Skip the airport. The Statue of Liberty is your sailaway.
Nearly 500 sailings a year leave from Manhattan, Brooklyn and Cape Liberty: Bermuda in a week, Canada and New England in the fall, the Bahamas and Caribbean without a flight, and the only regular ocean liner crossing to Europe. SmartCruiser shows every sailing leaving New York from every line, prices them with taxes and fees included, and puts the sailings with SmartCruiser bonus onboard credit and better-than-public fares at the top.
Three ways to sail from New York
No flights, no checked bags, and your car waits at the pier. Pick the trip and the list filters itself.
Bermuda in a week
- 5 to 7 nights from Manhattan or Cape Liberty, April to October

- Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity and Carnival all run it
Best for: first cruises, couples, anyone who wants a real island without a long sea crossing.
Canada & New England
- 7 to 10 nights up the coast: Newport, Boston, Bar Harbor, Halifax, Saint John and sometimes Quebec City
- Peak foliage runs late September through mid October
- Queen Mary 2, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Celebrity, MSC and Oceania
Best for: leaf peepers, grandparents and grandkids, lobster and lighthouses.
Bahamas & Caribbean, no flight
- 7 to 9 nights to Port Canaveral, Nassau and the private islands; 10 to 12 nights deep into the Caribbean
- Two sea days each way to settle in, then warm water every day
- Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Carnival and MSC sail all winter
Best for: families on school breaks, snowbirds who hate airports, long relaxing sea days.

Stack any filters, then pick a sortPrices are per person, double occupancy, in US dollars, and include cruise fare, taxes, fees and port expenses as published by the cruise line at the moment you load this page. Fares are capacity controlled and change daily; the fare is confirmed when you book. Flights, hotels and transfers are extra unless the line’s offer says otherwise. SmartCruiser instant savings and bonus onboard credit are provided by SmartCruiser on top of the cruise line’s price and are not available when booking direct; amounts are per stateroom, vary by stateroom category and are shown for the lowest category offered. Special SmartCruiser rates are pricing SmartCruiser holds on that sailing for its clients, with extra onboard credit; you book your own stateroom and travel on your own. Senior fares apply to guests 55 and over; resident fares need proof of residency in a listed state or province at check-in; police and fire fares apply to active or retired police, fire and EMT personnel with ID.

New York cruise questions we answer every day
Which terminal does my ship use, and what does parking cost?
Royal Caribbean and Celebrity sail from Cape Liberty in Bayonne, New Jersey, where parking in the terminal lot runs about $22 to $25 a day. Norwegian, Carnival and Oceania use the Manhattan Cruise Terminal on the West Side at 48th to 52nd Streets, with rooftop parking at $45 a night. MSC and Cunard sail from the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal in Red Hook, where the lot is also $45 a night, taxes included. Off-site lots near Newark airport with a shuttle run about $16 to $20 a day. Your confirmation always names the terminal.
Which airport is closest if we are flying in?
Newark (EWR) is the easy answer for Cape Liberty, about 15 miles and 30 minutes by taxi. For Manhattan, LaGuardia is 30 to 45 minutes and JFK about an hour. For Brooklyn, JFK is the shortest ride at 30 to 40 minutes. We can add a transfer or a hotel to your booking.
Should we come in the night before?
If you are driving from within three hours, a same-day arrival is fine; ships board from about 11 a.m. and sail around 4 p.m. If you are flying, come in the night before. Midtown hotels put you ten minutes from the Manhattan terminal, and Jersey City or Bayonne hotels sit next to Cape Liberty.
Do I need a passport to cruise from New York?
On closed-loop sailings that start and end in New York, US citizens can sail to Bermuda, the Bahamas, the Caribbean and Canada with a birth certificate and government photo ID. A passport is required for the Queen Mary 2 crossing and any one-way sailing. We recommend a passport for everyone: if you need to fly home from Bermuda or Halifax, you cannot board without one.
Are taxes and fees included in the prices here?
Yes. Every price on this page includes cruise fare, taxes, fees and port expenses. Gratuities, drinks packages, excursions and parking are extra.
What does SmartCruiser add that I would not get booking direct?
Bonus onboard credit per stateroom on sailings where the line allows it, instant savings on selected departures, Special SmartCruiser rates we hold on popular New York sailings, and senior, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut resident, and police and fire fares when they beat the public price. The picks at the top of the list are the sailings where that extra applies.
