Cruises from New York Manhattan-Brooklyn

Cruising from New York City offers something truly special—the chance to begin your ocean voyage with Manhattan's skyline as your backdrop. The Manhattan Cruise Terminal and Brooklyn Cruise Terminal serve as gateways to the world, with ships departing for destinations across the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Europe, and beyond. With 262 upcoming sailings and prices starting at $389, there's never been a better time to explore what departing from NYC has to offer.

Both terminals provide convenient access for travelers throughout the Northeast. The Manhattan Cruise Terminal, located on the West Side along the Hudson River, is easily accessible by taxi, rideshare, or public transportation. The Brooklyn Cruise Terminal in Red Hook offers a more intimate experience with excellent views of the Statue of Liberty. Both are within an hour of major airports—JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark—making pre- or post-cruise hotel stays optional for many travelers. Parking is available at both terminals for those driving in, though booking ahead is recommended during peak season.

Popular ships sailing from New York include the legendary Queen Mary 2, Norwegian Luna, and Carnival Firenze, operated by leading lines like Norwegian Cruise Line, Cunard Line, and Carnival Cruise Line. The variety is impressive: quick getaways to Bermuda and the Caribbean, grand transatlantic crossings to Southampton, and extended voyages exploring the Mediterranean. Fall foliage cruises to Canada and New England are particularly popular in autumn, while winter brings warm-weather escapes to the islands.
