The Port of Los Angeles | Winter Cruise Season 2012

We love our cruise ships!

If it’s winter that means prime-time for cruise calls at the Port of Los Angeles.  Even though Los Angeles is a year round cruise destination, the winter months mark the time when the port welcomes ships that normally make infrequent calls.
