Thursday, October 1 | Cape Liberty, New Jersey
Whether you’re eyeing art at The Met or the MoMa, tucking into a slice of famous New York-style pizza in Little Italy or enjoying a picnic in scenic Central Park, NYC brims with countless ways to fill your days with wonder. That’s why a cruise from New York City is a great option for anyone who loves to keep the thrills going strong — even before you set sail. Globally acclaimed theater productions, award-winning dining and iconic monuments are among the best of New York City’s attractions, but this vibrant metropolis also offers hidden gems and unexpected surprises around every street corner. Head to Central Park for a tranquil break from the city’s fast-paced bustle, or hit a jazz club and learn about the influence of Black musicians and artists in the historic neighborhood of Harlem. Greenwich Village overflows with hip cafes and bars, and in Chinatown you can savor authentic Asian eats before visiting the Museum of Chinese in America.
Your ship departs promptly at 3:00 pm, so plan to arrive at least 2-3 hours early to account for checking in and boarding protocols. During this time, many of the ship's amenities are open and operating, so feel free to start your vacation early.

While at sea, take time to recharge before the next adventure. Lounge by the pool, be spoiled at the spa, dine at any of the onboard restaurants or explore the thrills on each deck until we arrive at the next destination.

There's always something new to discover in Portland, Maine. A four-season location, this sophisticated seaside city holds itineraries for any kind of traveler.
