The inauguration of MSC Cruises Miami Terminal took place this past weekend, marking a historical day for the largest cruise terminal in the world.
With the new terminal unveiled, the facility provides cruisers with a total biometric experience matching their face to their security document digitally to validate their identity before boarding.
Vision-Box, their biometrics partner, was present to witness such an “outstanding accomplishment” of delivering biometric solutions across their sea ports come to fruition, according to Jean-Francois Lennon, Senior Vice President of Global Business Development Border Authorities, at Amadeus.
“We are extremely proud to be part of this iconic transformative program”.
The Amadeus company has created an end-to-end Seamless Travel platform enabling digital identity verification on embarkation and debarkation as the greater new terminal can cater for higher passenger volumes. Necessary to keep up with more passenger demand and innovation, the 492,678 square foot cruise terminal can process up to 36,000 cruise passengers a day. MSC Cruises’ new flagship liner, MSC World America, lives at the home port, PortMiami.
After biometric verification, there are 20 security lanes for passengers to complete the embarkation process to ensure just as much safety is prioritised as airport travel. And the final procedure is to pass through the biometric e-gates, kick-starting a memorable experience for all MSC Cruises’ guests which comes down to “remarkable digital innovations”, including embracing the digital ID wallet and allowing biometric terminal access for frictionless travel.
