New York City Before A Cruise: Sailing From the Red Hook Cruise Terminal
Before boarding our cruise from Brooklyn’s Red Hook Cruise Terminal, we spent two unforgettable days exploring New York City on foot. From the quiet galleries of MoMA and the grand halls of the New York Public Library to the bright lights of Broadway and the energy of Times Square, Manhattan quickly became more than just a departure point — it became part of the adventure itself.
Using Midtown as our base, we wandered through Central Park, rode the subway downtown to the 9/11 Memorial, explored the quieter streets of Tribeca, and finally sailed past the Statue of Liberty as the Manhattan skyline faded into the distance. If you are cruising from New York, arriving a few days early might just become one of the best parts of the trip.
