San Diego is a minor Alaska-repositioning port, used by Princess, Holland America, and Norwegian when a ship is moving between a California or Mexican Riviera program and its Alaska season. The B Street Pier cruise terminal sits on San Diego Bay at the foot of downtown, walking distance from the Gaslamp Quarter, Seaport Village, and the USS Midway Museum. Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo are a short cab ride north of the terminal, and the San Diego airport (SAN) is unusually close — about five minutes by car — which simplifies pre- and post-cruise logistics. Alaska-related calls tend to happen in April (northbound) or October (southbound).
