Thanks to the growing number of cruise ports across the US more people are able to drive to the port instead of dealing with the hassle and extra expense associated with flying. However driving has it's own expenses including the cost of gas to drive the port and then parking fees once you get there. Below we provide tools and information to help budget for these costs when planning a cruise vacation.
Use the driving cost calculator below to estimate the fuel cost for driving and driving directions to your port of departure. The fuel calculator will also display the cheapest airfare so you can see if it's cheaper to fly or drive to the cruise port. After determining transportation cost then find the port parking fees listed below and add them to the driving costs.
