Beginning September 2009 the Port of Baltimore will have three cruise lines sailing from the port; Norwegian Cruse Lines, Royal Caribbean Cruise Line, and just recently announced, Carnival Cruise Line. In fact, Carnival Cruise Lines will be the first to offer a year-round cruise program from the Port of Baltimore with the Carnival Pride. Currently, Norwegian Cruise Lines and Royal Caribbean Cruise Line sail from Baltimore several months each year.
The Port of Baltimore welcomed a brand new cruise terminal in 2006. The new terminal is just 200 yards off Interstate 95 making it a convenient drive-to port of embarkation and it has on-site convenient parking. Royal Caribbean’s passengers have been so pleased with their boarding experience at the Port of Baltimore that Royal Caribbean awarded the port with its worldwide “Best First-Turn” award for customer satisfaction during the pre-board experience at a port. Baltimore topped all international cruse ports served by Royal Caribbean to win this honor.
With over 40 million people living within a six-hour drive of Baltimore, coupled with it’s close proximity to Washington, DC and Annapolis, MD for pre or post cruise mini-vacations, the Port of Baltimore is destined to become a very popular East Coast Cruise Port.
