Cruise Terminal AA is MSC Cruises' PortMiami complex, operational for the 2025-2026 season, which also serves its luxury brand Explora Journeys. PortMiami is the cruise capital of the world, and while many fly in, a large number of Floridians drive down and need somewhere secure to leave the car.
Most cruisers reach Miami by car. From Miami Beach, for example, it is about 5 miles, about 15 minutes, via the MacArthur Causeway to the Port Boulevard bridge. See the Miami Beach to Miami route or the Miami port overview for more drive markets.
Ships that typically use Cruise Terminal AA include:
On-site parking at PortMiami runs about $25 a day at most garages and $35 a day at the MSC (AA) and Norwegian (B) garages, with Royal Caribbean's Garage A priced separately, while private off-site lots can run as low as about $8 to $15 a day before taxes and fees. PortMiami garages charge for each day your car is parked, counting your drop-off and return day, and take credit or cash but not debit cards. On a full sailing day the closest spaces go first, so a guaranteed reserved spot near the terminal is worth locking in.
