Public Parking Options

If you’re looking for affordable and accessible parking options in Long Beach for your cruise, public parking lots are a great choice. These parking facilities are conveniently located near the cruise terminal and offer a range of amenities for cruisers.

One of the popular public parking options for cruise passengers is the Public Parking Lot at the Long Beach Convention Center. This secure parking facility is just a short distance from the cruise terminal and offers both daily and long-term parking options. The lot is well-maintained and provides 24-hour security for your peace of mind.

Another public parking option is the Pike Parking Garage, located adjacent to the Pike Outlets. This multi-level parking structure provides ample parking spaces and is within walking distance of the cruise terminal. It also offers convenient access to shopping and dining options, allowing you to indulge in some retail therapy or enjoy a delicious meal before or after your cruise.

If you prefer a more budget-friendly option, the City Place Parking Lot is worth considering. Located near the downtown area, this parking facility offers affordable rates and a complimentary shuttle service to the cruise terminal. It’s a convenient choice for those looking to save some money without compromising on convenience.

It’s important to note that public parking facilities may have limited availability during peak cruise seasons, so it’s advisable to arrive early to secure a spot. Additionally, be sure to check the parking rates and any parking restrictions in advance to avoid any surprises.

When parking your vehicle in a public lot, it’s always a good idea to secure your belongings and ensure your vehicle is locked. While these lots are generally safe and well-monitored, taking precautions will give you added peace of mind during your cruise.

Overall, public parking options in Long Beach provide a convenient and cost-effective solution for cruise passengers. With their proximity to the cruise terminal and competitive rates, you can enjoy a stress-free parking experience as you embark on your cruise adventure.

Long Beach Cruise Terminal Parking

If convenience is your top priority when it comes to parking for your cruise, then the dedicated parking options at the Long Beach Cruise Terminal are your best bet. These parking facilities are located right next to the cruise terminal, ensuring a quick and seamless transition from your vehicle to the ship.

The Long Beach Cruise Terminal offers two main parking areas. The first is the “Queen Mary Lot,” located adjacent to the Queen Mary ship. This parking lot provides easy access to the cruise terminal and offers both covered and uncovered parking options. The rates are competitive, and the lot is well-maintained and secure. Plus, parking in the Queen Mary Lot gives you the opportunity to explore the historic Queen Mary ship before or after your cruise.

The second parking area is the “Cruise Terminal Parking Structure.” This covered parking facility is directly connected to the cruise terminal via a pedestrian bridge, making it extremely convenient for passengers. The structure offers ample parking spaces and provides 24-hour security for added peace of mind. The rates for parking in the Cruise Terminal Parking Structure are usually slightly higher than the Queen Mary Lot, but the convenience and accessibility make it worth considering.

It’s important to note that parking at the Long Beach Cruise Terminal can fill up quickly during peak cruise seasons. To secure your spot, it’s recommended to book your parking in advance through the cruise line or the Port of Long Beach’s official website.

Additionally, some cruise lines offer parking packages that include the cost of parking with your cruise fare. This can be a convenient option as it eliminates the need for separate payment and ensures a guaranteed spot in the designated cruise terminal parking areas.

No matter which parking area you choose at the Long Beach Cruise Terminal, you can expect a hassle-free parking experience with easy access to the terminal and the convenience of being just steps away from your ship.

Off-Site Parking Options

If you’re looking for alternative parking options outside of the official cruise terminal parking areas in Long Beach, there are off-site parking facilities available that offer convenience and competitive rates.

One popular off-site parking option is the Park ‘N Cruise facility. Located just a short distance from the cruise terminal, Park ‘N Cruise provides secure parking with 24-hour surveillance. They offer both uncovered and covered parking options, and complimentary shuttle service to and from the cruise terminal. This allows you to park your vehicle in a safe and affordable location while having the convenience of a shuttle to transport you and your luggage to the terminal.

Another off-site parking facility to consider is the EZ Cruise Parking lot. Situated near the cruise terminal, EZ Cruise Parking offers both covered and uncovered parking spaces. They provide a complimentary shuttle service for convenient transportation to and from the cruise terminal. With competitive rates and a well-maintained facility, EZ Cruise Parking is a popular choice for many cruisers.

It’s worth noting that off-site parking facilities may require advance online reservations to secure your spot, especially during peak cruise seasons. By booking in advance, you can guarantee a parking space and potentially take advantage of discounted rates or promotional offers.

Many off-site parking facilities also offer additional services such as luggage assistance, car washes, and even vehicle maintenance options. These extra amenities can enhance your overall parking experience and add convenience to your journey.

When choosing an off-site parking facility, be sure to consider factors such as security, shuttle service frequency, and proximity to the cruise terminal. Additionally, check the operating hours of the facility to ensure they align with your cruise departure and arrival times.

Off-site parking options in Long Beach provide a viable alternative for cruisers who prefer to park their vehicles in a secure location outside of the official cruise terminal parking areas. With competitive rates and convenient shuttle services, these facilities offer a reliable and cost-effective solution for parking during your cruise vacation.

Shuttle Services to the Cruise Terminal

For added convenience and ease of transportation to the Long Beach Cruise Terminal, there are shuttle services available that can take you from various locations to the terminal.

One of the most popular shuttle services is the Long Beach Transit Passport. This free shuttle service operates in the downtown area and provides easy access to the cruise terminal. The Passport shuttle conveniently stops at multiple locations, including hotels, restaurants, and popular tourist attractions. It’s a great option for those staying in the downtown area or wanting to explore the city before embarking on their cruise.

Many hotels near the Long Beach Cruise Terminal also offer complimentary shuttle services to transport their guests to and from the terminal. This service is often provided as an added amenity for hotel guests, making it a convenient choice for those who prefer to stay near the terminal and not worry about parking their vehicle.

If you choose to park your vehicle at an off-site parking facility, they typically offer complimentary shuttle services as well. These shuttles are specifically designed to transport guests from the parking facility to the cruise terminal and vice versa. The shuttle service usually runs on a regular schedule to ensure you arrive at the terminal in a timely manner.

It’s important to check the shuttle service availability and schedule in advance, especially if you’re relying on it for transportation to the cruise terminal. Some shuttles may require reservations or have limited capacity, so it’s wise to plan accordingly and allow enough time for travel.

Using a shuttle service eliminates the need to worry about parking or navigating the busy streets around the cruise terminal. It allows you to sit back, relax, and enjoy the journey to your embarkation point, knowing that transportation is taken care of.

Tips for Parking in Long Beach for a Cruise

Parking for your cruise in Long Beach can be a smooth and stress-free experience with the right preparation and knowledge. To help you make the most of your parking experience, here are some valuable tips to keep in mind:

• Book in advance: If you decide to park in the official cruise terminal parking areas or off-site parking facilities, it’s advisable to make a reservation in advance. This guarantees you a parking spot and allows you to take advantage of any discounts or promotions.
• Arrive early: To ensure you have ample time to park your vehicle and complete the necessary check-in procedures, it’s recommended to arrive at the parking facility or terminal with plenty of time to spare. This way, you can avoid any last-minute rush or stress.
• Follow parking instructions: Whether you’re parking in a public lot, the cruise terminal parking areas, or an off-site facility, make sure to follow the parking instructions provided. Pay attention to any signage, designated parking areas, and any specific regulations that need to be followed.
• Secure your belongings: When parking your vehicle, ensure that all valuable items are out of sight or locked away securely. It’s also a good idea to remove any GPS devices or mounts to reduce the risk of theft. Taking these precautions provides added peace of mind while you’re away on your cruise.
• Keep important documents with you: As you exit your vehicle, make sure to have your cruise documents, identification, and any other essential items readily accessible. This will streamline the check-in process and minimize any delays or challenges.
• Consider alternative transportation: If you live within proximity of the Long Beach Cruise Terminal, you may want to consider alternative transportation options such as rideshare services or public transportation. This can help avoid parking fees altogether and simplify the process of getting to and from the terminal.
• Label your luggage: If you’re dropping off your luggage at the cruise terminal before parking, ensure that each bag is properly labeled with your contact information and cabin number. This will enable a smooth transition and ensure your bags are delivered to the correct location on the ship.
• Keep track of parking details: Take note of the location and parking level where you parked your vehicle. It’s easy to forget these details after a long cruise, and it will save you time and frustration when it comes time to retrieve your vehicle.
• Be mindful of parking restrictions: If you choose to park in a public parking lot or on-street parking, be aware of any parking restrictions such as time limits or street cleaning schedules. Violating these restrictions can result in fines or towing.
• Plan for traffic delays: When driving to the Long Beach Cruise Terminal, keep in mind that there may be traffic congestion, especially during busy cruise seasons or peak travel times. Allow extra travel time to account for potential delays.

Parking Access  can find you safe and affordable parking on the spot! We will help you book a discounted parking space at many airports, cruise ports, and even major ballparks. Discover the best Long Beach Cruise parking deals and make a parking reservation within minutes!

Port of Long Beach

The Port of Long Beach  is the second busiest one in the United States, right after the Port of Los Angeles in San Pedro. Popular Carnival Cruise Line ships, as well as some other cruisers of the Carnival Cruise lines, arrive and depart from Long Beach. It’s situated 12 miles away from the Long Beach Airport and 23 miles from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).

If you plan on driving to the port, you should inform yourself of all car parking options in the area. This way, you can find cheap cruise parking in advance and leave your car in a safe place while on the beach cruise vacation. Several parking providers, at or near the Long Beach Cruise Terminal, offer convenient long-term and short-term parking spaces for cruise passengers. Various parking options are available, including uncovered or covered parking, indoor parking, garage parking, etc.

Our guide on where to park and stay provides a simple and safe online reservation process, clear and upfront pricing, and relevant reviews. We have divided this article into three categories: Official Long Beach Harbor Cruise parking, off-site parking, and hotels near Long Beach Harbor with day cruise parking. 

Official Long Beach Harbor Cruise Parking

The Port of Long Beach offers a large parking garage located so close to the seaport that you will need only a couple of minutes to reach the cruise terminals. It is a five-story garage that provides nearly 1500 parking spots. To access this facility, look for the porters wearing red caps – they are at the terminal entrance and will help you with your luggage and direct you to the garage. There’s also an adjacent outdoor parking lot, which is also near the port.

The list below offers the public parking rates in the official Long Beach Cruise Terminal parking facilities:

The height limit in the cruise parking garage is is 7’0″—oversized vehicles must park in the adjacent parking area.

Accessible parking at the cruise port is available in all Long Beach Cruise parking areas. Vehicles using designated car parking spots have to own a disabled parking permit, license plate, or an ADA placard. Standard parking rates apply to handicapped parking.

Off-Site Long Beach Cruise Parking

Off-site parking structures usually offer the best parking value, and that’s why budget travelers often look for parking lots that are a bit farther away but cheaper. However, there is no secure parking lot within walking distance that offers more affordable parking rates.

You can find safe Long Beach Harbor cruise parking in nearby downtown Long Beach, but those parking garages and lots are a few miles away. Therefore, you should organize a taxi ride or use Long Beach transit to the cruise port. Although they do not provide free shuttle service to the cruise terminal, some of those parking facilities provide reasonably-priced long-term parking that can be worthwhile.

IMPORTANT: THE CITY OF LONG BEACH HAS A STRICT POLICY THAT STATES NO VEHICLE SHALL PARK FOR MORE THAN 72 HOURS IN ANY CITY-OWNED OR MANAGED PARKING LOT .

Hotels Near Long Beach Harbor With Cruise Parking & Shuttles

Hotel parking is available as well. Many Long Beach hotels provide Park & Sail packages for pre/post-cruise stays. This is one of the best parking alternatives for passengers who want to spend some time in the city before or after the trip. Get a good night’s rest in a nice Long Beach hotel, a discounted or free parking spot for the duration of your trip,  and shuttle transportation to the port complex. This way, you can start your cruise from the port refreshed and stress-free.

To save you some time, we have already found  hotels  with the best cruise parking packages:

• Hotel Royal  – from $87
• Residence Inn by Marriott Long Beach Downtown  – from $156
• Hyatt Regency Long Beach  – from $209
• Holiday Inn Long Beach Airport  – from $209
• Hotel Maya DoubleTree by Hilton  – from $226

In Conclusion 

Since the Port of Long Beach has a large and secure parking structure, the most convenient parking option is to simply leave the vehicle in the on-site parking area. To minimize your Long Beach parking costs, use off-site parking facilities – they are an ideal choice with the lowest prices.

For passengers coming a day before the cruise, we have listed the best Long Beach Park and Cruise hotels – they allow you to arrive a day earlier, spend a night in the hotel, and use a shuttle bus service to the cruise ship terminal. This is a great service, and we highly recommend it.

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.

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.

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

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 .
