Which cruise ports are closest to South Jersey?
The closest cruise port to South Jersey is the new PhilaPort Cruise Terminal at 4 Atlantic Avenue, next to PHL, which opened on August 27, 2026, about 15 road miles from Pennsauken. Cape Liberty in Bayonne and the New York terminals are 83 to 91 miles north.
From Pennsauken, the Philadelphia terminal is across the Walt Whitman Bridge and along I-76 and Route 291, the same way as the airport. Norwegian Cruise Line is the line there: Norwegian Jewel sails from Philadelphia through September 26, 2026, and Norwegian Pearl arrives in November 2026 for sailings through April 2028, according to PhilaPort’s opening announcement.
For a Celebrity sailing from Bayonne, or a ship out of Manhattan or Brooklyn, the car runs up the New Jersey Turnpike from Route 73, which avoids crossing back into Pennsylvania. Baltimore, where Carnival sails year round, is 105 miles south over the Delaware Memorial Bridge. More on the new terminal is on the Philadelphia cruise page.

Embarkation day at the PhilaPort Cruise Terminal
Vehicles dropping off embarking guests will not be able to access the Cruise Terminal before 9:30 AM. There is no passenger parking available at the PhilaPort Cruise Terminal.
No parking is the strongest reason to be dropped off rather than drive yourself. We time a Pennsauken pickup to reach the terminal after the 9:30 a.m. opening, and on the way home we collect you at the terminal once you have fully disembarked, which the port says is generally between 7:00 and 9:30 a.m.
