Cruise port driving directions, parking, hotels and cruise ship schedules.
There’s nothing better than being able to get in your car and drive to a cruise port. Of course you’ll save money on airfare. Even if you factor in gas, hotels and parking, it still can be a better deal if you live close enough to the cruise port. Some ports have an online option to prepay for their parking, including off site parking. No more long lines at the exit window at the cruise terminal parking structures.
The cruise ports listed below are the most widely used embarkation ports for ocean cruises. However, New Orleans is also home to Mississippi river cruise companies; among them are American Cruise Line, American Queen Steamboat Company and French America Line.
Below are driving directions to cruise ports in the USA. There’s also general port information to help simplify your cruise vacation. Most of the ports’ sites also list nearby hotels and restaurants.
Almost 20 years ago, I created what became an award-winning cruise blog. In 2024, a scam artist conned me into selling it to him but I was never paid. Then he sold it and kept those proceeds. So I started this new site to continue my love for cruising. My newest passion is traveling around the US and Canada with my little dog Poppy, in my Travato camper van. I hope my articles and photos entertain, advise and inspire you to explore this amazing world. Visit TravelUpClose.com for all of my train articles, and ReadyGoHike.com for you outdoor enthusiasts.
