Charleston Cruise Directions and Parking

Charleston's cruise terminal is easy to reach by car. It is within 2 miles of Interstate 26 and US Highway 17. The Port of Charleston provides detailed driving directions, which we won't duplicate on our site.

All cars enter Union Pier Terminal directly from Concord Street at the access point at Gate 2. Walk-ups are not permitted, so passengers should not be dropped-off in or around Market Street or the Passenger Terminal. Drop-offs should proceed through the Gate 2 entrance at Concord and Laurens streets.

Long-term parking is available on Port property. Reservations are not required. Parking is secured and patrolled by the Port Police during your cruise.
