Driving to Baltimore for a Cruise? Parking Costs Set to Increase
Starting September 1, 2025, parking rates at the Cruise Maryland Terminal in Baltimore will be going up. Expect to pay:
$25/night for passenger vehicles and SUVs
$45/night for RVs under 30 feet
$55/night for RVs over 30 feet
Parking payments are credit‑card only, and no advance reservations are needed. For a week-long cruise, this ups the parking bill to $175 for a car and $385 for RV users. While the hike is modest—just a $5/day increase—it’s drawing some concern from cruisers over rising travel costs.Cruise Hive
Why This Matters
Budgeting Impact: The new rates could meaningfully affect trip expenses—especially for travelers driving from mid‑Atlantic and nearby regions.
Evening the Cost Advantage? Some passengers worry that the cost savings of driving to Baltimore (vs. flying) is shrinking, particularly for families or RV travelers.Cruise Hive
Convenience Still Wins: Despite the increase, Baltimore remains a popular drive-to cruise port thanks to its I‑95 accessibility and proximity to many Eastern and Midwestern areas.Cruise HiveCruise Industry News | Cruise News
