Miami is known to be the "Cruise capital of the world" due to its proximity to the Caribbean and Latin America. Actually more than 5 million cruise passengers travel through the Miami cruise port every year - more than any other port in the world. Miami port is only 8 miles east of Miami International Airport and a driving distance to Miami Beach. This makes the port a suitable launching pad for travelers stopping by for transit to or from cruise or those planning an extended trip.

Miami was started as a small community of citrus farmers. With the extension of the railway, many people flocked to the settlement due to its beautiful climate and coastal position. As a result, the town experienced tremendous growth.

During the early part of the 20th century, hotel magnates saw potentials of the Atlantic Ocean beaches of Miami Beach and started constructing the iconic Art Deco hotels found in South Beach.
