NYC is magical in the summer but like all great things, summer in NYC eventually comes to an end. The transition into fall then winter can be quite brutal which is why cruising is a great option.

In addition to New York having transit options ranging from airports to buses and train station, there are also major cruise ship ports.

Located in the Hell’s Kitchen area of Manhattan and Red Hook in Brooklyn, cruises have become a thriving industry in New York.

Popular cruise companies like Norwegian, Crystal, Cunard and Holland America all reside in either the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal or Manhattan Cruise Terminal.

Going on a cruise from NYC has become as easy as just hopping on the subway.
