The Port of Miami (tel: (305) 371 7678; fax: (305) 347 4843; web site: www.metro-dade.com/portofmiami) is the world's busiest cruise port - the 'Cruise Capital of the World'. It serves more than three million passengers a year and handles more 'megaships' (vessels capable of transporting 2000-plus passengers) than any other port in the world. Located near the MacArthur Causeway, the port is home to 18 cruise ships, but has very basic facilities.

Cruise services:
Cunard, Norwegian Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean International are among several cruise lines operating regularly from the port. Passenger terminals are located on Dodge Island.

Transport to the city:
Bus 3, 16, 48, 95, C or S go from Bayside (Biscayne Boulevard) to downtown Miami.
