Last Updated on April 7, 2024 by Usama

Compare Reviews and Features To Find Top World Cruise Center Parking

Finding secure parking is so simple with Parking Access ! We can help you reserve a car parking spot at the  Port of Los Angeles , as well as many other ports, airports, and ballparks. Discover the best Los Angeles Cruise parking offers and make your discounted parking reservation without any delay!

If driving into the city, you’re probably wondering  where to park your car while on your cruise vacation . Several public parking structures, available at and near the Port of Los Angeles, provide a convenient place to leave your vehicle while you’re sailing. You can choose among uncovered or covered parking services, daily parking, garage parking, etc.

Official Port of Los Angeles Cruise Parking

With a huge port on one side and a residential area on the other, there isn’t a lot of space for independent cruise port parking garages. Still, you have several good choices, including the official port parking  (Battleship IOWA, Catalina Sea and Air Terminal, Los Angeles World Cruise Center).

The Port of Los Angeles provides the most convenient parking. No cruise parking reservations are required, and you can use the on-site parking structures for overnight parking. Parking Lots 1 and 2 are open from 9 AM to 6 PM, while Parking Lots 6, 7, and 8 are open 24/7. Free shuttle bus service is available to and from the cruise ship terminal. 

All cruise terminal parking facilities at the Port of Los Angeles have the same parking rates, and you can check them out below.

Tip : Getting a monthly parking permit at the Port of Los Angeles is more affordable than 5 days of parking—you can purchase it for as low as $90.

Most passengers choose to park here, and these lots are available on a first-come, first-served basis. It is great for short-term parking.

Accessible Parking

Handicapped parking is available in all cruise terminal parking areas. Vehicles using designated parking spots at the Los Angeles World Cruise Center have to own a disabled parking permit, license plate, or an ADA placard. Note that courtesy shuttle buses are not wheelchair-accessible. Standard parking rates apply.

Off-Site Los Angeles Cruise Parking

Off-site parking facilities offer the best parking value. If you’re one of the budget travelers, there are a few self-parking options offered by the LA Waterfront that you might consider. The following cruise terminal parking lots can provide you with free parking services or very affordable parking spaces on an event day. Not only are they cheap, but the lots are also located within a short distance of the World Cruise Center terminal.

See our list below for more low-cost parking information.

The Port of Long Beach is a short drive away from the World Cruise Center—check out our guide to Long Beach Cruise Parking to see if there’s an off-site parking lot that might suit you, too.

Hotels With Cruise Parking & Shuttles

The Park & Cruise Packages provided by various Los Angeles  hotels  are the best parking alternative for anyone who wants to stay the night in LA before the cruise. Book a room in a hotel to get free parking or a discounted parking space for the duration of your vacation. Most of them also provide shuttle service to the Cruise Port of Los Angeles.

Below listed are the best and the cheapest Los Angeles hotels with cruise terminal parking:

• Best Western Plus San Pedro  – from $149
• Crowne Plaza Los Angeles Harbor  – from $110

In Conclusion 

The Port of Los Angeles has several parking structures available to all cruise ship passengers. You can leave your vehicle in any on-site parking area or use a more affordable off-site parking lot. Each off-site parking facility is a great choice since they are close and free or very cheap. For those coming a day before the cruise, we’ve listed the Park and Cruise hotels that allow you to arrive a day earlier, get a good night’s sleep, and use free shuttles to the World Cruise Center.

Our port guide, and accompanying articles about  parking ,  transportation ,  park and cruise hotels ,  and  attractions  will provide you with all the information you need to plan your pre or post-cruise stay in the Los Angeles area.

The links below will help you jump around the guide to the sections that interest you most, and at the bottom is a  map  of all the points of interest mentioned.

LOS ANGELES CRUISE TERMINALS

There are two terminals in Los Angeles, one in San Pedro and one in Long Beach separated by the Los Angeles cargo port. They are about 5 miles (8 km) apart so it is important to know which terminal your cruise ship will be using.

At the time of writing, only Carnival use the Long Beach terminal, but be sure to check with your cruise line which terminal you need to head to.

If you are using a GPS or map program (we use  Here WeGo ), input the following addresses to find your terminal

WORLD CRUISE CENTER :   100 Swinford St, San Pedro, CA 90731

LONG BEACH CRUISE CENTER :   231 Windsor Way, Long Beach, CA 90802

• World Cruise Center
• Long Beach Cruise Center

PASSENGER & LUGGAGE DROP OFF

EMBARKATION:   Luggage drop-off at parking lots is provided on a limited basis (indicated on the parking lot signage). For faster service, you can drop off your luggage and companions at the terminal first.

DISEMBARKATION:   When returning you can either retrieve your vehicle and return to the terminal to pick up your companions and luggage in the loading area, or take your luggage and companions to your parking lot to retrieve your vehicle.

The area next to the cruise terminal is for loading and unloading only so you should be prepared to unload/load quickly to allow others to do the same.

TAXIS : As to be expected there is a high demand for taxis during peak disembarkation hours and they may not be readily available. Please account for this wait time in your plans for departure day, especially when booking a flight home.

*Please Note: These scheduled ports of call are not guaranteed as the cruise line may make changes to their itineraries due to weather or other reasons. 

MONEY MATTERS

The currency of the United States is the US Dollar (USD) which is divided into 100 cents. It is printed on paper bills in the following denominations: $1, $2 (uncommon), $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100. It also includes the following coins: 1¢ (penny), 5¢ (nickel), 10¢ (dime), and 25¢ (quarter). There are 50¢ pieces and dollar coins but they aren’t common.

Although it’s not mandatory, tipping is customary in the United States and some service industries will expect a tip for a job well done. Visitors from outside the country may also be surprised at how much is tipped as it can be quite a bit more than in, for example, European countries.

RESTAURANTS:   It is customary to offer your waiter or waitress a tip between 15-20% depending on the level of service they provided. Usually, you will find the service is very attentive (refilling your drinking, checking on your party etc.) but if the service isn’t great you can leave a smaller tip or even no tip. Typically service that doesn’t warrant a tip does warrant speaking with a manager to voice your dissatisfaction. If you are dining with a large group (usually 8 or more) the restaurant may add an 18% service charge to your bill automatically so check for this before you add your tip. This is usually indicated at the bottom of a menu if the restaurant does this, or it will be indicated on your bill.

BARS : A tip of 10-15% is appropriate at a bar. In some places, you’ll find a “tip jar” on the bar and others you can give the tip to your server directly.

TAXIS:   A tip of 10-15% of your fare is customary, especially if your driver helps you with your luggage.

Paying with a credit or debit card is very common and in most restaurants, bars, and even taxis,  you’ll be able to add a tip to the total on the machine when you settle the bill if you don’t have cash. This is so common that many credit card machines now even have buttons with 15% / 18% / 20% on them so it will calculate the tip for you if you choose that option. You are always given the option to select the amount you’d like to tip, or you can opt not to put the tip on your card and give a cash tip instead.

BANKS & ATMS

Finding an ATM (Automated Teller Machine) will not be too difficult in Los Angeles, with several not too far from each of the cruise terminals. We’ve pinned several banks and ATMs that are near the terminals to the map below.

Generally, in the US, you will find ATMs at banks (some may have drive-thru ATMs), in grocery stores, gas stations, and in pharmacies (of which two common ones are   CVS   and   Walgreens ).

GETTING AROUND LOS ANGELES

Los Angeles is a large city and not designed for walking around. The best option if you plan to explore is to hire a car. If you are flying in then you can rent cars from the airports, check out our   transportation   guide for more info.

LA does have a reasonable public transport system with three different types of Metro buses:

• Orange buses are local and make frequent stops along their routes.
• Red buses are express buses with longer distances between stops, but a faster ride if you are travelling a distance.
• Blue buses are less useful to tourists and targetted at commuters, they travel mainly between downtown and business districts.

Another option is to grab an   Uber ,  Lyft , or a taxi. There will typically be taxis waiting at the terminal, especially during peak embarkation and disembarkation times but if not you can give one of our   recommendations   a call.

LOS ANGELES WEATHER

In general, you’ll find the summers are hot and arid while the winters are long, cool and overcast. The best times to visit Galveston for warm-weather outdoor activities are April, May and November.

The hottest part of the year is from June until the middle of October with average daily high temperatures above 81°F (27°C). The cooler part of the year is the end of November to the middle of March with average daily high temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

LOS ANGELES VISITOR’S CENTER

The   Los Angeles Visitor’s Center  is a great place for even more, in-depth, information about many treasures found in LA, however, it is quite a distance from the cruise terminals.

MAIN LOCATION:    6801 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028

PHONE:  +1 323-467-6412

HOURS OF OPERATION:   Monday – Saturday: 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday: 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.   Please note though hours may be seasonal and subject to change so best to give them a call before visiting to confirm they are open.

Closer to the World Cruise Center, there is an office in San Pedro at  390 West 7th Street,  San Pedro, CA 90731 which is open  Monday – Friday: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

For the   Official Los Angeles Visitor’s Guide   click   here   to sign up to receive one by mail or instant download.  

FESTIVALS & EVENTS

Almost every day in Los Angeles there are events and activities taking place so you’re bound to find some fun things to do while you’re in town. Big annual events include   Tournament of Roses Parade   in January,  US Open of Surfing  in July/August, and   LA County Fair  in September. Maybe you’ll be in town when a new star is being unveiled on the   Hollywood Walk of Fame .

As these are big events for Los Angeles, if you are planning a cruise during these times it is best to book any hotels as far in advance as possible to get your desired accommodations.

Also, keep these dates in mind if you want to join in the fun, or come another time to enjoy a quieter LA.

While you’ll have plenty to eat aboard your cruise, you shouldn’t give up the chance to try some of the great things Los Angeles has to offer.

Being on the coast, fresh seafood is a given and there are several places to enjoy it if you’re a seafood lover. For those of you that aren’t, or you just want to try something else, Los Angeles offers cuisines from around the world.

A few great places not too far from the cruise terminals are:

Green Onion   – Offering Mexican   favourites , including their signature soft tacos, or delicious steaks to whet your appetite.

Sushi 21   – If you love sushi, then come for their all you can eat deal!

L’Opera    – Amazing dishes from Northern Italy including hand-made pasta.

Parkers’ Lighthouse  – Delicious fresh seafood with views across the water and a two-story wine cellar.

With so many movie stars to cater for, there is no shortage of shopping on offer in Los Angeles. From boutique stores to high street favourites, LA has all shopping requirements covered.

If you want high-end shopping them the famous   Rodeo Drive   could be perfect.

The Grove   is a large shopping centre which even has its own trolley which takes you from The Grove to the Original Farmer’s Market.

For Outlet shopping, we suggest the   Citadel   which boasts 130 brand name stores for your shopping pleasure.

And for delicious food from around the world, the   Original Farmer’s Market   has 100 gourmet grocers and other retailers to delight your palate.

12+ Convenient Los Angeles & Long Beach Hotels with Cruise Parking

If you are looking for a hotel near the Los Angeles and Long Beach cruise ports, one of the perks you should look for is cruise parking included with your stay. It’s one of the little-known secrets about saving money on a cruise… and it can save you hundreds of dollars.

The market for hotels is competitive, especially in a tourist destination like Los Angeles. That means hotels will often offer extra benefits in order to attract more guests. 

Parking at the port can be a pretty hefty price on top of your cruise fare. Fares run $20 a day at the Port of Los Angeles and $23 at the Port of Long Beach . That means for a week of parking, you can expect to pay at least $140 .

But if you are staying in the area, then you can find a hotel that offers a cruise parking package. These packages include parking in your hotel fare, typically for an amount that’s a little more than the regular room rate, but less than parking at the cruise port. In addition, they will often include transportation back and forth from your ship.

To be sure, if you don’t plan on staying at a hotel the night before, then doing it just for the parking isn’t worth the added expense. But if you are going to stay somewhere, we suggesting finding a place with cruise parking to save a few extra bucks.

Below we list more than a dozen options. Click each hotel name below to read recent reviews from real travelers. For parking packages you may have to book through the hotel website or call the hotel directly.

Los Angeles Cruise Hotels with Parking Packages (Near World Cruise Center)

These hotels are close to the Port of Los Angeles (World Cruise Center) in San Pedro. If you are sailing from the Port of Long Beach, see the list of hotels later in this article located closer to that port.

Best Western Los Angeles Worldport Hotel This hotel is less than 10 minutes away from your cruise ship. They offer cruise parking with the a “Park, Sleep, and Cruise” deal on the Best Western website. With this, you get a night’s stay and up to seven nights of parking. If you need to park longer than a week, it’s just $10 per day. There is no shuttle offered, but an Uber or Lyft would be cheap and easy given the short distance. 

• Distance to Port: 4 miles
• Review Rating: 4 out of 5

DoubleTree by Hilton San Pedro — Port of LA DoubleTree is always known for higher-end accommodations. This hotel meets that bar. Highly rated, the hotel sits right on a marina at the Port of Los Angeles, so you can watch the ships go in an out. The “Park and Go” package includes parking for the duration of cruise. Note that we had to call reservations to find this package and didn’t see it online. Parking is also available for $22 per day, but that’s more than the cruise port.

• Price: $$-$$$
• Distance to LA Port: 3 miles
• Review Rating: 4.0 out of 5

Crowne Plaza LA Harbor Hotel The Crowne Plaza offers its guests a “Cruise Package” that’s perfect for travelers needing a place to park for their cruise. The package runs about $70-$80 more than the cheapest room rate in our search, but includes parking for up to 15 nights, a round trip shuttle to the World Cruise Center, and breakfast for two people.

• Distance to Port: 1 mile

Vagabond Inn San Pedro This hotel sits just minutes from the cruise port and offers much cheaper parking than what it costs at the port. Here, you can book your room as normal, and then it’s $10 per night to park your car. That’s half the rate of parking at the port. As well, they offer a free shuttle to the World Cruise Center (though you will need to get a ride back to the hotel after the cruise). If sailing from Long Beach, you’ll need to find your own transportation with Uber/Lyft.

• Distance to Port: 1.5 miles
• Review Rating: 3.5 out of 5

Quality Inn Lomita-Los Angeles South Bay Just six miles from the World Cruise Center, this spot is good if you’re just looking for an unassuming hotel before your cruise. They offer a “Park and Cruise” deal that offers seven nights of parking and one-way shuttle to the cruise port. Going on a longer cruise? Then you can leave your car for an additional $10 per night. 

Note: This hotel informed us it no longer offers shuttle service to the port, however parking is available.

• Distance to Port: 6.0 miles

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Carson Want a nice spot to stay and included parking? It’s hard to beat this DoubleTree. It gets great reviews and is just 15 minutes away from the LA cruise port. When we called the hotel, they told us they offer a “Cruise and Park” package with seven nights parking and a shuttle to the port. However, we had trouble finding it online, so it might take a call to reservations. That said, the hotel lists parking at just $10 per night, or half the price of the cruise port.

• Distance to Port: 9.0 miles

Long Beach Hotels with Cruise Parking Packages

Sailing on a Carnival cruise? You’ll sail from the Port of Long Beach. The hotels below are near the port and many offer shuttle service. You can also use these to park and head to the Port of LA, which is about another 10 minutes away from Long Beach.

Hilton Long Beach With close proximity to the cruise port and a large parking lot adjacent, the Hilton Long Beach is a perfect spot for a park and cruise deal. In fact, they offer a “Park Stay and Go” that includes parking for up to seven nights, along with a round trip ride to the Long Beach airport. However, if going to the cruise port, you can still park. Best of all, our price checks showed a parking package rate of about $50 over the base rate. So for about the cost of two day’s parking at the port, you can get a week of parking here.

• Distance to Port: 2.5 miles

Hotel Maya Perhaps the most “high-end” hotel on our list, Hotel Maya is right on the bay and just about half a mile from the Port of Long Beach Cruise Terminal. The well-reviewed spot has a “Bon Voyage Park & Cruise” deal that includes parking for up to a week and a shuttle to and from the Long Beach Cruise Terminal. That’s a much better deal than the $23 per night the Port of Long Beach charges for parking. 

• Distance to Port: 0.5 miles

Residence Inn Long Beach Downtown Highly rated and only a mile from the Port of Long Beach terminal, this hotel is a smart choice if you want to stay near the port. Expect to spend a little more as we found rates starting in the $200-range. For parking, they have a “Park and Sail” package for about $50 over the base rate. This offer includes parking for $15 per day while you cruise, about 35% off the rate at the port just down the street.

• Distance to Port: 1 miles

Best Western Plus at the Convention Center Right near the waterfront in Long Beach, you’re only about 10 minutes from the Port of Long Beach with this hotel. When we called, they specified they don’t have an official parking package, but you can leave your car in the garage. Unfortunately, the charge is $25 per day. That’s $2 per day more than parking at the at the cruise port.

• Review Rating: 4.5 out of 5

Residence Inn Long Beach (Airport) Need somewhere that’s more affordable to stay but still offers parking? Long Beach Airport is about 20 minutes away from the cruise port, but offers a number of hotels with parking at reasonable rates. This Residence Inn offers a “Park Here” deal that includes seven nights of parking. While it’s meant for those headed to the airport, there’s no reason you can’t use it for the cruise port. You will need to arrange an Uber or Lyft to the cruise ship.

• Distance to Port: 8.5 miles

Holiday Inn: Long Beach Airport Another option near the airport, this hotel gets good reviews and won’t break the bank. They offer a “Park Stay & Go” package that is designed for airport or cruise travelers. You can park for eight days with the deal, and then it includes transportation to/from the airport. We found the deal for about $60 more than the base rate, making it the same cost as about three days of parking at the Port of Long Beach.

Staybridge Suites: Long Beach Airport Literally right next to the Holiday Inn mentioned above, this is an ideal spot if you want a room with a little more space, since the hotel offers suites. Stay here and you can book the “Park Stay & Go” package. This includes parking for eight days, plus a ride to and from the cruise port. In our search, we found rates about $70 more per night, so this deal makes sense on cruises of a week or more.

What if you need parking for longer than a week?

You’ll want to call the hotel to inquire.

Best Western Los Angeles Worldport Hotel, has free parking but no shuttle to Pier. They also have Military Room Rates, Active & Veterans. We have stayed there before and are book for April.

After doing research for all hotels listed above, I found the best price Hotel Current “Snooze & Cruise package” $169.00 1 night stay with 7 Free days for parking. They also provide shuttle back and forth from hotel to the port. Please add this hotel to you list. Thanks

Hello, can you please add The Cove Hotel? Their Park and Cruise Long Beach hotel package includes a one-night stay in a standard guestroom parking for up to 7 days, and transportation to the Long Beach Cruise Terminal starting at $179.

What if you are flying to port destinations Can you get the package if you are going to airport?

Little confused. Why would you need cruise parking if you are flying in?

Also, add “Hotel Current” to this list. Free cruise parking, free cruise shuttle, free breakfast… $169 ($20 more than their regular rate of $149). Its the only decently rated park/cruise package I can find at a reasonable price.

Just called Best Western San Pedro… NO FREE cruise parking available. ALL cruise parking is $10/day. Please update your website to correct the information accordingly. Thanks!

You call these companies and they pull the bail and switch routine. There should be a law against it but in these United States nothing is right. You call the hotels and they bump it up the price.

Keep in mind that rates will change depending on dates. It may be higher (or lower) than what’s listed here.

• RV Destinations  | 

A road trip from Los Angeles to Las Vegas is more than just a drive through the desert; it’s an adventure filled with stunning landscapes, quirky attractions, and unforgettable experiences. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler, hitting the road in an RV rental from Cruise America offers the flexibility to explore at your own pace, with all the comforts of home on wheels. This guide will take you through a detailed itinerary that covers the best stops, scenic routes, and hidden gems along the way.

Start your road trip bright and early by picking up your RV from Cruise America's Los Angeles (Carson) rental location . After a quick orientation and loading up your essentials, hit the road with excitement. The drive from Los Angeles to Las Vegas typically takes about four hours without stops, but why rush when there’s so much to see along the way?

Afternoon: Lunch at Cajon Pass

As you leave the urban sprawl of Los Angeles behind, your first scenic stop is Cajon Pass.

Next, explore the nearby Mojave River Valley Museum to delve into the region’s cultural and natural history.

Afternoon: Calico Ghost Town

A true highlight of your trip is the Calico Ghost Town, located just outside Barstow.

The town offers plenty of RV parking, making it easy to explore without worrying about where to leave your vehicle.

Located just 30 miles southeast of the city, the Hoover Dam offers guided tours that take you inside the massive structure. Nearby, Lake Mead offers opportunities for boating, fishing, and picnicking, making it a perfect afternoon getaway.

Evening: Entertainment in Las Vegas

Return to Las Vegas in the evening and indulge in the city’s world-renowned entertainment. Whether it’s catching a Cirque du Soleil show, dining at a celebrity chef’s restaurant, or trying your luck at the casinos, there’s something for everyone.

Evening: Return the RV

As your road trip comes to an end, drop off the RV rental at Cruise America’s Las Vegas location and spend a moment to reflect on the incredible journey you've just completed. 

Why Take a Road Trip from LA to Las Vegas?

Several airlines fly direct from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, but instead of hopping on a flight from LAX to Harry Reid International Airport why not take an RV road trip? Instead of being cramped in the middle seat on cheap flights, an RV allows you to slow down and truly enjoy the journey. Taking a road trip from Los Angeles to Las Vegas offers a unique and rewarding experience for several reasons:

1. Scenic Beauty

The drive from Los Angeles to Las Vegas takes you through diverse landscapes, from the urban sprawl of LA to the stunning desert scenery of the Mojave Desert. You’ll pass through mountain ranges, expansive deserts, and picturesque valleys, offering plenty of opportunities for photography and nature appreciation.

2. Flexibility and Freedom

Unlike flying, a road trip gives you the flexibility to stop wherever and whenever you want. You can explore hidden gems, take detours to interesting attractions, and set your own pace. Whether you’re traveling with family, friends, or solo, an RV trip allows you to create your own adventure.

3. Unique Attractions

The route between Los Angeles and Las Vegas is dotted with fascinating attractions. From the historic Route 66 in Victorville to the Calico Ghost Town near Barstow, there’s a wealth of history and quirky stops that add character to your journey. The world’s tallest thermometer in Baker and the Mojave National Preserve are also must-see spots along the way.

4. Comfort and Convenience

Traveling in an RV from Cruise America means you have all the comforts of home on the road. With a kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping quarters at your disposal, you can enjoy a comfortable journey without the need to search for hotels or restaurants. It’s an especially convenient option for families and groups.

5. Cost-Effective Travel

When you factor in the cost of airfare, hotels, and dining out, a road trip in an RV can be a more economical way to travel. You save on accommodation costs by sleeping in your RV, and you can prepare your own meals, which is often cheaper than eating out.

6. Adventure and Exploration

A road trip is about the journey as much as the destination. The drive from Los Angeles to Las Vegas offers a sense of adventure, with each stop bringing something new to discover. It’s a chance to explore off-the-beaten-path locations, enjoy outdoor activities, and experience the open road.

7. Memorable Experiences

Whether it’s watching the sunrise over the desert, exploring a ghost town, or seeing the lights of Las Vegas for the first time, a road trip creates lasting memories. The shared experiences of the road bring people closer together, making the journey a special part of your travel story.

8. Escape the Ordinary

For those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life, a road trip provides a refreshing change of pace. The vastness of the desert and the tranquility of the open road offer a sense of freedom and escape that’s hard to find elsewhere.

9. Connection with Nature

The route takes you close to several natural wonders, such as the Mojave National Preserve and Red Rock Canyon. These spots offer opportunities for hiking, wildlife viewing, and simply enjoying the beauty of nature, making the trip appealing for outdoor enthusiasts.

10. The Destination: Las Vegas

While the journey is incredible, the destination is equally exciting. Las Vegas, with its world-class entertainment, dining, and attractions, offers something for everyone. Whether you’re into shows, nightlife, or simply soaking up the vibrant atmosphere, Las Vegas is the perfect capstone to your road trip.

A road trip from Los Angeles to Las Vegas is about much more than getting from point A to point B. It’s an opportunity to explore, connect with nature, enjoy comfort and convenience, and create unforgettable memories along the way.
