New in 2026
Philadelphia’s new cruise terminal opened on August 27, 2026, in Tinicum Township next to Philadelphia International Airport, with Norwegian Cruise Line as its anchor line.
For cruisers flying in, the airport and the ship are now neighbours. For everyone else, it is a short drive down I-95 from Center City.

How does cruise terminal car service work?
Cruise terminal car service is a pre-booked private car that takes you and your luggage from home, a hotel or the airport to the cruise terminal on embarkation day, and collects you when the ship returns.
Cruise luggage is the reason to book a car rather than a rideshare. A week at sea means big cases, and a family of four rarely fits them in a standard car. The SUVs take six bags; the passenger van takes 15.
Not every sailing leaves from Philadelphia. We also drive to Cape Liberty in Bayonne, the Manhattan and Brooklyn cruise terminals, and the Port of Baltimore, priced before you book.
