PORTS OF CALL
Cape Liberty, NJ (New York, NY)
Your cruise documents will say Cape Liberty, New Jersey, but let's be perfectly honest: the true destination here is New York City. Sailing from this port without dedicating a few days to the city that never sleeps is like visiting a grand library and only reading the table of contents. As your travel advisors, we consider a pre- or post-cruise stay in Manhattan not just an option, but an essential part of the experience. It transforms your vacation from a wonderful sea voyage into an unforgettable land-and-sea journey.
Think of your cruise as the main event and a New York stay as the perfect overture or grand finale. The key is planning, and that begins with the simple logistics of getting from your ship in New Jersey into the heart of Manhattan. A ride-share or pre-booked car service is the most direct route, typically a 30-45 minute journey outside of peak traffic, offering your first thrilling glimpses of the skyline. For those flying in, the port’s proximity to Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) is a significant convenience, making the transition from air to land seamless.
**Crafting Your New York Itinerary: A Two- or Three-Day Primer**
With a city this vast, the goal isn't to see everything, but to experience the best of it at a pace that energizes rather than exhausts. We recommend focusing on one or two neighborhoods per day.
**Day 1: The Iconic Core & Theatrical Heights**
Start in Midtown, the city’s vibrant, beating heart. This is where you’ll find the landmarks of your imagination. Begin at Rockefeller Center; we prefer the Top of the Rock observation deck over the Empire State Building for its staggered viewing platforms and unparalleled views *of* the Empire State Building itself. From there, it’s a short walk to the magnificent St. Patrick's Cathedral and the architectural splendor of Grand Central Terminal—be sure to look up at the celestial ceiling.
Yes, you must see Times Square, but our advice is to treat it like a force of nature: witness its dazzling, chaotic energy for fifteen minutes, then strategically retreat. As evening approaches, the Theater District comes alive. A pre-theater dinner in Hell’s Kitchen offers a world of culinary options, from authentic Thai to rustic Italian, just steps from Broadway. Securing tickets to a show in advance is always wise, but for the spontaneous, the TKTS booth in Times Square offers same-day discounts. Seeing a Broadway production is a quintessential New York experience that never fails to deliver.
**Day 2: History, Remembrance, and Neighborhood Charm**
Head downtown to immerse yourself in the city’s history. The 9/11 Memorial & Museum is a profoundly moving and essential experience. We strongly advise booking timed-entry tickets online well in advance. The quiet reverence of the memorial pools, set in the footprints of the Twin Towers, is a powerful moment of reflection. Nearby, One World Observatory provides a breathtaking, panoramic perspective of the city and its waterways.
From there, explore the Financial District’s narrow streets, walking past the New York Stock Exchange and Trinity Church. Then, shift gears by wandering into the West Village. This is a different New York entirely—a charming labyrinth of brownstones, leafy streets, and unique boutiques. Sit by the fountain in Washington Square Park, watch the chess players, and soak in the neighborhood’s bohemian spirit. For dinner, the Village offers an abundance of intimate, high-quality restaurants perfect for recounting the day's discoveries.
**Day 3: Art, Nature, and a Bridge with a View**
Dedicate your final day to the intersection of culture and nature. Head to the Upper East Side’s Museum Mile. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is a world unto itself; our strategy is to pick two or three exhibits that genuinely interest you—perhaps the Egyptian Temple of Dendur or the European Paintings—and explore them deeply rather than attempting a marathon. For modern art lovers, the Guggenheim’s iconic spiral building is as much a masterpiece as the collection within.
In the afternoon, escape into the curated wilderness of Central Park. Rent a rowboat on The Lake, stroll through the literary walk at The Mall, or find a quiet bench in the Shakespeare Garden. The park is the city’s collective backyard, a perfect place to decompress. For a truly memorable final act, take the subway to Brooklyn. Walk back towards Manhattan across the Brooklyn Bridge as the sun begins to set. The view of the skyline lighting up is, without exaggeration, one of the greatest cityscapes in the world and the perfect image to carry with you as you begin or end your cruise.
By investing a few days, you’re not just adding a city to your trip; you’re giving yourself the gift of context, culture, and energy that will enrich your entire vacation. It’s the savvy way to travel, and it ensures you get the absolute most out of your well-deserved time away.
At Sea - Cruising
Royal Naval Dockyard, Bermuda
The Royal Naval Dockyard is a destination in its own right, a sprawling 19th-century naval fortress repurposed as Bermuda's primary cruise port. While its stone walls contain a number of attractions, its true value is as an efficient and scenic gateway to the rest of the island.
Within the Dockyard's immediate, walkable vicinity, the main highlight is the National Museum of Bermuda. Housed within the formidable Keep, it offers a comprehensive look at the island's maritime legacy, with the restored Commissioner's House providing panoramic ocean views. For a taste of local creativity, observe glassblowers at the Dockyard Glassworks or browse authentic goods at the Bermuda Craft Market. The historic Frog & Onion Pub, set in an 18th-century cooperage, offers a convenient spot for a meal.
To experience Bermuda's iconic pink-sand beaches, you must venture beyond the Dockyard. The island's excellent public transportation makes this straightforward. The fast ferry is the most scenic and popular option, offering direct service to the capital city of Hamilton—ideal for exploring Front Street's shops and restaurants—and a longer, picturesque route to the UNESCO World Heritage site of St. George's. For the famous South Shore beaches, including the world-renowned Horseshoe Bay, public buses and shuttles provide regular service from the Dockyard's transportation hub. Taxis are also readily available.
Consider the Dockyard your well-equipped basecamp for a day of island exploration. Its historical significance is genuine, but the celebrated landscapes of Bermuda await just a short ferry or bus ride away.
