Cruise Ship

One frame in An Extended Look looks east from the Interstate 404 exit ramp across the water to Vice City Port, where a white cruise liner sits at its berth with a red logo on the funnel and container cranes further along the quay. A Benefactor Schafter leads the shot and a white SUV passes the other way, which puts the ship at about the scale of the real liners that line up at PortMiami.

Rockstar calls the port the cruise ship capital of the world in its location copy, so a berthed liner is set dressing that matches the brief. The stacked balcony decks, the forward-set bridge and the single raked funnel point to Royal Caribbean’s Voyager class in the community reading. Nothing suggests the ship is pilotable; it belongs on this list the way the Metromover does, as a vehicle you will see rather than drive.

Only the one sighting so far, in the exit-ramp driving footage of An Extended Look. The Vice City Port page covers the terminals and berths around it.

Voyager of the Seas was the largest passenger ship afloat when it entered service in 1999 and its class introduced the ice rink and the indoor promenade to cruising. Royal Caribbean still bases Voyager-class ships in Florida, so a liner of this shape at a Vice City berth is true to the coast it copies.
