PortMiami is home to some of the world’s most exciting and modern cruise vessels. Two new cruise lines joined the fleet in the winter of 2012: Disney Cruise Line and Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
The Disney Wonder began sailing from PortMiami in December 2012 with four- and five-night itineraries to the Bahamas and Western Caribbean. This is the first time a Disney ship will operate from a South Florida port.
In the fall of 2012, Regent Seven Seas Cruises joined its sister company, Oceania Cruises, at PortMiami. Both the Seven Seas Mariner and Seven Seas Navigator will sail a series of longer cruises to the Caribbean, South America, and Yucatan Peninsula.
Last year, PortMiami welcomed more than 4 million cruise passengers. Miami continues to be the departure destination of choice for cruises to the Bahamas, the Caribbean, Mexico and other exciting destinations. The 2013 cruise season features six new ships in the line-up including some of the world’s most luxurious and innovative vessels.
