In 2026, while there is only one "official" primary cruise port, PortMiami (Dante B. Fascell Port of Miami), it is so massive and geographically distinct that it functions like two separate hubs. The port is located on Dodge Island and features two primary "sides" or "banks" of terminals. The "North Side" (Terminals A, B, C, D, E, F, G) is the iconic "Cruise Capital of the World" skyline, home to massive dedicated terminals for Royal Caribbean (Terminal A), Norwegian (Terminal B), and Disney (Terminal C). The "South Side" (Terminal J) is a smaller, more intimate terminal primarily used by "boutique" and luxury lines like Oceania, Regent Seven Seas, and Azamara. Additionally, in 2026, some smaller river-cruise style vessels and private yacht-charters depart from the "Miami River" docks or Coconut Grove, but these are not commercial cruise ports in the traditional sense. For the 2026 traveler, the "two ports" confusion often arises from the proximity of Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, which is only 25 miles north; many people fly into Miami but actually depart from Fort Lauderdale, so always check your "Cruise Documents" carefully to ensure you head to Dodge Island (Miami) or Eller Drive (Fort Lauderdale).
