Brooklyn Cruise Terminal Information

Opened in April 2006, the new state-of the art Brooklyn Cruise Terminal has received numerous accolades, including Cruise Terminal of the Year by Princess Cruise Lines and Best New Homeport by PortHole Magazine.  The modern terminal offers all the services and comforts expected from a world-class cruise facility including 200,000 square feet of flexible terminal space, sophisticated gangways, separate bus stalls, and ample parking. Dedicated embarkation and debarkation areas allow passengers to get on the ship without waiting. In its first year of operation, the 182,000-square-foot Brooklyn Cruise Terminal welcomed 40 ships and added 330 new permanent jobs to the Brooklyn waterfront.

The terminal is located in the Red Hook area of Brooklyn, one of the city’s new hotspots with a recent influx of restaurants, retailers, and artists just steps away from the terminal.
