Park & Cruise

Driving to your departure port?

If you’re looking for a hassle-free way to park your car and embark, then Park & Cruise is the answer.

Leave your car in safe hands

Our new Park & Cruise option offers the most convenient way to take care of parking at each of the ports listed below. How it works varies from port to port, with a range of different services on offer, from valet parking to self-service parking in the immediate vicinity of the cruise terminal. Simply leave your car at the luggage drop-off zone and board the ship (in some cases as an alternative there is a shuttle bus service from the car park to the terminal and vice versa). The parking charge is added to your onboard account, which you settle before disembarking. Then all you have to do is present the receipt to collect your car.

How to book

Ask your travel agent when making your reservation - Book online in your Personal Area using your booking number So when your departure date arrives, you can just park, embark and enjoy your cruise!

Los Angeles & Long Beach Cruise Parking (Where to Park)

With roughly 20 million residents in the Los Angeles area, it’s no surprise that many people end up driving to the cruise port and parking.

The good news is that in a city famous for its automobile lifestyle (and the traffic and congestion that comes with that) the cruise ports have made it easy and relatively inexpensive to park. 

Below, we’ve outlined your options for both LA area ports, including where to park for the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach cruise terminal.

Cruise Parking at the World Cruise Center (Port of Los Angeles)

When sailing for the Port of Los Angeles, your options are somewhat limited for parking. With a major working port on one side and residential neighborhoods on the other, there isn’t a lot of space for independent parking lots like at other ports around the country.

That said, the port offers parking right on site that’s extremely convenient. From here you can simply walk to the ship when departing and be back to your car within minutes when your cruise returns.

Official Port of Los Angeles Parking The official parking for the Port of Los Angeles is operating by Parking Concepts, Inc. They offer parking with more than 2,500 spots right near the cruise berths.

There are plenty of spots and reservations are not required.  Rates are $20 per day for regular vehicles , $40 for oversized vehicles. So for a week-long cruise, expect to pay about $140 for parking.

That may seem expensive, but it’s relatively affordable for parking compared to other major cruise ports around the country. Cash, credit, and debit cards are accepted, and you pay after your trip.

• Cost: $20 per day
• Payment: Cash, credit, and debit accepted
• Phone: 310-547-4357
• Website: https://www.portoflosangeles.org

Los Angeles Hotels with Cruise Parking While there aren’t abundant options for independent parking lots, there is one place that will offer cheap parking for cruisers — hotels. Many hotels in the area cater to cruise passengers. They will offer discounted parking if you stay with them for at least one night.  We have a list of LA hotels with cruise parking here .

In general, if you plan to stay in the LA area for an extra night or two anyway, we highly recommend using this tip to save some cash on your parking.

A number of hotels in the area such as the ones below have parking packages. See the link above for a full list:

• DoubleTree by Hilton San Pedro — Port of LA
• Crowne Plaza LA Harbor Hotel
• Vagabond Inn San Pedro

Cruise Parking at the Long Beach Cruise Terminal

Like the Port of Los Angeles, you won’t have many options for parking other than the official port parking at the terminal. Still, it’s hard to complain when parking is a mere steps away from the terminal, meaning you don’t have to deal with long walks or wait on shuttles to take you back and forth from your ship.

Official Port of Long Beach Parking A parking garage is offer right at the ship for you to park while you cruise. As you can see in the map, the parking garage is extremely close to the terminal.

Parking rates are $23 per day . So if you have a week-long cruise, expect to pay about $160.

Cash and credit cards are accepted. The lot doesn’t require reservations — there should be plenty of parking come cruise day as it is a multi-story garage. If you have an oversized vehicle, then know that the port says “oversized vehicles (those utilizing more than one parking space) cannot park in the cruise terminal garage and guests must make alternate/offsite parking arrangements.”

• Cost: $23 per day
• Payment: Cash, credit, and debit cards
• Phone: 305-599-2600
• Website: https://www.visitlongbeach.com/

Long Beach Hotels with Cruise Parking Again, if you plan to stay in the area and want to save on parking, be sure to check out  our list of hotels offering cruise parking packages .

We’ve found many offering that are within a short ride to the terminal that will also let you park your car at a rate much cheaper than parking at the cruise port. In Long Beach, the following hotels (and many more) offer parking deals for their guests:

• Courtyard Long Beach Downtown
• Hilton Long Beach
• Residence Inn Long Beach Downtown

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to park at Los Angeles and Long Beach? The two ports that are about 10 minutes from each other charge different rates. If you are sailing from the World Cruise Center (Port of Los Angeles), then the price is $20 per day. If you are sailing from the Port of Long Beach, then you’ll pay $23 per day. 

Both ports will accept cash or credit card.

Do I need a reservation to park? No. Each port has ample space for parking. For example, the Port of Los Angeles has more than 2,500 individual parking spaces. Instead of making a reservation, you simply show up on cruise day and you’ll be directed to a spot.

Are there cheaper places to park than at the port? Due to the location of the ports, there aren’t many independent lots nearby. Your best bet is to simply park at the cruise port using their official port parking.

That said, if you are planning to stay the night in the area, there are a number of hotels that offer park and cruise packages. With a night’s stay you can get discounted parking while you cruise. See our list of  Los Angeles and Long Beach “park and cruise” hotels .
