Fly & Cruise Hotels Near Port of Baltimore, Maryland
If you're flying in before your cruise, the hotels below are picked specifically because they run a reliable airport shuttle — land, get a good night's sleep, and get to the ship the next morning without arranging your own transportation.
- BWI (Baltimore/Washington International) — closest airport, ~10 miles northeast; ~20 min to the port by rideshare
- DCA (Reagan National) — ~45 miles south; workable if you're connecting from the DC area
- Best area to stay: Inner Harbor — midway between BWI and the terminal, great evening options
- Night before: Fells Point for bars and crab houses; Power Plant Live for live music and late-night dining
- Getting around: Some BWI hotels run complimentary airport shuttles; rideshare to Inner Harbor ~$25, then ~$15 more to the terminal next morning
BWI Airport is close enough to Baltimore's cruise terminal that many fly-cruise packages combine an airport-area hotel stay with a shuttle straight to the port the next morning, saving you a separate transfer into the city itself.
