Drop-Off & Parking
How much is parking at Los Angeles World Cruise Center?
Parking is run for the Port by Parking Concepts, Inc. (PCI) in secured lots at the terminal — 2,560 spaces across the Port's three PCI-managed cruise locations, open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with no reservation required. The rate is free for the first hour and $2 an hour after that, capped at $23 a day for a standard vehicle and $40 a day for an oversized one. These are surface lots with no posted height limit, which makes this one of the few West Coast cruise ports a roof box or a tall van can use, but there is no in/out access once you are parked and you pay on the way out. Cash, traveler's cheques and cards are all accepted. Free ADA-accessible shuttles run within the terminal on scheduled ship days.
Where do you drop off passengers at Los Angeles World Cruise Center?
The terminal is at Berth 93, 100 Swinford Street, San Pedro, at the foot of the I-110. From LAX, take I-405 south, then I-110 south; from downtown Los Angeles, take I-110 south the whole way. Either way, exit at Harbor Boulevard, go straight through the Harbor Boulevard intersection, and turn right into the World Cruise Center. Coming from Long Beach you cross the other way — Ocean Boulevard to Seaside Avenue to the Vincent Thomas Bridge (CA-47), then the same Harbor Boulevard exit. Drop passengers and luggage in front of the terminal with the porters first, then go and park: Parking Concepts recommends it, and the courtesy shuttle back from the lots is a great deal easier without bags.

What should you know before check-in at Los Angeles World Cruise Center?
- Finish your cruise line's online check-in before you leave home. More than a dozen lines work this terminal, each with its own window and its own app.
- Bring proof of citizenship plus a government-issued photo ID — a driver's license on its own is not accepted, REAL ID or not. A passport covers both. On a closed-loop sailing that starts and ends in Los Angeles, a state-issued birth certificate alongside your photo ID also works, and children under 16 need only the birth certificate
- Arrive inside the arrival window your own line gave you — on a busy morning two or three ships load here at once, and those windows are what shape the queue.
- Your booking documents name your berth. Nearly every sailing works Berth 92 or Berth 93 at the World Cruise Center itself, but the Port also berths the occasional very large or very small ship at Berth 46 or Berth 50, which are separate locations — check before you set the navigation
- Drop passengers and bags in front of the terminal before you park: the courtesy shuttle back from the lots runs on scheduled ship days only.

Local Tip
The Los Angeles World Cruise Center is at 100 Swinford Street, Berth 93, and the Port's own instruction is short: from the 110 southbound, exit Harbor Boulevard, go straight through the intersection and turn right into the World Cruise Center. For the parking lot, enter at Swinford Street off Harbor Boulevard and veer right. Parking Concepts runs the lot at a $23 daily maximum for a standard vehicle and $40 for an oversized one, with the first hour free and $2 an hour after that. Nothing is reserved and nothing is prepaid — you take a ticket on the way in and pay on the way out — but the lot does not allow in/out access, so unload the car completely at the curb before you park. The Port recommends dropping passengers and luggage in front of the terminal first for exactly that reason. Cash in US dollars, traveler's checks and cards are all accepted. Bags cannot be stored at the terminal, so there is nowhere to leave a suitcase while you walk down to the Battleship IOWA or the West Harbor waterfront before check-in opens.
