Baltimore Cruise Terminal Address & Directions
South Locust Point Cruise Terminal (Cruise Maryland Terminal) — 2001 East McComas Street, Baltimore, MD
From the north, the terminal can be reached via I-95 South through the Ft. McHenry Tunnel. Keep to the right lane and take Exit 55 on Key Highway, then turn left at the traffic light on East McComas Street. Signs will direct you to the terminal entrance on the right.
Baltimore's port is quite small, so check-in can be fast and simple. The cruise terminal parking lot is located right next door, within easy walking distance. There is plenty of staff outside to collect luggage and inside to check you in.
Baltimore Embarkation Tips
Cruises from Baltimore
Ships must travel 8–10 hours from open water up the Chesapeake Bay and under two bridges to get in and out of Baltimore's harbor. Due to maximum clearance restrictions under the bridges, only smaller cruise ships can sail in and out of Baltimore.
