Ways to narrow down cruises from Los Angeles

San Pedro or Long Beach?

Terminal guide

San Pedro berths come from the official Ports America schedule, and Long Beach from each sailing's own itinerary. 97 later San Pedro sailings don't show a berth yet.

The Vincent Thomas Bridge between the two ports closes on 7 November 2026. Caltrans plans to reopen it in early March 2028, so check your route before you drive. Our terminal guide has the detour.

This table takes the cheapest date on every ship and route and ranks them by fare per night, which is the fairest way to compare trips of different lengths. The median across the whole calendar is $106 a night.

Ranked on the starting fares listed here on 2026-11-02, divided by the number of nights. Each sailing shows the date its fare was checked. This shows how far the money goes, not how good the ship is, and we don't hold ratings or reviews. The port count is there so you can weigh a cheap trip with lots of sea days against a busier one. Fares change, so check the current price with the cruise line.
