Virgin Voyages breaks ground on new Miami cruise terminal despite shutdown
In an apparent effort to demonstrate its confidence in the future strength of the cruise industry, Virgin Voyages on Tuesday ‘broke ground’ on its new Miami cruise terminal, the construction of which is already well underway.
Virgin Voyages executives dug into the ground on the construction site of the cruise line’s planned Miami cruise terminal, marking the official ground-breaking, several months after construction began.
The event was a perfect PR opportunity for the world’s newest major cruise line to demonstrate its confidence in the recovery of the industry, while also a necessary tradition that couldn’t be performed earlier due to anti-COVID-19 lockdowns and travel restrictions.
Virgin Voyages shared pictures of the terminal under construction back in December, giving future passengers a first glimpse of the upcoming Terminal V.
