Founded in 1706 on the banks of the Patapsco River, the Port of Baltimore has grown to become one of the busiest ports on the East Coast of the United States. Originally established to transport farmers’ crops along the Eastern seaboard, as well as cargoes to and from international destinations, today the port thrives on diversity.
Convenient is the word that comes to mind quickest when discussing the new Baltimore cruise terminal on its South Locust Point Terminal. Easily seen and uniquely located about 200 yards right off I-95, the “main street” of the U.S. East Coast, the cruise terminal enjoys marquee visibility as over 44 million cars annually drive past it. It is only 2.5 miles from downtown Baltimore, 10 miles from BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport, 30 miles from Annapolis, and within an hour of Washington, DC.
Twenty-nine Royal Caribbean cruises beginning on May 13 dot Baltimore cruise terminal’s 2007 cruise calendar. Royal Caribbean’s Grandeur of the Seas will leave Baltimore for trips to Bermuda, the Eastern Caribbean, and for the first time, a trip to New England and Canada. In addition to the 29 Royal Caribbean cruises, Baltimore will also receive four port call visits.
Cruise Terminal Address: 2001 E. McComas Street; Baltimore, MD 21230
