Drop-Off & Parking
How much is parking at Pier 35?
The same position applies here: the Port states that temporary or overnight parking is not provided at the cruise terminals, and names Metropolis at 55 Francisco Street and 80 Francisco Street as the cruise parking. Those garages are marginally closer to Pier 35 than to Pier 27. Everything on the Pier 27 page about them holds — a prepaid, dated cruise reservation rather than a drive-up, a $21.60 published drive-up daily maximum against a 7:00pm closing time, a 6-foot-5 clearance at 80 Francisco and 7 feet at 55 Francisco, and the Port's own advice to confirm with the operator before you travel.
Where do you drop off passengers at Pier 35?
Pier 35 is the Port's second cruise berth, on the same northern stretch of The Embarcadero about a 6-8 minute walk north of Pier 27 by the Port's own measure. The nearest streetcar stop is The Embarcadero/Bay Street, one stop further up the F Market line than the Pier 27 stop. Worth knowing when you plan the arrival: the Port's cruise page gives Pier 35 no drop-off sentence of its own — the line about taxis and vehicles dropping passengers at the terminal hall entrance sits inside its Pier 27 paragraph — so confirm the arrangement with your cruise line rather than assuming the two piers work identically. The parking and luggage statements are written about the cruise terminals in the plural, and so cover this one.

What should you know before check-in at Pier 35?
- Finish your cruise line's online check-in before you travel — every line calling here runs its own window, its own arrival appointments and its own app.
- Check which pier your ship uses. The Port berths most calls at Pier 27 and about one in eight at Pier 35, and your booking documents name the berth.
- There is no parking at either terminal and no luggage storage, so sort the Francisco Street garages before you drive in rather than on the day.
- Arrive inside your own line's arrival window. San Francisco turns two ships on one morning several times a year, and the windows are what shape the queue.
- The Port's own tariff calls Pier 27 the primary passenger terminal and says it may elect to offer an alternative berth; across its published 2026 and 2027 schedules, 78 calls a year work Pier 27 and 11 work Pier 35.
- The garages the Port names want a prepaid, dated cruise reservation rather than a drive-up: they close at 7:00pm, and the operator's own lot record bars overnight parking except for booked cruise passengers.

What's near Pier 35 for last-minute needs?
Pier 35 puts you closer to Fisherman's Wharf than Pier 27 does, which changes what is within reach: Trader Joe's at 401 Bay Street is about seven minutes on foot, and Pier 39 with its shops and the sea lion docks is a short walk further. Luggage storage is not offered here either. One thing specific to this pier is worth checking if you have time before boarding — the SS Jeremiah O'Brien, the last operational World War II Liberty ship, is berthed at Pier 35, and its own visit page notes that afternoon tours may be available on cruise dates, which reads as a caution that access narrows when a ship is alongside.

Local Tip
Pier 35 is the Port of San Francisco's second cruise berth, about a 6-8 minute walk north of Pier 27 on the same stretch of The Embarcadero, with The Embarcadero/Bay Street the nearest streetcar stop. The Port's own tariff sets out the relationship: Pier 27 is the primary passenger cruise ship terminal, and the Port may elect to offer an alternative berth. In practice that means roughly one call in eight — 11 of the 89 vessel calls in each of the Port's published 2026 and 2027 schedules work Pier 35, and the rest work Pier 27 — so read your booking documents rather than assuming. Everything about parking is the same as at Pier 27, because the Port writes it about the cruise terminals in the plural: no parking at the pier, Metropolis at 55 and 80 Francisco Street instead, and no luggage storage. The one thing the Port does not publish for Pier 35 is a drop-off sentence of its own; the line about vehicles dropping passengers at the terminal hall entrance appears only in its Pier 27 paragraph, so confirm the arrangement with your cruise line. If you have an hour before check-in, the SS Jeremiah O'Brien, the last operational World War II Liberty ship, is berthed at this pier, though its own visit page warns that afternoon tours may be the only ones running on cruise dates.
