Where architecture meets imagination

Play Video about Norwegian Cruise Line PortMiami Terminal B construction 3D rendering

When you look at a building like the Norwegian Cruise Line Terminal B in PortMiami, it’s hard to imagine its complexity before it exists in real life. That’s where high-end 3D animation makes all the difference.

At Virtual Image & Animation, our mission is to transform architectural and engineering designs into visual stories that inspire, engage, and communicate. For this flagship project, we created a cinematic animation that reveals the scale, elegance, and innovation of a terminal built to welcome ships carrying more than 5,000 passengers.

Why 3D Animation Matters for Projects Like This

  • Visualization before construction

    Stakeholders, investors, and the public can experience the design long before the first steel is erected.

  • Clarity in complexity

    The Norwegian Cruise Line Terminal features massive curved trusses, intricate roof geometry, and unique glass façades. Animation translates that technical detail into something understandable and impactful.

  • Marketing & storytelling power

    Beyond engineering, 3D animation builds excitement and brand value, turning architecture into a shareable experience.

About the Project

The terminal, spanning 166,500 square feet and built with 7,400 tons of steel, is designed as a world-class gateway for modern cruise travel. Our animation showcases:

  • Aerial perspectives highlighting the scale and location over the water

  • Dynamic sequences showing interior passenger flows and architectural details

  • Photorealistic rendering of light, glass, and structural steel elements

  • A cinematic approach that balances technical accuracy with artistic storytelling

The Impact

By blending art and engineering, our animation became a powerful tool for architects, engineers, and the client team to communicate vision, align stakeholders, and generate anticipation for one of the most iconic cruise terminals in the world.
