Cape liberty, nj cruise port facilities and location.

Cruises from New York City with Celebrity Cruises depart from the recently-renovated Cape Liberty Cruise Port in New Jersey, a sleek and modern new cruise terminal that makes check-in and embarkation as smooth and enjoyable as possible. The Cape Liberty Cruise Port is conveniently located in close proximity to Newark Airport and is less than an hour’s drive from New York City.

Top Sights & Attractions to See Before Cruises From NYC

Empire state building.

The Empire State Building has been memorialized in movies and TV for decades, and a trip to the top is something you should experience for yourself at least once. Made up of 102 floors and coming in at over 1,200 feet tall, the observation deck offers an unbeatable view of the Manhattan skyline.

Ellis Island

Take a day trip to Ellis Island to discover the history of immigration in America during pivotal points in U.S. history. Spend the afternoon looking at historic immigration materials in the museum and learning about how the United States opened its doors to the world.

Brooklyn Bridge

Built in the late 1800s to connect Brooklyn and Manhattan, the Brooklyn Bridge is a marvel of human achievement and an architectural delight. A walk or ride over the Brooklyn Bridge, whether you’re in a taxi or on your own two feet, is pretty spectacular.

Times Square

It wouldn’t be a trip to NYC without a stop at the overwhelming, world-famous Times Square, a stretch of several blocks of bright, flashing billboards and crowds clamoring for neon photos.

Top Things to Do in New York

Walk in central park.

Central Park is one of the largest parks in a metropolitan area. Comprised of over a mile of green space and walking trails, it offers a killer view of lower Manhattan from certain vistas. When you’re craving some time in nature in the middle of this loud, humming city, head to Central Park for a walk, a picnic, or just to people-watch.

Go to a Broadway Show

Theater lovers will plan an entire trip to New York around a single Broadway musical or play. If you can snag tickets, you’ll be front and center to some of the biggest performers and talents in the world, whether you’re seeing an established, multi-run show or something artsy off-Broadway.

Pay Respects at the 9/11 Memorial

Built to honor the lives lost as a result of the tragic attacks on September 11, 2001, the 9/11 Memorial is a harrowing must-see experience during a trip to New York. It relays the significance of the terrorist attacks not only on the New York community, but the United States as a whole.

Where should I eat in New York?

New York offers nearly every type of cuisine in the world, whether you’re craving an authentic New York slice of pizza or prefer to stop at one of the halal food trucks scattered throughout Manhattan. There are dozens of restaurants along every block. Famous spots include Peter Luger Steakhouse in Williamsburg, Katz Delicatessen, Gramercy Tavern, and Grand Central Oyster Bar.

What’s the culture and history of New York?

Native American groups have lived in the area now known as New York for thousands of years, and European settlement of the area didn’t begin until the 15th century. In the 1600s, the Dutch West India Company began a colony called “New Amsterdam” and expanded their living quarters into what we know now as Manhattan. The local population boomed, and the New Amsterdam area became known as a trade hub between the Dutch, Europeans, and the New World. By the mid-1600s, the British took control and kept it until after the Revolutionary War. During the 19th century, the melting pot of New York that the city is now famous for began to take shape as Ellis Island welcomed millions of immigrants from Ireland, Italy, and Germany. People from around the world settled throughout the five boroughs. Today, New York symbolizes the promise of an America with open arms for all types of people, and New York’s food, attractions, and cultural institutions celebrate that diversity. 

Where can I go shopping near the cruise port?

For a glimpse of New York’s famous shopping scene, find a nearby subway station and head to Fifth Avenue or Madison Avenue, where you’ll find every luxury brand under the sun. SoHo boasts many of the biggest names and rising brands in fashion and design, while the windows of famous department stores like Macy’s and Bloomingdales attract thousands of eyes during the an. Of course, souvenir shacks with memorabilia of the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, and the Chrysler Building aren’t hard to find either.

How can I get around New York City?

Getting to New York City from the cruise terminal is easy. There are several options including hailing a taxi, taking a train on the PATH Rapid Transit System train to Manhattan, or boarding a bus that will drop you off in the Port Authority Bus Terminal. Once you are there, the options for getting around the five boroughs are plentiful, as New York has one of the most comprehensive public transit systems in the U.S. The subway operates 24/7. If you’ve decided to stick to landmarks in a particular neighborhood, you’ll be able to get around on foot. If you’re tired, you can hail one of the city’s famous yellow cabs. Rideshares also operate here. 

What are the local currency & tipping customs?

The U.S. Dollar (USD) is the official currency of NYC, and you’ll find ATMs are widespread. Most major credit cards are accepted as well, but it’s helpful to carry cash with you when you shop at bodegas. Many bars have a minimum purchase amount for credit or debit card use.

Seven Seas Splendor

Debuted in September 2021, the 746-passenger, 548-crew member Seven Seas Splendor is the newest ship within the Regent fleet. Seven Seas Splendor – along with most of the line's other ships – takes opulence to the next level by equipping each suite with its own private balcony. Other standard in-room amenities include interactive flat-screen TVs, luxurious bath products, bathrobes and slippers, signature queen-size beds and dining tables for two. There are 10 suite categories available, ranging from the smallest Veranda (307 square feet) and Deluxe Veranda suites (308 to 361 square feet) to the largest Regent (4,443 square feet) and Master suites (1,895 to 2,108 square feet). 

Guests have a wide array of things to do while on board. Spend your days relaxing at the spa, playing paddle tennis or bocce ball, working up a sweat on the jogging track or taking a dip in the ship's two whirlpools and two pools, one of which is an infinity-edge pool that stretches along the edge of the ship, providing swimmers with exceptional views of the ocean. At night, enjoy one of five shows at the onboard theater. 

When it comes to food, Seven Seas Splendor offers eight eateries ranging from casual to fine dining. Enjoy your breakfast alfresco at La Veranda and grub down for lunch at the Pool Grill buffet. For something more formal, opt for a French-inspired meal at Chartreuse, Pan-Asian dishes at Pacific Rim or Compass Rose, the largest restaurant on the ship.

Seven Seas Splendor visits a variety of European and Mediterranean destinations, as well as ports across Europe, the Caribbean, Africa and South America.

The 930-passenger Viking Sky – which debuted in February 2017 – receives rave reviews from past cruisers for its port-heavy itineraries (fares include one complimentary excursion per port) and luxurious, comfortable staterooms. Cabins offer between 270 and 1,448 square feet of space and include balconies, complimentary Wi-Fi access, flat-screen TVs and bathrooms with heated floors, among other amenities. Those who opt for an upgraded stateroom or suite are treated to additional perks, like priority reservations at the spa and specialty restaurants.

Viking Sky's activities include classes at the fitness center, treatments at the spa and destination-focused lectures. The ship also offers two pools and two whirlpools, including an infinity pool on the stern of the ship. In the evenings, passengers can enjoy live performances in the theater or watch destination-related movies in one of two cinemas.

Guests also have their choice of cuisine, from alfresco dining on the Aquavit Terrace to Manfredi's Italian Restaurant. With 550 crew members on board, the ship maintains a nearly 2-to-1 guest-to-crew ratio.

Viking Sky sails to the Mediterranean, Europe, Central America and more. The ship also offers world voyages.

Viking Mars

Viking's newest ship, the Viking Mars accommodates 930 passengers and, since it's a smaller vessel, it can dock in many ports where some of the larger ocean-faring cruise ships can't reach. The all-veranda accommodations on this ship, which debuted in May 2022, range in size from around 270 square feet to 1,448 square feet. In-room amenities include free Wi-Fi access, flat-screen TVs, safes, minibars filled with drinks and snacks, robes, slippers and 24-hour room service.

Visitors will find a relaxing spa, a hair salon, a yoga area and a well-equipped indoor fitness center (plus an outdoor fitness center) aboard the ship. Those looking to unwind with a book in one hand and a cocktail in the other should snag a cozy spot in The Living Room. Like other Viking ships, the Viking Mars offers educational programming, lectures, cooking classes and more on board.

Cruisers can also enjoy amenities like the main pool and hot tub, the infinity pool, the cinema, the theater, a jazz lounge and various bars. Dining options on this ship include Manfredi's Italian Restaurant, Aquavit Terrace, World Café, The Chef's Table and The Kitchen Table.

Viking Mars receives rave reviews from recent cruisers. The variety of excursions, the delectable onboard dining and the comfortable cabins are a few things previous guests highlighted as superb. However, the staff received mixed reviews: Some experienced attentive and friendly employees, while a few noted they were expecting better service across the board for the price point.

Upcoming itineraries on the Viking Mars include cruises with ports of call in Iceland, Norway, Greece, Italy, Spain, the U.S. and Canada.

Viking Star

Debuted in 2015, Viking Star was the fleet's first ocean liner. Welcoming up to 930 passengers, the ship features all-veranda staterooms ranging from 270 to 1,448 square feet.

There are eight dining options to choose from, all with no additional charge or fee. For fine dining, there's The Restaurant, Manfredi's Italian Restaurant and The Chef's Table, which touts a multicourse tasting menu with wine pairings. For a more casual atmosphere, passengers can stop at Mamsen's for Norwegian deli-style eats or the Wintergarden for afternoon tea.

Seabourn Quest

Seabourn Quest, which launched in June 2011, is one of the smallest ships in Seabourn's fleet. It can fit up to 458 passengers and about one crew member for every cruiser. It is virtually identical to the Seabourn Sojourn and Seabourn Odyssey .

Seabourn Quest differs from the line's newer ships in terms of accommodations, as it offers some Ocean View Suites with porthole windows instead of verandas. However, all cabins still come equipped with amenities like flat-screen TVs, designer toiletries, personalized stationery, Egyptian cotton linens and in-suite bars stocked with your preferred refreshments.

Outside your suite, you can enjoy a range of pursuits, such as spa and salon treatments, free fitness classes, a nine-hole putting green and two swimming pools. Additionally, Seabourn Quest offers complimentary water sports equipment rentals at its Watersports Marina in select destinations.

Once you've worked up an appetite, sit for a meal at one of the ship's four restaurants, including the main dining room and The Grill, a steakhouse helmed by Michelin-starred chef Thomas Keller. And for evening entertainment, you'll have access to a variety of bars, plus a casino, a dance club and the Grand Salon, where cabaret performances, comedy shows and more are hosted nightly.

Quest sails to and from destinations around the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Northern Europe and more.

Seabourn Sojourn

The 458-passenger Seabourn Sojourn debuted in June 2010 and features all-suite accommodations. About 90% of the suites offer verandas, and all accommodations provide 24-hour room service, flat-screen TVs, bathrooms with dual sinks and a separate living area and bedroom. What's more, cruisers are welcomed with complimentary Champagne upon arrival and can enjoy a fruit basket that's refreshed daily. A suite stewardess is assigned to each cabin to assist with requests as well. Sojourn is virtually identical to its sister ships, Seabourn Odyssey  and Seabourn Quest . 

Outside the rooms, travelers can gamble at the casino, work up a sweat in the fitness center or relax at the spa. Those interested in soaking up the sun can snag a spot by one of two swimming pools or enjoy one of five hot tubs. Cruisers can also fuel their competitive juices with a round of shuffleboard or golf on the nine-hole putting green. When anchored, vacationers in select destinations can take advantage of the ship's water sports equipment, such as kayaks and paddle boats.

There are four dining venues to choose from on the Seabourn Sojourn, including casual and fine dining options. In the evening, cruisers can enjoy cocktails at one of the bars or dance under the stars. The ship's nearly 1-to-1 crew-to-passenger ratio means cruisers should expect exceptional service.

Sojourn sails to destinations in the Caribbean, the Panama Canal and the Mediterranean, as well as some trans-Atlantic sailings.

Seven Seas Mariner

Similar to its sister ships,  Seven Seas Navigator  and  Seven Seas Voyager , the 696-passenger Seven Seas Mariner makes service a top priority with 459 crew members on board.

Refurbished in 2018 (and debuted in 2001), the Mariner features neutral decor and finishings throughout, a remodeled library in a new location and a revamped pool deck with an open layout and new tile and teak surfaces. The Serene Spa & Wellness center received a new design with light wood accents and pebble-stone tiles, while the fitness and aerobics center offers modern equipment. Onboard activities include theatrical productions, casino games and sipping cocktails in one of five lounge areas.

Across the ship, there are seven eateries in total. All are stylishly designed, including the Prime 7 steakhouse and the flagship Compass Rose restaurant. Chartreuse, a guest favorite, highlights modern French cuisine. During the day, guests can enjoy the expanded lunch offerings at the outdoor Pool Grill or snack at the informal Coffee Connection. As with all Regent Seven Seas ships, specialty dining and shore excursions are included in the cruise fare.

Best of all, the all-suite accommodations offer beds with plush leather headboards, cozy sitting areas and artwork. All cabins are outfitted with welcome bottles of Champagne, private balconies, walk-in closets and marble bathrooms.

Seven Seas Mariner sails through much of the world, including ports in the Caribbean, Canada, Africa, Asia, Australia and more.

Silver Dawn

One of the newest ships within the Silversea Cruises fleet, Silver Dawn debuted in April 2022. Similar in size to its sister ships, Silver Muse and Silver Moon , Silver Dawn can accommodate 596 guests and has the capacity for up to 411 crew members.

Dawn is the first ship within the fleet to offer Otium, a new wellness concept that will eventually be implemented across all of Silversea's ships. The program aims to incorporate luxurious elements of the spa experience throughout the entire voyage, starting with guests' suites. Each cabin features the line's new Otium Soft Touch mattress, a redesigned pillow menu, pillow mists, and special touches like cozy blankets, in-room bath salts or hot chocolate. Suites range in size from 334 square feet to 1,970 square feet and feature ocean views, butler service and full baths with separate showers, among other amenities.

Outside of the accommodations, cruisers will find eight restaurants, including La Terrazza, an Italian eatery, Kaiseki, a Japanese outpost, and S.A.L.T. Kitchen, which features a menu that highlights the local cuisine of the ship's destination. Other onboard facilities include a casino, a pool deck, a boutique, a live entertainment lounge, a fitness center and the S.A.L.T. Lab, where passengers can enjoy workshops, lectures and cooking demonstrations.

Silver Dawn departs from ports like Fort Lauderdale, Florida , and Lisbon, Portugal , to destinations like Barcelona, Spain , and Lima, Peru . 

U.S. News Insider Tip : Consider booking a session with Silversea's newest spa concept, Otium, which debuted on Silver Dawn. Beyond the ancient Rome-inspired treatments available in Otium, the experience continues in-suite, with butler-drawn candlelit baths including a glass of Champagne and a house-made macaron waiting on a tub tray. Classical music plays soothingly in the background. – Janice Wald Henderson, Contributor

Originally launched as a  Princess  ship, the 648-passenger Sirena was revived in 2016 under the Oceania  name. The ship was most recently revamped in 2019 and features many of the amenities found on its sister ships, including the Aquamar Spa + Vitality Center and duty-free shopping boutiques.

Sirena's dining venues include the Red Ginger Asian restaurant and Tuscan Steak, both of which require reservations and an additional fee. Passengers can also choose from four more casual dining options included in the cruise fare. Recent guests gave the food on the ship mixed reviews. After dinner, evening entertainment includes musicals and theatrical productions, as well as games at the casino. 

Passengers can choose from Inside, Ocean View, Veranda and Suite category cabins. While Inside staterooms start at 160 square feet, those who opt for a suite will find more space and added amenities, such as free internet access and butler service. The ship also now offers solo staterooms for those who are traveling alone.

Oceania Sirena offers sailings in the Caribbean, South America, Europe and some transoceanic itineraries.

Tourists and residents alike can take advantage of the many cruises that depart from New York City, offering easy access to warm weather getaways, family vacations, expeditions, and more. After all, nothing screams adventure like sailing away from the Big Apple with the Statue of Liberty and iconic city skyline in your wake.

Plus, New York is home to the oldest cruise terminal in the United States. Nowadays, there are two hubs, one in Manhattan and another in Brooklyn . An additional cruise terminal, in Cape Liberty in Bayonne, New Jersey, also serves the area.

The Manhattan cruise terminal is located on the edge of Midtown, making it easy to spend port days or pre-cruise time exploring Times Square, Central Park, or the Theater District. The Empire State Building and iconic department stores including Macy’s Herald Square are also within walking distance of the Manhattan cruise port.

The Brooklyn cruise port is a 15-minute drive from Brooklyn Bridge Park , which offers some of the best views of downtown Manhattan. If you're looking to stretch your legs, the walk across the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan offers just over a mile of picturesque city viewpoints. While Bayonne, New Jersey may not be a huge tourist destination, sailing from Cape Liberty does provide a postcard-perfect look at the Manhattan skyline and its famous neighbor, the Statue of Liberty.

Viking offers ocean cruises between New York and Reykjavik in June, August, and September.

Trade the soaring skyscrapers of New York City for coastal Canada, remote Greenland, and endless Icelandic summer days. This Viking itinerary makes two stops in Canada and two stops in Greenland before circumnavigating Iceland, beginning with the remote Westfjords and ending in Reykjavik. Sail the same seas as legendary Norse explorer Leif Erikkson (on a far more luxurious Viking ship) while learning about the American Revolution and Canadian exploration from the cruise line’s resident historian. Lounge by the pool, visit the spa, or look out for whales and puffins. Viking has several nearly identical ocean ships sailing this itinerary from New York—each can accommodate a maximum of 930 passengers, allowing them to dock in ports larger ships cannot access.

It’s impossible to get bored on the MSC Meraviglia . See six Broadway-caliber shows over a 7-night cruise, spend sea days at the thermal spa or lounging by the pool, go bowling, play arcade games, try out an F1 simulator, or work out in a state-of-the-art gym—the opportunities are endless. MSC’s Meraviglia sails from New York to Bermuda, Canada, New England, the Bahamas, and Florida and can accommodate up to 5,642 passengers across 2,214 staterooms. Choose among 23 dining venues and 20 bars and lounges, or try to eat your way through all of them.

Norwegian Prima is one of the best cruises for solo travelers departing from New York City.

On most cruise lines, traveling solo means paying up to double the fare for a cabin to yourself, but not on the Norwegian Prima . This ship has a special area set aside for solo travelers with 73 studio suites and a private common area for mingling. Each of the Norwegian Prima’s 95-square-foot studio suites comes with a full-size bed, en suite bathroom, and a vanity table. And while space inside these studios are tight, you’ll likely be so busy go-karting, lounging by the pool, taking in shows, and relaxing in hot tubs, it’s unlikely you’ll find yourself spending much time in the room beyond catching some shut eye. The Norwegian Prima sails to Bermuda and the Caribbean from New York and offers a transatlantic repositioning itinerary.Best transatlantic cruise from New York

This Regent Seven Seas cruise visits Bermuda, St. Barts, St. Lucia, Barbados, Grenada, Bonaire, Curacao, and Aruba en route to Miami. This cruise line is a favorite among retired travelers, and the Seven Seas Grandeur is the line’s most luxurious ship. There are 746 suites, a spa, a teaching kitchen, a casino, and Broadway-caliber entertainment onboard. Regent Seven Seas’ specialty is all-inclusive luxury, and it means it. Shore excursions, alcohol, specialty restaurants, and laundry are included in cruise fares, which start at around $8,400 for this itinerary.

Or eat and drink your way across more than a dozen bars and restaurants, including an interactive Le Petit Chef dining experience. These seven-night roundtrip sailings depart from Cape Liberty in Bayonne, New Jersey, making it especially easy to combine a visit to the Statue of Liberty with your cruise.

Hop on the Seabourn Quest in October for an unforgettable journey through the colors of autumn. Spend a gorgeous fall day in Central Park before setting sail from New York to Montréal by way of Martha's Vineyard, Boston, Halifax, and Prince Edward Island on a 12-day itinerary along the eastern seaboard. This is a small ship that’s especially popular among North Americans, Europeans, and Australians, and a cruise line that’s beloved by foodies.

The Best Cruises You Can Take From New York

katarzyna-ostrowska-436219-unsplash

Choice reigns when it comes to New York City cruising. Travelers have an incredible selection of cruise lines, ships and destinations, perhaps opting for a Bermuda voyage, a Florida and Bahamas cruise or a fall "leaf peeper" sailing to New England and Canada. Longer voyages sail across the Atlantic or up the Amazon River, too.

The New York City area also has three major cruise embarkation points at major terminals along Manhattan's West Side, Brooklyn's Red Hook neighborhood or Cape Liberty in Bayonne, New Jersey. Plus, who wouldn't love New York for a pre- or post-cruise stay to see a Broadway show, visit world-class museums, and enjoy excellent dining and shopping?

As for the cruise sailaway, it's dramatic. "It's breathtaking to sail past lower Manhattan, past the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island and then under the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge," said Patti Gallagher, a travel advisor from Vista Travel , a Signature Travel Network member agency in Colonia, New Jersey.

Travelers will find sailings from New York City in every price range. So what's the best cruise? Well that depends on your vacation style, personality, approach to the onboard and shoreside experience, plus the size of your wallet (or credit card limit).

cruises from new york

Choose an affordable "contemporary" cruise line for an activity-packed, big-ship, family friendly experience, but expect to encounter many other guests onboard and to pay extra for drinks, specialty dining, gratuities and more. Priced a notch up are premium and upper premium cruises with more pampering, often fewer guests and more adult enrichment; most still welcome families, though. Priciest — not surprisingly — are highly inclusive luxury cruises. Guests aren't "nickled and dimed" onboard as luxury fares cover everything from specialty dining to gratuities, alcoholic drinks, special events and even some shore trips; inclusions vary by line.

Here are our top picks if you're planning a vacation voyage from New York City.

Fall Foliage Cruises

How about a "leaf peeping" cruise to view spectacular fall foliage in New England and Canada when fall comes back around?

For ultra-luxury afloat, one great option is Silversea Cruises ' 11-day New York to Montreal voyage operated by the newly refreshed Silver Whisper. Carrying just 388 guests, this all-suite ship is still intimate, yet it's also large enough for multiple dining venues, including the savory La Dame with French-inspired cuisine, a full-service spa, multiple lounges and a theater. All suites have butler service. A major revitalization has given this ship a fresh feel and more contemporary color scheme, similar to what's on the line's newest ship, Silver Muse. Enhancements include a revitalized pool deck, a major update to the main restaurant, new fitness center equipment and new polished granite surfaces for suite bathrooms.

A highlight of Silver Whisper's fall foliage itinerary is an overnight in Quebec City so guests can go ashore for dining and entertainment. This itinerary also features a canal transit in Cape Cod; cruising Quebec's Saguenay River; and port calls at Newport, RI; Boston, MA; Bar Harbor, ME; Halifax and Sydney, Nova Scotia; Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island; Saguenay and Quebec City, Quebec; and Montreal, where the voyage ends.

Alternatively, for a "boutique luxury" experience coupled with fall foliage viewing, Gallagher likes Viking Ocean Cruises ' 13-day "Eastern Seaboard Explorer" itinerary from New York to Montreal on the 930-passenger Viking Star.

"Taking a fall cruise up through New England and into Canada is a stunning array of colors," she said, noting that on this cruise, guests can explore Boston and Halifax in addition to sailing the St. Lawrence Seaway and visiting Quebec.

cruises from new york

Gallagher also likes the ship's size, Viking's attention to detail, destination focus and "excellent service." She also said it's a fairly inclusive product. Seven guided tours are included within this itinerary's cruise fare. With modern Scandinavian design, Viking Star is known for its comfortable "Living Room" (atrium and lobby area), full-service spa with a thermal suite that's open to all guests (not the case on most lines) and Manfredi's for specialty dining. However, this isn't a ship for families with kids (passengers must be 18 and older) or those who love to play the slots, as there's no casino.

If cruisers prefer a couple's premium experience for leaf peeping, a good option is Celebrity Cruises ' 2,158-passenger Celebrity Summit, a Millennium-class ship that's emerging from major renovations in March. It sails 14-day "Canada and New England" cruises from Cape Liberty in the fall.

Travelers departing on Holland America Line 's 12-night "Colors of Canada and New England" cruise on the 1,964-passenger Zuiderdam enjoy nine port days, so they can see and do a lot, plus the cruise ends in Quebec City — a great spot for a post-cruise stay with a French flair.

For an upper premium voyage with strong culinary offerings, check out Oceania Cruises ' 1,250-passenger Riviera. Master chef Jacques Pépin serves as the line's executive culinary director, and the ship's 11-day "Colors, Coves and Coasts" voyage sails from New York to Montreal.

For small ship fans, we'd suggest either Windstar Cruises ' 212-passenger Star Pride or Scenic 's new 228-passenger Scenic Eclipse (an oceangoing, expeditionary ship launching this August). Both operate one fall foliage cruise this year.

Bermuda Cruises

Spring is a great time for groups of singles, couples or adult children traveling with their parents to explore Bermuda , before children are out of school and families with young kids are headed there in greater numbers. Royal Caribbean International 's 4,180-passenger Anthem of the Seas operates two appealing, seven-night, springtime departures (along with other Bermuda itineraries, too). We like the week-long sailings for their two full days in Bermuda, a bonus day in Boston and several days at sea.

A Quantum-class ship, Anthem of the Seas has many innovative or active onboard diversions — everything from a skydive simulator to roller skating, bumper cars and a circus school with a flying trapeze. Passengers also can soar skyward on North Star, a gigantic arm that lifts people 300 feet above the ocean for 360-degree views and a bird's eye view of the ship below.

cruises from new york

Given the ship's size and diverse activities, your group can enjoy plenty of "together time" — bonding during shore trips, dinner each evening or physical challenges like rock wall climbing. But it's easy to find "just me" or "just us" time, too.

So, Grandma might opt for a spa treatment while her adult children relax at the pool, and the grandchildren hang at the kids or teen club.

We also like the spring Bermuda voyages on Norwegian Cruise Line 's 4,266-passenger Norwegian Escape, a Breakaway Plus-class vessel that also has plenty of bells and whistles in terms of more than 25 dining choices, activities and accommodations. One stellar upscale experience is the Haven, the line's "ship within a ship" concept. Guests staying in Haven-designated accommodations (top suites and some other stateroom categories) have private butler service. They can head out for all the big-ship entertainment and activities, but when returning to the exclusive Haven enclave (key-card accessible only), they'll find a more intimate aura and dedicated pool and concierge, among other perks.

One other ship we're curious about (but it's too early to say for sure) is Carnival Cruise Line 's 2,988-passenger Carnival Sunrise, which will operate spring Bermuda cruises on several dates this May and June. In April, the ship (the former Carnival Triumph) will emerge from a significant revitalization. Among the additions? Look for Cucina del Capitano, one of Carnival's signature eateries and a family-friendly Italian restaurant, along with SportSquare and more.

Jesse Morris, of We Book Travel (an independent agency in the Avoya Network based in Richmond, VA), likes Carnival Sunrise's four-night Bermuda itinerary.

"Carnival's kids' club options are fantastic and there's so much fun to be had at the cruise ship waterpark," Morris said. She also cites the popularity of Guy's Burger Joint (think: Guy Fieri).

"Plus, parents can enjoy the Cloud 9 Spa and Serenity Deck if they're looking for a peaceful retreat."

New ships are always on the horizon. Highly anticipated is the new 3,998-passenger Norwegian Encore, which launches later this year and will sail summer cruises from New York in 2020. After two sea days en route to Bermuda's Royal Naval Dockyard, guests will have three days to explore before returning to New York.

Multigenerational groups, teens and young adults should love this ship. Norwegian Encore will offer the largest racetrack at sea — more than 1,100 feet in length with four high-speed curves that extend 13 feet over the ship's side. Prefer laser tag? The ship's open-air aft deck will recreate the lost city of Atlantis as a setting for an epic laser tag battle. And the 10,000-square-foot augmented reality Galaxy Pavilion will feature a virtual reality maze, interactive theater and "escape" room.

Some lines add a twist to Bermuda sailings — offering a longer voyage with less time in Bermuda and a port call at another destination farther south, typically in the Bahamas or Turks and Caicos.

"Travelers looking for a warm-weather getaway ... and don't want the hassle of flying should consider sailing on Anthem of the Seas," said Michelle Fee, CEO and founder of Cruise Planners , an American Express Travel representative based in Coral Springs, FL. She's fond of this ship's "Bahamas and Perfect Day."

What's special to Fee is that — in addition to Bermuda — the ship also calls at Royal Caribbean's revamped private island, Perfect Day in Coco Cay , where she says cruisers will experience the tallest water slide in North America, overwater bungalows and more. "These seven- and eight-night itineraries also include stops in Nassau, Bahamas and Port Canaveral, FL, but with so much to do onboard including the FlowRider and the North Star observation pod, the days at sea will be a highlight of the trip," she stressed.

cruises from new york

Morris likes Carnival Sunrise's nine-night voyage because it includes two days in Bermuda plus a full day at Grand Turk, in Turks and Caicos. Guests walk off the gangway at Grand Turk Cruise Center, amble down the pier and, presto, they're on the beach, as the pier is part of Carnival Corporation's Grand Turk private beach destination.

Caribbean Cruises

For a luxurious, leisurely 2021 voyage with port time in Bermuda, the Caribbean and Brazil and disembarkation in Miami, consider Crystal Cruises ' 24-night voyage on the 980-passenger Crystal Serenity. Sailing from New York City to Miami, this voyage is also themed around big bands and ballroom dancing. It's not a typical New York-to-Miami cruise.

Travelers can put their toes in Bermuda's pink sands, explore Barbados and other Caribbean isles, witness Brazil's "Wedding of the Waters" where the Amazon and Rio Negro rivers meet and soak up folkloric culture in Parintins, Brazil. Despite its exotic nature, this cruise begins and ends in the United States, so cruisers won't need to book overseas flights.

cruises from new york

Once onboard, cruisers will find a high level of service. Why not have your butler arrange a romantic dinner on your stateroom balcony, or organize a custom tour with helicopters and private guides?

This ship was also revitalized in 2018 and it now has fewer passengers, allowing for flexible "open seating" in the main dining room. Another plus for those who love Asian cuisine is celebrity chef Nobu Mitsuhisa's specialty restaurant, Uma Umi and Sushi Bar.

For a premium cruise that departs New York, calls at three Caribbean islands (but not the Amazon) and ends in Fort Lauderdale, consider Princess Cruises ' 10-day "Caribbean Islander" voyage. The 3,560-passenger Regal Princess sails to St. Martin, Antigua and Aruba before arriving in South Florida.

Regal Princess is now operating with " Ocean Medallion Class " so guests can wear a small medallion that interacts with sensors around the ship to personalize the cruise experience. The technology can open stateroom doors, allow guests to order drinks (and have them delivered) wherever they are on the ship, customize entertainment and more.

Halloween Cruises

No one does fantasy better than Disney, so bring a costume for Disney Cruise Line 's five-night "Halloween on the High Seas" departures this fall roundtrip from New York. Families, couples and singles who love the Mouse can enjoy two fun-filled days at sea and two days at King's Wharf, Bermuda.

cruises from new york

Besides the expected onboard Disney character appearances, robust children's and teen activities, adult programming and spooky Halloween seasonal activities, travelers can head ashore in Bermuda for a "Haunted History Tour of St. George's," among other excursions.

In 2018, Disney Magic — with 875 staterooms accommodating 2,713 passengers — was refreshed. A "Tangled"-themed family restaurant called Rapunzel's Royal Table was added. The ship also now sports a fresh new Vibe teen retreat; a redesigned adult-exclusive Cove Café; a new Club Disney Junior in Disney's Oceaneer Club; and a redesigned Rainforest Room for adults in the Senses Spa.

Classic Transatlantic Cruises

This summer, Cunard 's 2,691-passenger Queen Mary 2 plies the Atlantic Ocean between New York and Southampton, in the United Kingdom. This "crossing" voyage is a throwback of sorts to the "Golden Age of Cruising," when movie stars and political leaders traveled via liner across the ocean. Today, it's a one-of-a-kind experience with modern amenities, elegant dining, ballroom dancing, a planetarium, full-service spa, wine tasting, enrichment activities and special event cruises that attract everyone from NASA astronauts to television celebrities.

One longer transatlantic voyage with appealing port calls is Regent Seven Seas Cruises ' 15-night "Atlantic Expedition" on the luxurious 490-passenger Seven Seas Navigator. It sails from Manhattan to Amsterdam, with a two-day port call at Bermuda plus other calls in the Azores, France and Belgium, before overnighting in Amsterdam.

Orlando and Space Coast Cruises

To combine a Bahamas cruise with a brief visit to Florida's Space Coast or an Orlando theme park, cruisers might sail on Norwegian Cruise Line's 2,340-passenger Norwegian Dawn , departing on multiple dates this summer. The itinerary includes a day at sea and arrival at Port Canaveral, FL, the next day for a 1pm to 9pm visit — just enough time for a trip to a theme park, the Kennedy Space Center Visitors' Complex tour or Space Coast beach time.

Then it's on to Great Stirrup Cay , Norwegian's private Bahamian island experience, before the ship docks in Nassau, the Bahamas for the day, prior to two sea days en route back to New York.

Take the subway when getting around the city. It’s safe, efficient and much cheaper than relying on cabs.

Some of the NYC’s best restaurants are local hole-in-the-wall spots that won’t show up on any foodie round-up. Don’t be afraid to ask locals for recommendations on where to eat.

If you have time, venture beyond Manhattan. Brooklyn and Queens also have their own unique flavor and are worth crossing the bridge to explore.
