About this site
Compiled and maintained by Andrew Budai, webmaster. Schedule last updated .
AllCruisesFromSanFrancisco is an independent schedule of cruises leaving the Port of San Francisco. It lists 101 sailings on 5 ships from 4 cruise lines, from November 2026 to October 2028.
We don't sell cruises. There is no booking engine, account or newsletter here. When you find a sailing you like, we send you to Cruisebound, which sells that exact sailing, or to the cruise line, to check the price and book.
Who runs this site
Andrew Budai compiles and maintains AllCruisesFromSanFrancisco. He is an experienced webmaster with more than 10 years in SEO and digital advertising, and he has been building his own websites for the past year. He wants this site to be genuinely helpful and also profitable. He is not a travel agent, and the schedule comes from the sources listed below, not from personal experience.
How the schedule is put together
Each sailing is built from three sources, each used for what it does best:
- Cruisebound, a cruise retailer, publishes every sailing it sells from San Francisco, with today's fare. Each sailing's own page gives the day-by-day itinerary, and that is where our ports of call come from.
- The Port of San Francisco publishes its own cruise schedule, one file a year, listing every ship, the pier it uses and whether it starts a cruise here or is only visiting. We check every sailing against it, and it is the only place our pier comes from. We are not connected to the port. Its site doesn't let automated tools read it, so we read the schedule by hand when the port publishes a new version. The copy we use was updated on Thu, Oct 22, 2026 for 2026 and Thu, Aug 13, 2026 for 2027.
- CruiseTimetables is the independent check for sailings past the end of the port's schedule. It doesn't say which pier, so those later sailings show no pier yet.
- If we can't confirm the ports of call, the sailing is left out. We would rather show fewer cruises than show one with gaps. If two sources disagree, the sailing stays on the site and is marked, so you can check it with the line.
We never work out a pier from the cruise line. In the port's own schedule the same ship can leave from Pier 27 one week and Pier 35 the next.
Ships that only call in San Francisco partway through a voyage are not departures, and lines Cruisebound doesn't sell from here have no confirmed ports for us to publish.
How sure we are
As of 2026-11-03:
| Status | Sailings | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Confirmed | 101 | The ship is on the Port of San Francisco's schedule, starting a cruise that day. Past the schedule's last day, it is on CruiseTimetables. |
| Single source | 0 | Cruisebound sells it, but neither check lists it. Check these 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 a starting price per person, for the cheapest cabin listed, with taxes and port fees included. 99 of the 101 sailings have one. Each fare shows the date we checked it.
Cruisebound publishes a daily catalog and a page for each sailing, and neither is always right on its own, so we compare them. We use the sailing's page when it shows the cheapest cabin. Otherwise the page is usually missing cabins, so we use the catalog. In a sailing's last three weeks cabins really do sell out, so if the two disagree there we show no fare and ask you to check the price. The price you see at Cruisebound can still be different, especially close to sailing.
These are not live quotes. Cruise prices move every day, so treat a fare as a way to compare one sailing with another, then get the real price from the line. Where we have no fare, the table says "check prices" instead of guessing.
Keeping it current
Fares are re-checked on a schedule and the site is rebuilt afterwards. Sailings drop off automatically once they have left. The date of the last update is at the top of every listing and in the footer.
Download the schedule
The whole schedule is available as a file, one row per sailing, rebuilt every morning with the site: CSV for a spreadsheet, or JSON. Each row gives the departure and return dates, nights, the pier where the port's schedule shows one, ship, line, itinerary, region, ports of call, the starting fare and the date it was read, and the page that covers it. You are welcome to use and quote it, with a link back to this site. You can also put a live list of sailings on your own site with our schedule widget.

Independence
This site is not affiliated with the Port of San Francisco or any cruise line. Most fare buttons go to Cruisebound, a cruise booking site, and the hotel buttons go to Booking.com. We may earn a commission if you book through them. The affiliate disclosure explains how that works. The commission does not change which sailings we list or the order they appear in.
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.
