The Fort Lauderdale based cruise line has partnered up with Miami-based architecture and design firm Arquitectonica to bring the vision to reality. The terminal has been inspired by Miami itself using tropical elements like sizzling sun, splashing salt and dizzying winds.
The terminal roof will resemble a palm tree grove with pockets of natural light flowing into the building during those constant sunny Miami days. At night the roof will beam out lights including the Virgin Voyages logo.
The Virgin cruise terminal will be two-stories high and feature storm proof glass. There will be palm trees and lush landscaping to compliment the building. There will also be a dedicated VIP drop off location along with a ridesharing area and for provisions.
The Virgin Voyages Miami cruise terminal is expected to be completed ready for when Scarlet Lady begins offering week-long Caribbean cruises. The first ever Virgin cruise ship will also offer an extended call to Havana, Cuba on select sailings.
