Miami Dinner Cruises

The beautiful coastal city of Miami is known as the 'Cruise Capital of the World'. Not everyone wants to go away on a long cruise - but they still want to experience the beauty of the Florida coast. Dinner cruises are a fun and romantic (if you want it to be!) way of enjoying the luxury of a cruise without the financial or time commitments of other cruises.

What Types of Miami Dinner Cruises are there?

There are all sorts of different Miami dinner cruises departing throughout the year. There are several generic ones that appeal to the masses as well as more specialized ones.

Throughout the year there are specialty themed cruises such as Fourth of July, Christmas and New Year cruises. These tend to book up quite quickly and it is important to book your tickets in advance. Dinner cruises are a fantastic way to celebrate a special holiday and can offer you unrestricted views of fireworks over the Miami skyline.

Private dinner cruises are also popular - particularly for birthdays and weddings. There are both small boats and larger boats to cater for parties of varying numbers. Many people just want some of their close friends whereas others may have dozens of people on board! You will usually have the option to choose the cuisine on your private dinner cruises, and drink packages are also available.

Some Miami dinner cruises will offer a buffet dinner whereby you help yourself to a range of food they have on offer. There will usually be something to cater for all tastes- however it's always important to enquire if you have any specific dietary needs. Other Miami dinner cruises have a sit-down dinner and are much more formal. The menus onboard these dinner cruises will vary, and once again always enquire to ensure you are not disappointed on the day.

Not all Miami dinner cruises only offer you dinner and stunning views. Some of the most popular Miami dinner cruises also have a range of other entertainment to ensure you are kept entertained all night long! Dancing cruises are very popular, and once again there are different types to suit different music tastes and age groups. Cabaret dinner cruises are popular, and include a fun and exciting show full of bright colors, lively music and spectacular dancers, singers and magicians!

The list is truly endless, so always shop around to find the perfect Miami dinner cruise for you.

How Much do Miami Dinner Cruises Cost?

You can also choose your type of Miami dinner cruise according to your budget. While there are luxury dinner cruises that will set you back several hundred dollars per person, there are also those better catered for smaller budgets. No matter what you pay for your cruise, you will still get the same fabulous views of Southern Florida and beyond as you are sailing!

Different prices may also reflect the amount of food and drinks you will receive while on board. Many, but not all, Miami boat cruises offer a full open bar included in the ticket price. If you do not plan on drinking then avoid these cruises as you will be paying for products that you won't use.

There are plenty of cruises that simply include the price of the food and entertainment and drinks are paid for separately or are optional.

Buffet dinner cruises tend to be the least inexpensive of the cruises, however price will vary depending on the quality and quantity of food provided. As we mentioned before, many Miami dinner cruises also offer entertainment as part of the package, which will also be reflected in the price of your cruise.

Where do Miami Dinner Cruises Go?

Miami dinner cruises generally only last a few hours (usually five hours maximum but an average of three), therefore there isn't much time to travel particularly far. This in some ways is better as you will usually stay within viewing distance of the gorgeous Miami skyline.

Many Miami dinner cruises cruise along and around the Biscayne Bay and will offer you the best views possible of the coastline.
