Alternate Airports:

In addition to Miami International Airport (MIA), many cruisers use Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport (FLL), located about 25 miles north of PortMiami with a typical drive time of roughly 45 minutes under normal traffic. FLL often offers competitive airfares and a wide selection of domestic flights.

For international travelers or guests planning pre- or post-cruise stays at Orlando’s world-famous theme parks, Orlando International Airport (MCO) is also an option. Although located approximately 230 miles from PortMiami, the Brightline high-speed rail now connects Orlando directly to downtown Miami. From the Miami Brightline Station, it’s only a short taxi or rideshare ride to the cruise terminals, making MCO a more viable alternative than ever before.
