San Francisco port commissioners, other city officials and executives from the maritime industry are also expected at the festivities.
The 91,000-square-foot terminal, which has handled a couple ships in the past week following its soft opening, includes an FMT glass mobile passenger boarding bridge, a provisioning area, a ground transportation area and a 2.5-acre public park.
An innovative mobile security perimeter system allows for unimpeded waterfront access by the public on non-cruise days in accordance with the city's waterfront preservation/accessibility requirements.
Also, the facility will be available to rent on non-cruise days for conferences, trade shows and special events.
