Port Miami Beats Earlier Record By Welcoming 10 Millionth Cruise Passenger On September 14

Port Miami proudly announces it welcomed its 10 millionth cruise passenger on September 14. With two weeks left in the 2026 Fiscal Year, which runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, Port Miami has already surpassed its previous fiscal year record of 8,564,225 cruise passengers. This marks a milestone in the highest annual passenger volume in the port’s history and further solidifies its position as the Cruise Capital of the World®.

This achievement reflects strong global demand for Miami-based sailings, ongoing investments in world-class cruise terminals, and the continued expansion of cruise line offerings.

Reaching 10 million passengers reflects our focus on innovation, efficiency and superior passenger experience, as we continue to modernize Port Miami’s infrastructure and expand our capacity for future growth.”

The port’s modern infrastructure, including recently completed and upgraded terminals capable of accommodating the largest cruise ships in the world, played a key role in achieving this historic milestone. These facilities are designed to improve passenger flow, streamline embarkation and debarkation processes, and enhance the overall guest experience.

Passenger traffic supports hundreds of thousands of local jobs across tourism, hospitality, retail, transportation and maritime sectors. Each cruise call contributes to regional economic activity through hotel stays, dining, entertainment, and local transportation, injecting billions of dollars annually into the county’s economy.
