Hot Tip: 💡 During the current temporary check-in period, passenger parking is at the Clarion Hotel in Essington at $16/day — not at the pier itself. Confirm your parking location with NCL before you arrive.

Parking at PhilaPort

Parking options for Philadelphia cruise passengers are straightforward, though the current construction situation means arrangements differ slightly from a typical port departure. Here is what you need to know.

Current Parking Situation (Spring 2026)

While the permanent terminal is under construction, Norwegian Cruise Line is directing passengers to check in at the Clarion Hotel Philadelphia International Airport (76 Industrial Hwy, Essington). Parking at this location is available at $16 per day. Staff will be on-site to assist with parking and direct you to the check-in area. After check-in, NCL shuttles take you to the ship.

Long-Term Parking Options

For passengers driving to Philadelphia for their cruise, several longer-term parking options exist near the port and airport area:

  • Park at the Clarion Hotel (current check-in location): $16/day, on-site at your check-in point — the most convenient option right now.
  • Philadelphia International Airport area lots: Several off-site parking facilities near PHL offer competitive weekly rates, typically $60–$100/week, with shuttle service. Good for longer sailings.
  • Park & Cruise hotel packages: Some area hotels offer stay-and-park packages where you stay the night before, leave your car for the duration of your cruise, and get transportation to the port. See our Park & Cruise Hotels page for details.

Tips for Parking at PhilaPort

  • Book parking in advance for peak season sailings — availability can be limited.
  • Budget $16/day for on-site parking during the current temporary arrangement.
  • Compare off-site airport area lots for longer sailings — weekly rates can save significantly over daily rates.
  • Keep your parking receipt and note the lot address before heading to check-in.
