## Sailing from Manhattan Cruise Terminal and Brooklyn Cruise Terminal

New York is the busiest cruise gateway in the Northeast, and the only one where you can walk off the subway and onto a transatlantic liner. Manhattan's three-berth terminal on the Hudson handles Norwegian and Carnival year round, while Brooklyn's Red Hook terminal hosts MSC and Cunard's Queen Mary 2, the last true ocean liner in service.

The signature route is Bermuda: seven nights round trip with the ship docked at the Royal Naval Dockyard for three full days, so it doubles as a floating hotel. Fall brings Canada and New England foliage runs, and winter sees 8 to 10 night Bahamas and Caribbean escapes that skip the flight to Florida entirely.

**Season:** Year round, with Bermuda peaking April to October and Canada foliage sailings in September and October.

## Parking

The Manhattan Cruise Terminal on the West Side charges about $45 per day for on-site parking, so a 7 night sailing runs over $300. Independent garages in Hell's Kitchen undercut that if you book ahead. Brooklyn Cruise Terminal in Red Hook is cheaper at roughly $25 per day and rarely sells out.

## Where to stay the night before

Sailing after a flight in? Midtown West hotels near West 48th to 55th Street put you a five minute cab ride from the Manhattan piers. For Brooklyn departures, hotels around Downtown Brooklyn average $80 to $120 less per night than Manhattan and are 15 minutes from Red Hook by taxi.

Norwegian, Carnival and most Princess sailings use the Manhattan Cruise Terminal at Pier 88 and 90. MSC and Cunard use the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal in Red Hook. Your booking confirmation lists the pier, and we confirm it again when you book by phone.
