USA · Ships call at Miami, Florida
Mild and mostly dry
Miami in January offers pleasant temperatures, with highs around 74°F and comfortable lows near 69°F. Rain is uncommon, with only about 2 rainy days expected across the month, ideal for beach days and shore excursions. Mild and mostly dry.
This is one of the most popular months to visit Miami, so book shore excursions early. The top snorkeling spots and tours sell out fast. Lightweight layers work well: a light cardigan for evenings on deck and breathable tops for port days cover most conditions.

Miami is where more cruises start than anywhere else on our schedule. Ships leave from PortMiami on Dodge Island, across a short causeway from downtown. Most sailings go to the Bahamas and the Caribbean, so many cruisers fly in a day early and spend it in downtown Miami, Little Havana or South Beach.
The average high temperature in Miami during January is 74°F, with a low of 69°F.
Miami typically sees 2 days of rain in January. Mild and mostly dry.
For a January cruise to Miami, you should pack layers, a light jacket, and comfortable walking shoes.
