PortMiami Achieves Historic Milestone with 10 Cruise Ships Docking on February 8

PortMiami, a key player in the cruise industry, has recently achieved a remarkable milestone by hosting 10 cruise ships at once on February 8, 2025. This unprecedented event marked a record high for the port, which welcomed approximately 68,000 passengers in a single day, continuing its streak of impressive traffic that saw over 8.2 million passengers in the previous fiscal year.

Among the cruise ships that docked were notable vessels from various cruise lines, including Carnival Cruise Line’s Carnival Magic and Carnival Sunrise, Holland America’s ms Zaandam, MSC Cruises’ MSC Seascape, Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Escape and Norwegian Gem, Oceania Cruises’ Sirena, Royal Caribbean International’s Icon of the Seas and Independence of the Seas, as well as Virgin Voyages’ Scarlet Lady.
