Near the Baltimore cruise terminal

The terminal is on the South Locust Point peninsula, the same peninsula as Fort McHenry National Monument, where the 1814 defence of Baltimore inspired the Star-Spangled Banner. The fort is a short drive from the terminal and a popular stop the day before a sailing.

The Inner Harbor, with the National Aquarium and most of the downtown hotels, is under 3 miles away. That is close enough that many passengers stay there the night before and take a taxi or rideshare to the ship.
