From Miami to St. Croix

Miami: the city where we roll out the red carpet. Bustling and colorful, edgy and artsy, our home port is a destination in and of itself.

With a sleek, modern design that blends into the surrounding cityscape, Terminal V is a sparkling facility that makes boarding a breeze. Perched on the Port of Miami’s northwest side, its impressive 100,000-square-foot space is large enough to accommodate efficient boarding for all our Sailors, with separate areas for luggage drop-off, and quick boarding to experience smooth sailings for cruises from Miami.

Terminal V is located at 718 N. Cruise Blvd, Miami, FL 33132. In the Sailor app, select an arrival time slot so we know when to welcome you with open arms. (To avoid wait times, we advise you not to arrive before your scheduled time.)

With a festival-like lineup featuring original, first-to-sea productions, extraordinary pop-up acts, and immersive experiences, the entertainment you’ll experience on board is something you’ve never seen before. It’s wild. It’s thought-provoking. It’s a full-on extravaganza. And it couldn’t be anything else. Digging deep into our musical roots, we’ve collaborated with the world’s most-talked-about directors, choreographers, and artists to create the live entertainment only a Virgin brand could.

Tucked between the Cordillera Mountains and Atlantic coast, Puerto Plata embodies geographical duality at its best. A day here can include vegging out on the snow white beaches of Playa Dorada, or hiking through the jungle to the 27 waterfalls of Damajagua and careening down via natural slides. Or you can jump right in. We won't tell you how to live.

San Juan's picturesque cobblestone streets, plazas and chapels reflect its Spanish heritage. But the second oldest city in the Americas also boasts fine beaches, lush rainforests, verdant mountainsides, imposing forts and a lovely tropical climate. Ships will dock at this port.
