Bring the real trip details
Include your flight number, cruise date, passenger count and a realistic luggage estimate. Those details make it easier to plan the right pickup and vehicle before travel day.
LAX TO LONG BEACH CRUISE TERMINAL
Start your cruise with a private ride from LAX.
Skip the airport-to-port shuffle. City Cruze LA provides pre-arranged private transportation from LAX to the Long Beach Cruise Terminal, with room to plan for your group, bags and travel day.
A BETTER FIRST LEG
From baggage claim to your cruise terminal, with one clear plan.
Getting from LAX to Long Beach is not just about finding a car after a flight. Cruise guests are often managing bags, children, a boarding window and the need to arrive without guessing where the pickup will happen.
With City Cruze LA, your ride is arranged before you land. Your vehicle is reserved for your group, your flight details help guide the pickup plan, and your driver communicates directly with you once you are ready at the curb.
That means no shared-route stops, no unfamiliar transfer instructions and no splitting your party between vehicles just to get to the terminal.
Plan for the whole group
Traveling with children, older relatives or several large suitcases? Let us know when you request the ride. Child seats and booster seats are available by advance request.
Keep your phone available
Your driver uses direct communication to coordinate the final LAX curbside pickup. After bags are collected, share your terminal and pillar number so the vehicle can approach when you are ready.
PRIVATE FOR YOUR PARTY
Travel together, with the space your trip needs.
Airport and cruise luggage can change what works for a group. A family of four with several suitcases, a stroller and child seats has different needs than a couple with carry-ons or a group traveling together for a sailing.
Tell us your passenger count, luggage plan and any child-seat needs when you request your ride. We will help match the vehicle to the real trip, not just the number of seats on paper.
City Cruze LA offers a practical private minivan option and a premium large SUV option for travelers who want more passenger and luggage space. Larger groups can request a custom quote.

BEFORE YOU LAND
Pickup planning
Share your airline, flight number, arrival date, terminal if known, cruise departure date, passenger count and luggage needs. Flight monitoring helps keep the pickup plan aligned with your actual arrival.
AFTER YOU LAND
Clear curbside coordination
Collect your bags, then follow the driver’s instructions to the LAX Lower/Arrivals Level white curb. City Cruze LA is authorized for pre-arranged curbside pickup, so you do not need to take the LAX-it shuttle.

TRAVEL DAY DETAILS
Give yourself enough room for the airport and the port.
Your pickup begins after you land, complete any required arrival steps and collect your luggage. International travelers should allow time for immigration, customs and baggage claim before heading to the curb.
Once you are ready, message your driver with your terminal and pillar number. Your driver will coordinate the final approach based on airport traffic and LAX curb access rules. That direct communication is especially useful when a cruise check-in time is waiting on the other end of the trip.
International visitors can also use WhatsApp to stay connected after arrival. Add the number you prefer when requesting your transportation.
HOW THE TRANSFER WORKS
Simple steps for a calmer airport-to-cruise day.
A clear plan gives every traveler in your group the same next step, from the airport curb to the cruise terminal.
- 01
Request your LAX to Long Beach transfer
Send your travel date, flight information, cruise terminal destination, passenger count, bags and child-seat needs. If you need a return ride after your cruise, include that as well.
- 02
Receive your reservation details
City Cruze LA reviews the trip details and confirms the right private transportation plan for your group. Your pickup is arranged before travel day, rather than left to a last-minute curbside search.
- 03
Land, collect your luggage and stay in touch
Your flight is monitored. After baggage claim, keep your phone available for driver communication and follow the curbside instructions sent for your arrival.
- 04
Ride directly to the Long Beach Cruise Terminal
Your party rides together in a private vehicle to the terminal. There are no shared passenger stops along the way, so the trip stays focused on getting your group and bags to the port.
MAKING A LONGER TRIP EASIER
One local ride company for airport, cruise and Southern California plans.
Some cruise trips start with an overnight near LAX, a few days at Disneyland or a hotel stay in Los Angeles. Others end with a flight home from LAX and an early terminal departure.
City Cruze LA can help with the transportation between those pieces. Ask about private airport transfers, Disneyland and Anaheim rides, hotel transportation, post-cruise return rides and customized Los Angeles transportation while your group is in town.
Keeping the plan with one local company makes it easier to share travel details and choose the right vehicle for each leg.
