Ranked on starting fares checked 2026-10-23, divided by the number of nights. This shows how far the money goes, not how good the ship is, and we don't hold ratings or reviews. The port count is there so you can weigh a cheap trip with lots of sea days against a busier one. Fares change, so check the current price with the cruise line.

Do I need a passport to cruise from San Diego?
On a round trip that starts and ends in San Diego, U.S. citizens can usually sail with a birth certificate and a government photo ID. Each line has its own rules, and a passport is still the safer choice. Our documents guide has the details.
Which terminal will my ship use?
Most ships use the B Street Pier and Cruise Ship Terminal, 1140 North Harbor Drive. Disney, Holland America, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian give that address. The port's second terminal, the Port Pavilion on Broadway Pier, serves as a terminal when B Street already has two ships. Your cruise documents name the terminal. The terminals guide has drop-off and arrival times.
Are there adults-only or all-inclusive cruises from San Diego?
Disney, Royal Caribbean and Holland America, which run most sailings from San Diego, all take babies from 6 months old on most sailings, so none of them is adults-only. The fares we show are the cheapest cabin fare with taxes and port fees, not an all-inclusive package.
How far ahead is the San Diego schedule published?
Our list runs to May 2028. The last few months are thinner because not every line has published that far ahead yet.
