There’s nothing quite like starting your Virgin Voyages adventure from Port Miami’s stunning Terminal V. Sleek, modern, and perfectly designed for a smooth boarding process, Terminal V sets the tone for the stylish getaway ahead.
Terminal V Address:
718 N Cruise Blvd
Miami, FL 33132
Getting to the Port
You have two great airport options: Miami International Airport (MIA) or Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL).
- From MIA: You’re about a 20-minute ride to the port.
- From FLL: Expect closer to 35–45 minutes.
Whether you grab an Uber, Lyft, or taxi, it’s a breeze. Once you arrive, you’ll notice that the port doesn’t open until 9:00 AM — so there’s no need to rush.
Drop Off and Explore
When you get there, drop off your luggage with the friendly porters. Before you hand it over, use luggage tag holders to secure your Virgin Voyages luggage tag to your suitcase — this helps protect the tag from getting ripped or wet during handling.
Then, if you have time to kill before check-in, you’ve got options:
- Hop on the free downtown Miami shuttle.
- Or grab an Uber/taxi for about $5–$10 per person.
Downtown Miami is full of great coffee spots, brunch restaurants, and bayside views to get you in vacation mode.
Boarding Like a VIP
Virgin Voyages runs boarding like clockwork. You’ll be lined up based on your assigned check-in time from the Virgin Voyages app — so make sure you’ve checked in ahead of time to lock in your preferred slot. Once it’s your turn, you’ll breeze right through security and step onboard.
The Grand Entrance
Virgin knows how to make an entrance. From the moment you step onto the ship, you’re greeted with music, smiles, and that unmistakable “Virgin energy.” Take a moment to soak it all in before heading to your cabin.
First Things First
Once you’ve checked out your cabin — maybe even snapped a hammock selfie if you’ve got a Sea Terrace — it’s time to eat. Unlike traditional cruises, there’s no buffet. Instead, you’ll find incredible eateries open for embarkation day, from The Galley’s fresh selections to specialty spots like Razzle Dazzle or The Dock.
Don’t Miss the Sail Away Party
As the ship prepares to leave Miami, head up to the pool deck for Virgin’s iconic Sail Away Party. The music’s pumping, the crew’s dancing, and — here’s the best part — free champagne flows for a limited time to toast the start of your voyage. Pro tip: Get there early so you don’t miss your bubbly moment.
From there, the open seas are yours to explore — and with Virgin Voyages, you’re in for one unforgettable ride.
