World Cruise Center
Located in the San Pedro District beneath the Vincent Thomas Bridge, The Port of Los Angeles hosts recreational transportation with the largest cruise ship terminal on the West Coast of the United States. The newly renovated World Cruise Center supports three passenger ship berths transporting over 1 million passengers annually. It is claimed to be "the nation's most secure cruise passenger complex". Its vast 2560 space long term parking lot is patrolled continuously by port security. Courtesy shuttles transport passengers with their luggage between the parking lot and the terminal complex on arrival and departure days. The World Cruise Center accommodates a wide variety of transportation, including Rental Car, Tour Bus, Limousine and Taxi services. The World Cruise Center is linked to attractions Ports O' Call and the Maritime Museum by a new pedestrian esplanade featuring public art and fountains as well as connections to the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium and other San Pedro attractions when using the Waterfront Red Car trolley/shuttle.
The Queen Mary 2 is the largest cruise ship ever to sail from Los Angeles.
