About this site
SanDiegoCruiseSchedule is an independent schedule of cruises leaving the Port of San Diego. It lists 232 sailings on 13 ships from 7 cruise lines, from October 2026 to May 2028.
We don't sell cruises. There is no booking engine, account or newsletter here. Most fare buttons go to Cruisebound, a cruise booking site, which pays us a commission if you book there. The affiliate disclosure explains how that works.
What this schedule covers
We list the cruises that start in San Diego, as long as we can confirm where they go. Most are cruises Cruisebound sells from here.
Some sailings on the port's schedule aren't sold by Cruisebound: every Crystal sailing, and a few on other lines that Cruisebound no longer sells. We list them anyway, with the ports taken from the line's own page for that voyage. They have no fare here, their button opens the line's page, and we earn nothing from them.
Some ships on the port's schedule only stop in San Diego partway through a longer voyage. Unless the line sells a cruise that starts here on that day, they are left out.
How the schedule is put together
Each sailing comes from at least two sources, and each one is used for what it does best:
- the Port of San Diego publishes its cruise schedule for the season as a PDF: the date, the ship, the line and the name of each cruise. It currently runs to Mon, May 24, 2027, and the port says it is current as of March 2026. We use it to confirm that a departure is real.
- Cruisebound publishes every sailing it sells from San Diego, with the date, the ship and a starting fare. It reaches much further ahead than the port's schedule.
- Ports of call come from the day-by-day itinerary Cruisebound publishes for each sailing, or, for a line Cruisebound doesn't sell here, from the line's own page for that voyage.
- If we can't read the full list of ports for a sailing, it is left out. We would rather show fewer cruises than show one with gaps.
How sure we are
As of 2026-10-23:
| Status | Sailings | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Confirmed | 135 | The ship is on the port's schedule for that date, and Cruisebound or the line's own page gives the same cruise. |
| Beyond the port's schedule | 95 | The sailing is after Mon, May 24, 2027, the last day the port has published so far. Only Cruisebound lists it for now. |
| Sources disagree | 2 | Cruisebound sells the sailing, but the port's schedule doesn't show that ship leaving that day, or names a cruise of a different length. These carry a flag in the tables. Check them with the line. |
We record which ports a sailing visits. The order and the times in port can change, so check the line's day-by-day itinerary if that matters to you.
About the fares
A fare here is the lowest price per person Cruisebound listed for that sailing, with taxes and port fees included. Where we know which cabin it is for, the table says so. 221 of the 232 sailings have one, and each shows the date we checked it.
These are not live quotes. Cruise prices move every day, so treat a fare as a way to compare one sailing with another, then check the real price before you book. Where we have no fare, the table says "check prices" instead of guessing.
Keeping it current
The site is rebuilt every morning. Each rebuild checks the port's schedule for a new version and reads today's fares again, and sailings that have already left drop off. The date of the last update is at the top of every listing and in the footer.

- Cruisebound: ports of call, sailing dates past the port's schedule, and fares.
- Cruise lines' own voyage pages: ports of call for sailings Cruisebound does not sell from here.
The planning guides list their own sources, mostly the Port of San Diego and the operators each guide covers.
Independence
This site is not affiliated with the Port of San Diego or with any cruise line. Its only commercial link is the affiliate arrangement with Cruisebound, which the affiliate disclosure describes. It does not change the order sailings appear in, and fares are shown as Cruisebound listed them, not marked up.
When something is wrong
Cruise lines change schedules often, and a list like this can fall behind between updates. The cruise line is always the final word on dates, ports and prices.
