Miami-Dade County’s PortMiami has been named “Best North American Homeport” by Cruise Critic. The seaport is receiving a 2023 Editors’ Picks Award for its commitment to excellence in servicing the global cruise industry and providing a world-class experience for passengers and cruise lines.
“This award is a testament to PortMiami’s unwavering dedication to innovation and customer service, solidifying its position as the ‘Cruise Capital of the World,’” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine-Cava. “I congratulate PortMiami director and CEO Hydi Webb and her team on keeping our seaport in the forefront of the cruise industry.”
PortMiami is a hub for international cruise travel that connects passengers to some of the most popular destinations in the Caribbean and beyond. With state-of-the-art cruise terminals and dedication to customer satisfaction, PortMiami is the industry leader in operational efficacy and passenger experience.
