Your Terminal
Terminal V (Virgin Voyages)
Drop-off: You can't miss Terminal V — it's the striking three-story building with geometric, palm tree-inspired architecture. Drop off luggage and passengers at the covered entrance. The terminal opened in 2022 and the design is intentionally Instagram-worthy.

- The terminal design reflects Virgin's modern, adult-focused brand — expect a different vibe than traditional cruise terminals
- The 100,000 square foot facility is LEED Gold certified
- Remember: Virgin Voyages is 18+ only, so the terminal atmosphere is geared toward adults
