Miami And Cruises From Fort Lauderdale

Say the word Miami and so many things spring to mind.

White sandy beaches. Cuban cuisine. Calle Ocho. Little Havana. South Beach. Amazing weather. The list goes on. Considered by many to be the cruise capital of the world, Miami has so much to recommend.

Many will think of the fabulous art deco on Ocean Drive first. The pastel-colored, impeccably preserved buildings that line Miami’s seafront are an architectural wonder. Offering visitors a glimpse of the city in its 1920s and 1930s heyday, these iconic apartment blocks were almost destroyed in the 1970s by a group of over-enthusiastic developers. Thankfully, a group of activists lobbied to keep them intact and thanks to them, the Miami skyline stayed the same.

For those who want to shop up a storm, then look no further than Lincoln Road. The wide pedestrian street is lined with shops and eateries and we bet even the most jaded shopaholic could find something they like. If you prefer your shopping with a view, then Bayside Marketplace is your answer. Located on Biscayne Bay in the heart of Downtown Miami, visitors of Bayside Marketplace can experience a taste of authentic Miami—quite literally. The city is known for its international and Cuban influences, so expect a plethora of both dining and shopping options when you visit. Go hungry!

Miami is a great destination for a couple of days before or after your cruise from Fort Lauderdale. The cities are just an hour apart so you can grab a little Miami Vice before embarking your Silversea cruise!

DESTINATION HIGHLIGHTS

FORT LAUDERDALE

Miles of sandy beaches, lively outdoor events, and a charming web of waterways help to make Fort Lauderdale a relaxed, vacation capital of Florida. The excitement is palpable as cruise ships and gleaming yachts gather in the harbor ahead of adventures and luxury journeys across the waves. Soak up the relaxed atmosphere in the canal-laced ‘Venice of America,’ as you enjoy big label shopping on Las Olas Boulevard, or visit fancy restaurants and bustling art galleries. For a wilder experience, the swampy wetlands of the Everglades sprawl away nearby. Fort Lauderdale Beach is a lively stretch of sand, bordered by palm trees, and sprinkled with crowds enjoying the Sunshine State’s generous weather. The charming promenade of red-brick tiles extends right along the beach’s length and rumbles with passing rollerbladers and cyclists. Flick across the waves while paragliding, or relax with a coffee or a margarita in a beachfront bar, as volleyball games play out in front of you.
