Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings and Miami-Dade County have reached an agreement to amend and restate a cruise terminal agreement including the construction of a new Cruise Terminal B at PortMiami.
The agreement guarantees the county a minimum of 1.3 million Norwegian Cruise Line passenger moves annually. This Minimum Annual Guarantee is expected to generate approximately $24 million in gross revenues starting Fiscal Year 2018, with an increase of 3% percent annually throughout the life of the agreement.
With the increase in cruise calls, approximately 155 new direct full-time jobs will be created.
