I thought it would be appropriate this week to add New York City to Beyondships cruise photo destination guides. To me, the fact that New York is such a vibrant destination illustrates the City’s resilience and its recovery. Our photo guide pays tribute to the City and hopefully illustrates some of its spirit.
New York Harbor is the year-round homeport for ships from Norwegian Cruise Lines and Royal Caribbean. Carnival Cruise Lines has announced that it too will be basing a ship in New York year-round starting next year. On a seasonal basis, New York is the base of ships from Celebrity Cruises, Cunard Line, Holland America Line, Princess Cruises, MSC Cruises and Carnival. Disney has announced its intention to deploy a ship to New York as well.
In addition to the ships that cruise from New York, there are many other lines with ships that come for a day or two for a port call including AIDA, P&O Cruises, Seabourn, Oceania, and Crystal.
Thus, New York is a cruise destination in two ways. First, it is an embarkation port where passengers often stay for a day or so before or after a cruise. Second, it is a port of call where passengers explore the city as part of their cruise experience.
The Beyondships’ New York guide presents photographs and a discussion of New York as a cruise port, getting around, the places of interest and the museums. There is also an overview and a brief history. As always, the guide was written with the cruise passenger in mind. Although it is extensive, there is so much in New York it was impossible to cover everything. More will be added over time.
