Pre cruise things to do in Miami

Arriving a day early? Some of Miami's best stops are right across the bay from the cruise terminals.

Near the port, downtown

• Bayside Marketplace, the waterfront shops and restaurants on Biscayne Bay across from the port.
• Bayfront Park, the bayfront park next to Bayside.
• Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) and the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science in Museum Park on the bay.
• Kaseya Center, home of the Miami Heat, on Biscayne Boulevard.

Short ride

• Wynwood Walls, outdoor murals in the Wynwood arts district.
• Little Havana and Calle Ocho for Cuban food and coffee.
• South Beach and the Art Deco district across the MacArthur Causeway.
• Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, a bayfront estate in Coconut Grove.

Catch a game

If your sail date is flagged on the departures table, the night before may be a Heat home game, a fun pre cruise night if you plan around the traffic.

Hours, prices and tickets change, so check before you go.
