The state-of-the-art buildings opened in 1950 and included the largest passenger/cargo terminal in the harbor. There are several hotels or accommodations near the Long Beach Cruise Port. As mentioned earlier, I would recommend flying in the day before your cruise just to be safe.

What Bloggers Are Suggesting You Do in San Pedro:

With a Cruise Plus Hotel Package, a Princess representative meets you at the airport and pier, transporting you to and from your hotel. The package includes the cost of your hotel stay, transportation, luggage handling and the services of the representative. Let Princess pick you up from the airport and take you directly to your ship or hotel when you arrive, even if you didn't book your airfare through us. Individual cruise line companies continued operating from various berths at the port, but there was no centralized passenger terminal. The Los Angeles Harbor has always had a pleasure cruise trade since the early 1900s, when ships carried passengers to Catalina Island.

It opened on April 29, 1988, with the cruise ship Azure Seas as its first arrival. The new building, dedicated solely to passenger ships, had a friendlier and less industrial feel than its predecessor. Many cruise lines sail out of one of Los Angeles’ two cruise ports in San Pedro (World Cruise Center) or Long Beach.

Note that there are no trains that run through the San Pedro Catalina Terminal station but connecting buses do. The Route 1B Amtrak buses can then take you to various other locations. The World Cruise Center offers two adjacent berths shared by four cruise lines. Be sure to note the specific embarkation instructions on your boarding documents as cruise line berth designations change often. Remove the hassle from air travel and give yourself the gift of flexibility, time and a thicker wallet with Princess EZair flights. We negotiate lower rates with the airlines, allow you to modify your flight up to 45 days prior with no penalty and protect you if your flight is late or canceled.

The terminal is 23 miles (37 km) from the Los Angeles International Airport. Expect to pay USD 65+ for a taxi from LAX and USD 35 from Long Beach Airport. Crowne Plaza Hotel Los Angeles Harbor – It’s under a mile from the cruise port and a favorite among cruisers. The Crowne Plaza provides a port shuttle if needed and has an inhouse restaurant. Our embarkation at berth 46 was chaotic with long lines waiting to drop off luggage.

If you are the type of traveler who already uses a travel agent, this may be your best choice. If you are late for your ship leaving, your only option is to attempt to catch a flight to the next port and board the ship there. While you’ll need a hotel stay flying a day earlier, you won’t be at risk of missing your cruise.

After check in, we were told to get back on a bus to drive the few hundred feet to board the ship. Taxi prices can vary but expect to pay at least USD 65 or more if traveling from LAX International Airport to the Long Beach Cruise terminal. Another option is to book your flight to Los Angeles through your cruise line.

Both convenient locations operate Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. As the primary port serving cruise guests to Los Angeles, the entire area is available within an hour drive. This includes attractions like Disneyland, beaches, and museums. Overnight parking is available through Parking Concepts and no reservations are required.

The most efficient transit from LAX to the San Pedro cruise terminal is via a cruise line shuttle service, which is available to passengers arriving by air on the same day of cruise departure. Travelers must pre-book transportation for one-way or round-trip service. From sea lions in Mexico to famous waterfalls in Hawaii, travel around the globe on a cruise from Los Angeles with Princess. Whether you want to embark on a 111-day world cruise or a 3-day California Coast getaway, unpack once and visit multiple destinations on your travel wish list. With cruises leaving from Los Angeles, enjoy convenient departures that are just an easy flight — or drive — away. Parking is available at parking garages on the port property.

We have taken the short flight from Vancouver many times to Los Angeles to take a winter-break cruise. Our latest was a cruise on the Discovery Princess in January with Karen’s 81-year-old mum. Cruising from LA gives you the best of all worlds — easy arrival and departure, a memorable experience in one of the world’s top ports plus a great cruise. Overnight parking is available through Parking Concepts and no reservations are required. Parking rates are $2 each hour, with an $19 daily maximum. Cash (USD), traveler's cheques, and debit/credit cards are accepted.

Karen and I fly down from Vancouver, Canada, and choose to fly the day before. Post-COVID, there have been high incidents of delays and canceled flights. The Long Beach terminal has a lower passenger volume than San Pedro, but we had a great experience when we sailed.
