History
San Pedro and Long Beach developed as major Pacific gateways in the 20th century—shipbuilding, oil and container shipping shaped the region’s growth and working-harbor culture.
Conservation
Both ports work with regional air quality and water-quality programs; avoid idling, pack out trash at terminals, and support local harbor cleanup initiatives to reduce coastal pollution.

Confirm Pickup 48 Hours Ahead
Contact the operator to reconfirm your cruise pick-up time and hotel drop-off at least 48 hours before travel to avoid delays or cancellations.
Bring a Child Car Seat

Pack a Small Carry-On
Keep travel documents, medications and valuables with you rather than in checked luggage—drivers load large bags into the van’s hold.

Child Car Seat
Required for infants and small children—operators do not supply seats.
