark each year. For once, the port of call doesn't lead to a distant harbour: it plunges you into the heart of a metropolis that is itself a crossroads of the Americas.

Getting Your Bearings

Downtown is two or three kilometres from the terminal, a few minutes by taxi; South Beach, across the bay, is about ten kilometres away, roughly a fifteen-minute drive. The whole art of a day in port is to choose two neighbourhoods, no more, and give them time to come alive. The temptation to see everything is paid for in hours of traffic; restraint is rewarded with moments.

South Beach and the Art Deco District

Along Ocean Drive and the neighbouring streets, hundreds of 1930s buildings form the largest concentration of Art Deco architecture in the world: pastel façades, porthole windows, neon lights, fin-shaped awnings. You admire them while strolling, fruit juice in hand, between the Lummus Park promenade and a beach as wide as a boulevard. Lifeguards keep watch from colourful huts that have become as photographed as the buildings; the turquoise, warm ocean does the rest. It is the trump card of the stop, and it is played on foot.

Little Havana, the Cuban Soul

On Calle Ocho, Eighth Street, Miami speaks Spanish, sips cafecitos at the counter and slaps down dominoes in Máximo Gómez Park under the eyes of the regulars. Cigar factories still roll by hand, murals celebrate the music and heroes of exile, and ice cream shops offer mango, guava and soursop. An hour in this neighbourhood says more about the metropolis's identity than any lookout: Miami is the unofficial capital of Latin America, and it draws its vitality from that.

Wynwood, the Open-Air Museum

Former businesses and warehouses in the Wynwood district have been handed over to painters: giant murals cover entire streets, renewed with the seasons, surrounded by galleries, microbreweries and cafés where skateboards serve as transportation. The area lends itself to a free-form stroll of one to two hours, camera charged. Between two murals, you measure how far a metropolis long reduced to its beaches has come.

Museums and Waterfront

Closer to the ship, the bayfront lines up Bayside Marketplace, its lively docks and sightseeing cruise departures, as well as the Pérez Art Museum, whose hanging gardens watch the cruise ships go by. History buffs will salute the Freedom Tower, a 1925 bell tower that became a symbol of the welcome given to Cuban refugees. Come evening, the downtown towers light up in changing colours and the bay turns into a mirror.

Goodbye, Until Next Time

Miami is usually left through the Government Cut channel, between South Beach and the residential islands, to the silent applause of strollers waving to the ships from the point. What stays in your memory is the pink of a neon sign, the sugar of a Cuban coffee, the smell of salt air and sunscreen. The metropolis hid nothing, held nothing back: it gave everything at once, and it will do it all again tomorrow for others.
