Before You Board
Located in the Port of Los Angeles, the World Cruise Center is in the historic waterfront community of San Pedro, just steps from restaurants, shops and attractions for all ages. You can stroll over to Ports O' Call Marketplace and enjoy shopping in the international boutiques, art galleries and artist studios, peruse the historic and maritime museums, and dine on the LA waterfront as ships from around the world sail past.
Transportation to the World Cruise Center in San Pedro
As the West Coast gateway to North America and the seventh busiest airport in the world, Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) -- located just 18 miles north of San Pedro -- offers tremendous nonstop service from all around the world. Getting from the airport to the cruise port is simple, too, with LA’s variety of transportation options. If you’re flying into and out of LAX, you can catch a door-to-door SuperShuttle van right outside the baggage claim area at the designated “van stop” area. You can also rent a car at the airport’s on-site rental car counter and park in the spacious parking area at the World Cruise Center.
Getting Around San Pedro
Getting around San Pedro is easy, with convenient access to several Metro bus lines and ample public parking.
