Royal Caribbean Group has broken ground on the new Terminal G at PortMiami.
The new terminal, slated for completion in late 2027, will be designed to meet LEED certification and will be able to accommodate up to 7,000 passengers. It will include a multi-level parking garage, an intermodal facility and other critical infrastructure to support large cruise ships such as the Icon-class vessels.
The project represents a $345 million investment and will serve Royal Caribbean Group while retaining the ability to accommodate multiple vessels. The single-berth terminal is designed to streamline embarkation and disembarkation, incorporating updated cruise terminal infrastructure along with energy-efficient systems and operational enhancements.
“Cruise Terminal G represents a major investment in Miami’s future. Built with advanced technology and sustainable design, this new facility will deliver a smarter, faster, more seamless experience for guests sailing with our industry-leading brands: Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises and Silversea. It reflects what matters most to us: innovation, collaboration and delivering the world’s best vacations responsibly—while creating jobs and supporting the local economy for years to come,” said Royal Caribbean Group Chairman and CEO Jason Liberty in a media statement.
“This world-class facility will enhance Miami-Dade County’s skyline while marking another milestone in PortMiami’s evolution. Our modern terminals are transforming how we do business and move people, delivering greater efficiency through innovative technology,” added Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava.
City officials say the new terminal’s architecture is intended to complement PortMiami’s evolving skyline and reflect a broader shift toward waterfront developments that strengthen connections between the city and the port. The project expands PortMiami’s terminal footprint and adds capacity to its existing infrastructure, supporting Miami’s role as a leading global cruise hub.
