A cruise docks in Brooklyn

If you’re taking a cruise that begins or ends in New York, you could find yourself in Brooklyn instead of Manhattan. With the arrival of the Queen Mary 2 on April 15, the city opened a major new cruise terminal in Brooklyn’s gritty Red Hook neighborhood. The Brooklyn Cruise Terminal is the new designated “home port” in New York for the QM2, its sister ship Queen Elizabeth 2, and several other ships from the Cunard and Princess cruise lines, both owned by Carnival.
