Los Angeles, California

Port Los Angeles stands apart from other cruise gateways by pairing a front-row seat to Hollywood glamour with dramatic Pacific horizons. As ships glide into the World Cruise Center in San Pedro, guests are minutes away from experiencing the cinematic heartbeat of Southern California - walkable access to beaches, iconic landmarks, and a food-and-freedom-first vibe that few ports can match. Signature experiences begin even before departure: easy access to pre- or post-cruise explorations of Santa Monica Pier sunsets, a stroll along the Hollywood Boulevard corridor for star sightings, or a day trip to Catalina Island for glassy coves and whale-watching. The port's itineraries showcase the region's best destinations: Ensenada, Cabo San Lucas, and Puerto Vallarta on the Mexican Riviera, plus intimate Catalina overnights and scenic Pacific coast routes that let you wake up to dramatic coastlines. The fleet that calls here spans mid-size boutique ships to modern megaships, each delivering expansive decks, water features, diverse dining concepts, and family- and spa-friendly amenities that ensure options for every traveler. Onboard services emphasize comfort and convenience - from high-speed Wi-Fi and 24/7 room service to chef-driven dining experiences, enrichment programs, and world-class entertainment. All of this converges to create a cruise experience that feels closer to a glam film-set and farther from a typical port visit, giving Port Los Angeles a uniquely cinematic edge in the world of cruising.
