Parking Tip: Park in the Bayside Garage — it’s the closest and easiest option for families.

A Learning Adventure: Bridges, Architecture & Miami’s History

Kids love pointing out bridges, spotting wildlife, and hearing fascinating stories about Miami’s transformation into one of the world’s most vibrant cities.

Downtown Miami & The Story of Brickell Key

As your cruise passes Downtown Miami, families experience one of America’s most beautiful skylines.



Brickell Key, created in the early 1900s, is a man-made island that evolved into one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in Miami.

Your family will enjoy:

• The shimmering Brickell skyline
