Sailing from Miami: Virgin Voyages' Main US Homeport Guide

Miami is Virgin Voyages' flagship US homeport, and it comes with a real perk: Virgin sails from its own custom terminal — Terminal V — at PortMiami, designed for a faster, friendlier boarding experience.

Getting to Terminal V

Miami International Airport (MIA) is only about 15-25 minutes from PortMiami; Fort Lauderdale (FLL) is roughly 45-60 minutes and often a good fare alternative. A taxi or rideshare from MIA is quick and inexpensive; we can also pre-arrange a transfer so a driver's waiting when you land.

• Parking: on-site garage directly at Terminal V — pre-booking is recommended on busy weekends.

• From the airports: MIA about 15–25 minutes; FLL about 45–60 minutes.

• Arrival: come at your Terminal Arrival Time from the app — Terminal V is Virgin-built, and boarding moves fast when you stick to your slot.

Where the ships sail from Miami

Miami is Virgin's busiest homeport, and it's built for quick escapes. Scarlet Lady sails 4- and 5-night Caribbean getaways from PortMiami year-round — think Key West, Cozumel, and the Dominican Republic — and sister ships join her seasonally for longer Caribbean loops. Nearly every itinerary includes a stop at The Beach Club at Bimini, Virgin's private beach day in the Bahamas, with its pool parties, DJ sets, and turquoise water about an hour off Florida's coast. If you want the shortest path from booking to a beach chair, Miami is it.

On the day

Head to Terminal V at your Terminal Arrival Time — arriving earlier won't get you aboard sooner. Boarding generally begins in the early afternoon. Bring a physical credit card for check-in and keep day-one essentials in your carry-on.

Make a Miami minute of it

Fly in a day early and enjoy the city — South Beach, Little Havana, a walk along the water. It's cheap insurance against travel-day delays and a great start to the trip.
