Port Los Angeles

Port Los Angeles is a large seaport complex covering a land area of 30,35 km2 (11,72 mi2) with around 69 km (43 mi) long waterfront. LA port adjoins the separate Port Long Beach. Port's main imports are furniture, auto parts, footwear-apparel, electronics. Main exports are wastepaper, scrap metal, cotton, animal feed. The largest cargo shipping volumes come from East Asia (China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam).

LA port district is an independent department of the city's government. It is controlled by Board of Harbor Commissioners consisting of 5 members and 1 executive director. They are all appointed by the city mayor and approved by the city council. All vessels are assisted by professional harbor pilots. Port's safety is guaranteed by dedicated Port Police, LA Fire Department (fire-EMS services), USCG (waterway security), Homeland Security (federal land) and LA County Lifeguards (open waters outside the harbor).

Port Los Angeles is located in San Pedro Bay, in LA's neighborhoods San Pedro and Wilmington. The seaport is approx 32 km (20 mi) south of downtown LA. It employs 896,000+ people (throughout LA) and 3,6+ million worldwide. The worth of seaport's annually shipped cargoes is ~USD 1,2 billion. Cargo volumes represent ~43% of the USA's total imported cargoes, ranking LA as USA's largest container port and the world's 16th largest (9th when combined with Long Beach).

Channel depth (53 ft / 16 m) allows access to the world's largest container ships , tankers and bulk cargo carriers. The port has a total of 23 cargo terminals (270 deepwater berths), 9 container terminals (with 77 gantry cranes) and on-site railway system (total length 182 km / 113 mi). In 2012 was completed a dredging project for deepening the main shipping channel to the current 16 m (53 ft). With its arrival in November 2013, the boxship CMA CGM Corte Real made a new North American record for call port cargo handling (10,000+ TEU moves).

In August 2017, the Port reported record-breaking container shipping volumes of 847,857 TEU-containers (6,1% increase over August 2016). August 2017 became the second-busiest month in the Port's history, following January 2017 when the container cargo volumes climbed by 9% over January 2016, with handled 8,8 million TEUs. The previous record (2013) was 7,9 million TEUs.

For FY2017, the seaport reported a record year for cargo shipping - 9,343 million TEUs (5,5% increase over 2016). Among the implemented in 2017 technology upgrades was "Port Optimizer" (online portal developed by GE Transportation). It collects and stores key cargo data to facilitate better harbor tracking. Infrastructural upgrades were completed at the terminals TraPac and Yusen.

World Cruise Center (San Pedro) is located beneath Vincent Thomas Bridge (length 6060 ft / 1847 m). The suspension bridge crosses LA Harbor and links San Pedro with the man-made Terminal Island. San Pedro cruise port has 3 berths and serves 1+ million passengers annually, ranking it West Coast USA's largest cruise terminal. Popular waterfront attractions located nearby are USS Iowa Museum, Los Angeles Maritime Museum, Cabrillo Marine Aquarium. They are all linked to the cruise port via pedestrian promenade. Shuttle bus service (provided by Waterfront Red Car Line) is a 2,5 km /(1,5 mi) long vintage trolley line along the waterfront connecting cruise terminals with downtown, Ports O'Call Village (shopping/dining complex) and San Pedro Marina.

LA Waterfront is a tourist-serving destination funded and maintained by LA port. In 2009 were approved development programs for San Pedro and Wilmington waterfronts (officially "LA Waterfront"). The area consists of 1,6 km2 (0,63 mi2) San Pedro and Wilmington properties, miles-long promenade and walking paths, large open space areas, LA Waterfront project's construction works started in 2017 and were completed in 2020. This port development project (budgeted USD 90 million) was fully paid by Port Los Angeles.

On March 9, 2023, started construction works on the Port's "Front Street Beautification Project" (budget US$10,3 million) scheduled for completion in 2024. This is among several port development projects aiming to enhance connectivity and public access between the waterfronts of LA and both San Pedro and Wilmington, by building a new pedestrian linkage (22-ft/7-m-wide multi-use pathway) used for walking, jogging, and cycling, as well as new lighting and landscaping. The new pathway starts at the northeast corner of Front Str and Pacific Ave (north of Vincent Thomas Bridge). The project also included a new 5-ft/1,5-m wide strip along Front Street.

The Cunard ship RMS Queen Mary 2 is currently port's largest cruise liner. The ever-largest liner homeported in LA is RCI-Royal Caribbean 's Mariner of the Seas . In 2009-2011, the 3835-passenger ship operated regularly scheduled 7-day roundtrips to Mexican Riviera ports. However, due to increased violence in Mexico, in 2011 the liner was relocated to the Caribbean (homeported in Galveston TX ). In 2021, RCI plans to homeport in LA Voyager of the Seas (June through December) for 3-4-night roundtrips to Mexico. Voyager OTS and Mariner OTS are sisterships.

In 2004, Port LA installed its first Alternative Maritime Power (AMP) berth, providing shore-to-ship power up to 40 MW. It allows city-grid power supply for 2 vessels simultaneously. The facility also supplies with power 3 container terminals. The technology (by Nidec Corporation, Japan) enables docked vessels to receive electricity from the city's power grid. From the berth, vessels can plug-in directly to the grid for full onboard operations without using diesel engines or gas turbines (being shut down right after docking). The Japanese company has installed such shorepower systems in the ports San Francisco CA , Juneau AK , Goteborg , Travemunde , Livorno , Genoa . In 2018 was completed the system's upgrade for providing more electricity for larger-sized cruise vessels. Shoreside power was installed at berths 91 and 93, where 2 docked liners can be connected simultaneously. Utility bills (to LA's Department of Water and Power) are paid by the seaport, which then invoices the shipowner/terminal operator for reimbursement. The estimated monthly electricity cost is minimum USD 11250 (annual US$125,000). The Port has 30+ electrified berths where boxships and refrigerated cargo carriers can use shoreside power.

In November 2017, Pier 400 (APM Terminals in Port Los Angeles) reported a single-vessel cargo record during the call of the containership Maersk Evora (a total of 24,846 TEUs loaded and offloaded over a period of 128 hours. The vessel docked at Pier 400 on October 19, calling LA as part of the Europe-Far East service AE6/TP6. On December 26, 2015, while the boxship CMA CGM Benjamin Franklin was berthed here, the terminal handled a total of 11,200 TEUs over a 56-hour period.

In 2018, in Los Angeles was homeported its ever-largest liner so far - NCL 's Alaskan ship Norwegian Bliss (2018-built, 326 m long, 168,000 tons, 4900 passengers + 1700 crew). The maiden port call was on May 25, ending here a 15-day Panama Canal repositioning from Miami Florida . Following the Alaskan season's end (October), NCL Bliss had scheduled all four 7-day roundtrips from Los Angeles to Mexican Riviera ports (Vallarta, Mazatlan, Cabo), with departures October 13, 20, 27.

For 2018 (3rd consecutive record year), Port Los Angeles reported a record-breaking container shipping volume - 9,458749 million TEUs, or 1,2% increase over 2017.

• FY2020-21 ended with the record 10,879383 million TEUs (+12% compared to FY2018-19).

In October 2019, Port Los Angeles announced plans for an Outer Harbor Cruise Terminal project (berths 46 and 50). The development project includes the construction of a new passenger terminal on LA Waterfront's south end. The 13-acres/5,3-hectares site is currently used as a special event venue and a temporary dock for cruise liners. Optional for the developer would be to operate year-round the existing LA cruise terminal (berths 91-93) and seasonally the facilities at berths 54-55.

• In 2012 was launched the "Green Ship Program" to attract the cleanest ships (Tier III classed). The program (initially planned through June 2022, later extended through June 30, 2024) offers rewards to shipowners/operators (based on engine and fuel types) ranging/per port call from US$600 to US$9000.
• In 2005 was launched the "Vessel Speed Reduction" (aka "Green Flag Program") that rewards vessels for slowing their speeds to 12 knots (14 mph/22 kph) within 20-40 NM/nautical miles of Point Fermin. By this program are offered dockage fee discounts (15%-25%, respectively, for 20-40 NM). In 2021, ~94% of all ships complied within 20 NM and ~88% within 40 NM.
• Both programs (Green Ship and Green Flag) are voluntary.

In 2017, Port Long Beach reported a record year for its cargo shipping volumes, handling 7,54+ million TEUs (11% increase over 2016's 6,775171M TEUs).

Los Angeles cruise terminal

The ships dock at two Los Angeles cruise ports – Port of Los Angeles (San Pedro) and Port of Long Beach. More popular Los Angeles cruise port is the Word Cruise Center at San Pedro.

(NEW) Outer Harbor Cruise Terminal (Los Angeles)

In early-October 2019 were announced plans for the construction of a new cruise terminal in LA (adjacent to Cabrillo Way Marina and a boat repair yard). Currently, the building is used as an event space and only occasionally for cruise berthing.

The new cruise port bidder (developer) will upgrade and enlarge the terminal’s existing facilities and berths and will manage the dock/wharf and all day-to-day operations.

In January 2020 were officially announced the plans for two new terminals (in the Outer Harbor) - Berth 45 and Berth 50. They both will have capacity to handle ships with LOA length 335 m (1100 ft), and max capacity 5000 passengers/each. Both facilities are planned as multifunctional - to double as event spaces (during no-ship days and off-season) housing musical concerts, exhibitions, conferences, etc. By this project, both berths (concrete wharves) will be upgraded with shoreside power (cold ironing) capabilities and dedicated parking areas.

In February 2023, LA Port released a draft RFP/Request for Proposals for Outer Harbor Cruise Terminal's development and for the existing World Cruise Center's redevelopment (Inner Harbor Cruise Terminal).

World Cruise Center Terminals (San Pedro)

The two terminals of World Cruise Center are 18 mi (29 km) away from LAX (Los Angeles International Airport), direction South. The first Los Angeles cruise port terminal has two berths 91 and 92. the second one has only one - 93. Two or three larger cruise ships can dock here.

San Pedro Terminal's address is: "Port of Los Angeles, Berths 91-93, World Cruise Center, San Pedro, CA 90731".

Parking is USD 15 per day (Port Authority prices are subject to change). The facilities in the San Pedro terminal include check-in, cafes, bars, shops, parking area, taxi ranks.

Long Beach Cruise Terminal (Carnival)

The second Los Angeles cruise ship terminal is located approx 23 mi (37 km) away from LAX, and 5 mi (8 km) away from World Cruise Center Terminals. It was inaugurated in 2003 for Carnival Corporation ships exclusively. The white dome building (former Spruce Goose aeroplane dome) now houses the cruise terminal (Pier H).

Facilities here include bars, cafes, restaurants, shops, check-in, parking space, taxi ranks. Long Beach Terminal's address: is "Port of Long Beach, 231 Windsor Way, Long Beach, CA 90802". Parking is USD 17 per day (Port Authority prices are subject to change).

In October 2016, Carnival Cruise Line signed an agreement with Port Long Beach and with the landlord (Urban Commons) to expand the "Long Beach Cruise Terminal" facility in order to accommodate larger vessels and enhance terminal operations.

Carnival operates Long Beach terminal since 2003, but using only part of the Geodesic Dome (former museum). The new agreement gave the company 100% use of the Dome (customs and passenger check-in) for its cruise operations.

Construction works started on April 12, 2017. Renovations increased the facility from approx 66,000 to 142,000 ft2 (6130 to 13190 m2). Following the improvements, Long Beach Cruise Terminal now allows docking of larger-sized vessels and also provides additional space for 2-way passenger shipping operations. This enables embarking passengers to access the facility prior to completion of the previous cruise disembarkation process.

Development plans also included expansion of portside cold-ironing capacity to accommodate larger vessels. Shore power allows berthed cruise ships to shut down their main diesel engines and plug into the city's electrical grid, using hydroelectricity for all the onboard services. The technology greatly reduces exhaust emissions in port.

Carnival also made enhancements to the area surrounding the Dome and the adjacent "RMS Queen Mary" (former Cunard liner) city attraction. Terminal's parking capacity was also expanded to accommodate future growth. The multi-million dollar renovated and expanded Carnival cruise terminal was reopened on February 10, 2018. with the arrival of Carnival Splendor . The berth was also electrified (equipped with shoreside electrical power).

In 2017, Carnival had 3 vessels homeported year-round in LA (Long Beach) - Inspiration and Imagination (both for short Baja Mexico cruises) and Miracle (for Mexican Riviera, Hawaii and Alaskan roundtrips).

What Cruise Port Does Norwegian Use in Los Angeles?

By Alice Nichols

If you’re planning a cruise with Norwegian Cruise Line departing from Los Angeles, you may be wondering which port the ship will depart from. Norwegian Cruise Line uses the San Pedro World Cruise Center as its homeport in Los Angeles.

San Pedro World Cruise Center

The San Pedro World Cruise Center is located in the Port of Los Angeles, just 20 miles south of downtown LA. The modern cruise terminal offers a wide range of amenities and services to passengers, including parking, shuttle services, and luggage handling.

Getting to the San Pedro World Cruise Center

The San Pedro World Cruise Center is easily accessible by car or public transportation. If you’re driving to the port, there are several parking options available at or near the cruise terminal. If you prefer public transportation, there are several bus and train routes that serve the area.

What to Expect at the Port

When you arrive at the San Pedro World Cruise Center, you’ll go through a security checkpoint before entering the terminal. Once inside, you’ll find check-in counters for Norwegian Cruise Line and other cruise lines that use the port. After checking in, you’ll proceed through security screening before boarding your ship.

Nearby Attractions

If you have some extra time before or after your cruise, there are plenty of nearby attractions to explore. The Port of Los Angeles offers stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and is home to several restaurants and shops. You can also visit nearby attractions such as the USS Iowa Battleship Museum or Cabrillo Beach.

Complete Guide to Cruising from the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach

While they would never be mistaken with the world’s most popular cruise ports like Miami and Fort Lauderdale, Los Angeles and Long Beach are still heavily trafficked cruise ports.

Hundreds of thousands of passengers each year sail from the Port of Los Angeles and the Long Beach Cruise Terminal.

Today, you can have your choice of cruise lines in the area, from Carnival to Princess to Norwegian to Royal Caribbean. Meanwhile, itineraries have expanded beyond simply the well-known Mexican Riviera trips to include coastal California cruises, trips through the Panama Canal, and even cruises to Hawaii and Canada.

Los Angeles & Long Beach Cruise Port Locations

Both ports are located just a few miles of each other, with one in San Pedro and the other in Long Beach.

If you’re unfamiliar with the area, these cities are both part of the greater Los Angeles area and are about 20 miles south of downtown LA. If flying in for your cruise, expect the trip from Los Angeles International (LAX) to take at least 30 minutes and possibly more due to traffic.

Which port you cruise from will depend on which cruise line you sail. To help you find your way, we’ve covered each port in detail below.

Sailing From the World Cruise Center (Port of Los Angeles)

The Port of Los Angeles is the busier of the two ports. A number of lines, including Princess, Norwegian, Royal Caribbean and Celebrity depart from the port. 

The port features three berths (91-93). Expect it to take about 30 minutes to an hour to get to the port from the Los Angeles International Airport. 

Getting to the Port of Los Angeles (World Cruise Center)

Southern California is known for its car culture. It shouldn’t be a surprise, then, that the most convenient way to get to the cruise ship is to drive (if you’re in the area and have a car) or take an Uber/Lyft. These services provide access from all major airports in the area. And you can be picked up anywhere else in the area to get to the ship on your own schedule.

Expect the ride to cost at least $50 for a car from LAX to the cruise port. Higher rates will apply if going a longer distance or during peak times.

Estimated ride times from major points of interest are below:

• Los Angeles International (LAX): 30 min
• Long Beach Airport (LBG): 25 min
• John Wayne Airport (SNA): 45 min
• Downtown: 40 min 

You can read more about all your options on getting to the ship (including shuttles) and pricing on our Los Angeles cruise transportation page .

Parking at World Cruise Center

Of course, if you live in the area — as millions do — then you may be interested in simply driving and parking at the port. 

The good news is that there is ample parking right at the port. You can park practically at the terminal and walk right in. While the convenience is nice, it does come at a cost. Rates are $20 per day for most vehicles. So over the course of a weeklong cruise, you can expect to spend $140.

For more details on parking, see our Los Angles cruise parking page here .

Want to park cheaper? If you are traveling from farther away and plan to stay at a hotel in the area, then look for a hotel with a park and cruise package. With these deals you can get your hotel and have parking (and often a shuttle) included. 

See our list of Los Angles cruise hotels with parking deals .

Due to the location of the port, there aren’t any independent parking lots nearby that we know of.

Where to Stay for a Los Angeles Cruise

Flying into Los Angeles for a cruise? It’s always a good idea to plan to arrive into the city the day before. That way if there are any delays, you aren’t scrambling to make it to the port — or have any worry about missing the ship.

So where should you stay? The area around the port (San Pedro) offers a number of hotels within just 1-3 miles of the ships. This includes some right on the waterfront and some that offer a shuttle service to get guests to the cruise terminal.

You can see a list of nearby hotels to the World Cruise Center here .

Sailing From the Long Beach Cruise Terminal

Los Angeles — while far from being the biggest cruise departure port in the country — offers two different cruise ports. The Long Beach terminal is a short distance from the Port of Los Angeles (about 15 minutes via car). It serves Carnival Cruise Lines, which primarily sails shorter trips to the Mexican Riviera.

The terminal here is one of the most unique in the country as it is a large dome. It used to house the famous Spruce Goose and also served as a soundstage for Hollywood movies. Today, it holds passengers as they prepare to board the ship.

Visitors will also recognize the historic Queen Mary, which is docked permanently at the port. As with the Port of Los Angeles, expect it to take about 30-45 minutes to get to the cruise port from the LAX airport, depending on traffic. If flying in, Long Beach Airport is much closer, reducing travel time.

Getting to the Long Beach Cruise Port

As with the World Cruise Center in San Pedro, your best bet for getting to the port if you need transportation is with an Uber or Lyft. These services are widely available, including offering rides from the major airports.

Prices will vary depending on where you are coming from. For reference, you can expect to spend around $60 for a ride from Los Angeles International to the Long Beach cruise port. Prices will vary based on traffic.

Here are some estimated commute times from certain points:

• Los Angeles International (LAX): 30-40 min
• Long Beach Airport (LBG): 15 min
• John Wayne Airport (SNA): 35 min
• Downtown: 45 min

You can read more about all your options on getting to the ship and pricing on our Long Beach cruise transportation page .

Parking at the Long Beach Cruise Terminal

For many people, they don’t have to worry about a ride to the port. Roughly 20 million people live in the greater Los Angeles area that includes Long Beach. That means many people are able to simply drive to the cruise ship.

Of course, if you are driving, then you will need a spot to park. The port offers ample parking in a garage that’s right next to the terminal. However, that convenience comes at a cost. The port charges $23 per day for parking. Over the course of a weeklong cruise, expect to spend upwards of $160.

For all the details on parking, see our Long Beach cruise parking page here .

There are also hotels in the area that offer cruise parking for guests. Stay a night and you can leave your car while you sail — for a reduced cost versus parking at the port. If you plan on staying in a hotel the night before your cruise, this deal can save you a nice chunk of change. 

See our list of Long Beach cruise hotels with parking deals .

Where to Stay for a Long Beach Cruise

Flying into the area before your cruise? Or maybe you want to be able to relax before you sail, instead of having to drive to the cruise ship on the morning of your trip? No matter the reason, Long Beach offers a number of hotels that are within just a short distance of the terminal.

As well, the terminal is right across from the city of Long Beach itself. That provides a lot to do right near the ship. For example, you can stay the night before, visit the Aquarium of the Pacific or The Pike (an outdoor shopping mall with restaurants and entertainment options), or even spend some time on the beach.

The good news is there are plenty of options within just a few minutes of the port. You can see a list and details of nearby hotels to the Long Beach cruise port here .

I believe that Long Beach is closer than LAX, however availability is greater out of LAX.

10 minutes ago, Teacherloves2Cruise said: however availability is greater out of LAX.

Isn't that the truth!  I just checked for flights from my home airport to LGB and found that every one has multiple connections (as many as THREE!).

I just looked at Google Maps, traveling right now, it shows about the same time from either airport with LAX actually being slightly shorter.  Travel time of approx. 30 minutes.

Thank you, looks like I'll be flying into LAX!

Thank you, because of the flight options, LAX it is !

I was advised by NCL to allow 45 mins to an hour for LAX travel.

What about SNA? Anyone travel through Orange County instead?

SNA is too far away - just be prepared with extra time flying into LAX, the airport is a mess and ALWAYS packed.

Even though travel time is about the same, Long Beach Airport is way faster because of the reduced time required to get a shuttle or rental car.  Also Uber doesn't suffer the same surge charges at LGB as they do at LAX.

Reference map image LINK:

https://www.google.com/maps/@33.8167729,-118.0867894,11z

Long Beach is left centered (NCL is next door at San Pedro)

Using Interstate Highway 405 -

LAX - Los Angeles airport is in the upper left corner

LGB - Long Beach is just north of Signal Hill

SNA - Santa Ana Orange County (John Wayne) is west of Irvine right lower corner

The map/image is zoomable for better detail

Thus LGB is the closest but the problem with LGB airport is no flights of any distance (think east of Mississippi River)

which brings up the connection issue - connections are time wasting travel prone to misconnection snafu.

There are other airports but have time inhibiting factors:

SAN - San Diego 90 miles south a two hour ride with flights to some east coast cities

ONT - San Bernardino Ontario 40 miles east and like LGB only short hop flights

BUR - Bob Hope Burbank Airport some 40 miles away and very limited travel options

While LAX is a very heavy traffic airport it can't be beat for number of flights and destinations.

The transportation - NCL and private transfer service is perhaps the best to consider post-cruise.

It is somewhat stressful so allow some time and go with the flow - try not to end your travel on a bad note

rushing time and things - leave Mission Impossible to Hollywood.

My daughter lives in Ca, and we can go LAX, ONT, or SNA with no problem, but LAX is always the cheapest, and has , by far, the most flights.

17 hours ago, quercus alba said: What about SNA? Anyone travel through Orange County instead?

We have.  Yes, it might be a bit farther away but nowhere the mess of LAX.  Very uncrowded airport.

Long Beach is by far the closest and a very small airport: easy to fly in  and out of, but yes, it is small so many air lines do not fly to Long Beach or if they do, it means changing planes depending on where you are coming from. LAX as you can imagine is a huge airport and to be honest, even though I was born and raised in L.A one of the worst airports ever. 

nice air port but not as close as Long Beach or LAX

I grew up in L.A.  Was an air traffic controller in Los Angeles, serving LAX, LGB, SNA, and all the others.  LAX is horrible...but airline convenient.

Roger, did you work in RADAR? I grew up in the area too, my step father worked for AAL in the 60's. Had a cousin who worked in Arkansas that came to LA and took us kids to the LAX TWR looked like this....           ....  https://waterandpower.org/museum/Aviation_in_Early_LA_(Page_3).html ..the photo is down the page quite a ways

I covered all the bases actually.  I worked all the radar sectors providing radar ATC to all airports in the greater L.A. area.   I then worked at LGB, both the radar and tower, when it was at the time 4th busiest airport in the country.  Did some other places including the radar facility at Chicago O'Hare when it was the world's busiest.  Retired to Nashville where I was a supervisor/staff/manager type person.  My FAA time was '68 to '90 with USAF before that.  I'd rather be cruising though!  

My FAA time was 1974-2010 with a 16 yr break from 1981-1997. NAVY 1966-1970. Great careers. Thanks for your service. We are planning a cruise next Feb partial canal 12 days.
