Here is a complete list of US Cruise Ship Ports We've also included a map. This should help find your nearest options for cruise daparture ports.
When deciding which cruise is perfect for your next vacation, one of the most important factors is "departure port." We're constantly asked the following.
What is the closest cruise ship port to me?
Here below is every U.S. departure port
Many cruisers start our search based on closest port. In an ideal world, our cruise would depart from one of the U.S. cruise port within driving distance.
Once we get out of range, we have to start planning flights, ubers, and hotels. That adds a whole level of complexity and additional costs that we'd prefer to avoid.
Check out the map and list below to find your closest cruise port.
Make sure to pin that list to your "Cruise Search" board for easy reference!
