On January 8, 2026, PortMiami hosted a groundbreaking for the future new Cruise Terminal G. Guests in attendance included Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners, PortMiami Director and CEO Hydi Webb, and Royal Caribbean Group Chairman and CEO Jason Liberty.
Once completed, the state-of-the-art cruise terminal will be built to meet LEED certification, include a multi-level parking garage, and have the capacity to accommodate up to 7,000 passengers, meaning it will have the needed infrastructure to welcome the largest cruise ships–the Icon-class specifically.
Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava stated, “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.”
Funding for the $345 million Cruise Terminal G will be provided through a partnership between Royal Caribbean Group and Miami-Dade County. The single-berth terminal will serve Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises, and Silversea ships. However, it will utilize the latest advancements in cruise terminal construction, energy efficiency, and a unique user experience for the most efficient embarkation and disembarkation.
Royal Caribbean Group Chairman and CEO, Jason Liberty, said, “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.”
Cruise Terminal G is expected to be completed in late 2027. In addition to creating jobs and boosting the economy, the terminal will add value to PortMiami’s current infrastructure as well as help secure the port’s position as the Cruise Capital of the World.
