PortMiami Breaks Ground on Royal Caribbean's Cruise Terminal G
Miami-Dade County and Royal Caribbean Group broke ground on a $345 million single-berth cruise terminal able to process about 7,000 passengers per ship call, with a multi-level garage and a ground-level intermodal hub, sized for Icon-class ships. Demolition of the terminal that stood on the site began in July 2025 and the new complex is slated for completion in late 2027.
- Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, the Board of County Commissioners, PortMiami Director and CEO Hydi Webb and Royal Caribbean Group Chairman and CEO Jason Liberty led the groundbreaking ceremony for the future Cruise Terminal G at PortMiami, in a release dated 8 January 2026[1]
- "With a total investment of $345 million, this world-class complex will be dedicated to Royal Caribbean Group while maintaining multi-vessel functionality", funded through a partnership between Miami-Dade County and Royal Caribbean Group[1]
- It is a design-build single-berth terminal by Lemartec-NV2A Joint Venture with Perez & Perez Architects & Planners, "designed to meet LEED certification and the capacity to accommodate up to 7,000 passengers"[1]
- The complex adds a multi-level parking garage, an intermodal facility "and other critical infrastructure to support large cruise ships such as the Icon-class vessels"[1]
- "The future Cruise Terminal G is slated for completion in late 2027"[1]
- Jason Liberty called it "a major investment in Miami's future" that will "deliver a smarter, faster, more seamless experience for guests sailing with our industry-leading brands: Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises, and Silversea"[1]
- PortMiami is described as "the Cruise Capital of the World® and Cargo Gateway of the Americas", contributing $61 billion annually to the local economy and supporting more than 340,000 jobs[1]
