LAX to Los Angeles Cruise Port Transfer: Private Vehicle for Groups

Relax with curbside pickup timed perfectly to your flight and luggage ready

A private transfer between Los Angeles International Airport and Carnival Cruise Port in Long Beach, with pickup and drop-off timed to your flight and ship departure. Choose from a sedan for up to three passengers, a minivan for up to five, or a van for up to nine, each configured for your luggage. The driver coordinates arrival time by email and meets you curbside once you have your bags.

The experience

The transfer runs between LAX and the cruise port roughly 35 minutes to an hour depending on traffic and time of day. You pick the vehicle that fits your group size and luggage: a Lincoln MKZ sedan holds up to three passengers with three pieces of luggage; an executive minivan takes up to five passengers with four check-in bags and two carry-on bags; a Ford Transit van seats up to nine with up to twelve check-in bags or a mix of checked and carry-on. The driver reaches out via email before your arrival to confirm the pickup time, so there's no guessing when to expect the car.

Curbside service means you don't hunt for a driver or wait in a staging area once you clear baggage claim or finish checking out of your hotel. The vehicle is air-conditioned and private to your party, so you're not sharing space or stops with other travelers. The route is direct: airport to port or port to airport, depending on which direction you're traveling.

What’s included

• Air-conditioned vehicle.
• private transportation for your group.

Top questions

How do I arrange the pickup time for my transfer?

The driver contacts you by email before your arrival to confirm when they'll meet you. You coordinate the time based on your flight landing or your hotel checkout, and they're waiting curbside when you're ready with your luggage.

Which vehicle should I book if I'm traveling with a family of four and two large suitcases?

The executive minivan fits up to five passengers and holds four check-in bags plus two carry-on bags, so it's the right choice for a family of four with standard luggage. If you have more bags, the Ford Transit van gives you up to twelve check-in bags.

Does the transfer include time to stop anywhere between the airport and the cruise port?

This is a direct transfer from LAX to Carnival Cruise Port in Long Beach or vice versa, with no intermediate stops included.

What happens if my flight is delayed or my ship departure time changes?

Contact the transfer service as soon as you know about the change. The driver coordinates pickup time by email, so you can update them with your new arrival or departure window.

Is the transfer available for both directions? Airport to cruise port and cruise port to airport?

Yes, the service runs both ways. You can book LAX to Carnival Port or Carnival Port to LAX, and you choose the vehicle size when you select your option at checkout.
