Come see, hear, and feel the vibrant energy of the Port of Los Angeles — where every ship tells a story and the harbor never sleeps!
Exploring the Watery Heart of L.A.
With a unique perspective of California’s bustling port, Harbor Breeze Cruises’ excursions offer an up-close look at massive container ships, iconic landmarks, and playful marine life. A standard Los Angeles Harbor tour typically lasts around 45 to 60 minutes. You’ll enjoy a narrated exploration of the spot’s main channels and landmarks the entire time!
Given their close proximity, you might be wondering about the difference between a Los Angeles Harbor cruise and a Long Beach Harbor cruise. While both ports are part of the massive San Pedro Bay complex and offer views of impressive shipping operations, they have distinct departure points and proximity to popular attractions.
While some cruise operators might offer tours that encompass parts of both harbors, Harbor Breeze Cruises opts to provide a quintessential Port of Los Angeles experience, which features the massive battleship USS Iowa. If the Queen Mary is what you want to see, though, then a Long Beach departure probably makes the most sense.
Booking your cruise is easy. We recommend reserving your tickets in advance online, especially during weekends and holidays when spots fill quickly. Walk-up tickets may be available on a first-come, first-served basis, but availability is not guaranteed.
Group reservations, private charters, and special event bookings are also available upon request.
