Miami, the “Magic City”: that's the nickname given to this fascinating Florida metropolis. As soon as you set foot here, you know you've come to a special place. Miami is so many things all in one: a melting pot of art and culture, a tropical paradise with enchanting beaches and a climate that allows you to dive into its crystal-clear waters all year round, and one of the world capitals of nightlife and shopping. The overnight stay included in the itinerary of MSC Poesia's World Cruise 2024 allows travellers to fully immerse themselves in the ambience of Miami and experience all the excitement it has to offer.

 

One of the most iconic spots in this city, along with Biscayne Bay and Wynwood, is undoubtedly Miami Beach. Walking along Ocean Drive, you really get the feeling of being on the set of one of the many TV series and movies filmed here: on one side the majestic ocean stretches into the distance, while the other side plays host to a series of designer shops and restaurants, clubs and discos, elegant Art Deco houses from the 1920s and some of the city's many spectacular celebrity mansions.

 

For shopping, it's time to head to Lincoln Road and Dolphin Mall, where flamboyant clothes, hi-tech accessories, luxurious jewellery and Caribbean-themed souvenirs await us. Whether you prefer shopping or eating out, there really is something for everyone and for all budgets. Visitors can enjoy a unique and delicious fusion of tropical, Latin and American flavours. The city's must-try dishes include stone crabs, chicharrón and fish sandwiches, finishing on a sweet note with Key lime pie: condensed milk, eggs and lime on a base of biscuits and butter.

 

Little Havana transports us to the island of Cuba. Calle Ocho is the beating heart of this lively and welcoming community, with spectacular murals, monuments that recall Cuban history and bodeguitas, where you can dance to the rhythm of the Cuban sound.

 

Every moment in the Magic City will leave you speechless: it's a show that runs 24 hours a day, and everyone on board MSC Poesia's World Cruise 2024 can be the star.
