Port of Los Angeles Cruise Terminal RFP
Port of Los Angeles issued a request for proposals for the construction and operation of a new Outer Harbor Cruise Terminal and redevelopment and operation of the World Cruise Center.
Scope of Work
‘We have seen increased demand for cruises out of the LA Waterfront over the last several years, with a record 1.3 million cruise passengers in 2023,’ Port Executive Director Gene Seroka said. ‘With more growth forecast, these projects will allow us to greatly expand our cruise business capacity while providing the best possible experience and convenience for cruise travelers.’
Outer Harbor Cruise Terminal
The proposed new Outer Harbor Cruise Terminal site — a cornerstone project in the recently approved San Pedro Waterfront Connectivity Plan — is located at 3011 Dave Arian Way in San Pedro and includes Berths 46 to 50.
The site consists of 13 acres of backland, two wharves and 20 acres of associated potential off-site parking with an estimated 2,300 spaces. For this new proposed terminal, the port is seeking a flexible design to accommodate a variety of additional non-cruise revenue-producing uses in the off-season, such as filming, conferences and events.
World Cruise Terminal redevelopment
The existing World Cruise Center to be redeveloped is located at 100 Swinford Street in San Pedro. The terminal site consists of 22 acres, including parking, two cruise berths (90-93), two terminal buildings and a baggage handling structure.
Ports America is the current operator.

Submission Information
Lastly, the deadline to submit proposals is due at 3:00pm on Tuesday November 12, 2024.
