About New York

New York is a major transatlantic and Bermuda cruise homeport, with ships docking at the Manhattan Cruise Terminal (Piers 88, 90, 92 on the West Side) or Cape Liberty in Bayonne, NJ. The Manhattan terminals are walking distance from Hell's Kitchen and a short subway ride from Times Square and Central Park. Cunard's Queen Mary 2 runs the signature transatlantic crossing to Southampton about 20 times a year.
