The Brooklyn Cruise Terminal is one of two cruise terminals at the Port of New York. For information on the Manhattan Cruise Terminal (home to most Norwegian cruises), click here.
The Brooklyn Cruise Terminal is located at 72 Bowne Street in Brooklyn. Located in the Red Hook district of Brooklyn, it is a very industrial area of town, but you will see a blue sign for the Brooklyn terminal at the corner of Imlay Street and Bowne. Don't let the area fool you, however — the area is seeing a resurgence with restaurants and shops. The terminal was built in 2006 and features modern amenities to ensure smooth and fast embarkation and debarkation.
