Top destinations on cruises from new jersey.

On a cruise from New Jersey, you’ll be delighted by the British charm and tradition tempered by island vibes. Here, the sand on the beaches has a pink hue and the water is an ethereal shade of blue. Whether you love to golf, snorkel reefs and old shipwrecks, or simply unwind on a beautiful beach, you’ll find many options here.

Greenland & Iceland

What Greenland lacks in population it makes up for in spectacular scenery, Danish culture, and awe-inspiring nature. Take some time to visit museums, watch glaciers calve, and take photos of breathtaking fjords. In Iceland, you can visit a working farm to learn about Icelandic horses and dairy cows, take a polar flight to the edge of the Arctic Circle, or hike through unspoiled wilderness. While you’re here, don’t miss a relaxing soak in one of Iceland’s many geothermal pools.

The Cape Liberty Cruise Port is conveniently located in close proximity to Newark Airport and is less than an hour’s drive from New York City.

Top Sights & Attractions for Cruises Leaving from New Jersey

Statue of liberty.

Many of the best photographs, postcards, and video footage of the Statue of Liberty were taken from the incomparable vantage point of Cape Liberty. A gift from France to the United States as a gesture of friendship and amicable relations, the Statue of Liberty was unveiled in October 1886. For American citizens, immigrants, and visitors alike, the raised torch of the Statue of Liberty towering 305 feet above the New York Harbor now symbolizes freedom and goodwill to all who arrive on American shores. Immigrants making the long, treacherous voyage across the ocean to the U.S. were greeted by Lady Liberty welcoming them to their new home.

Downtown Manhattan

If you can, take a few extra days before or after your cruise from NJ to spend time in nearby New York City. Manhattan, the heart of NYC, is home to some of the most famous sights and attractions in the world. Spend a night on Broadway and watch your favorite musical. Stroll under the neon lights of Times Square among thousands of New Yorkers and tourists alike. Read a book in the green grass of Central Park and stand under the Empire State Building to understand its unparalleled vastness. Visit the myriad of museums, restaurants, libraries, famous movie filming sites, and architectural wonders in this amazing city.

Home of Alexander Hamilton

On a cruise from NJ, don’t miss a visit to the home of Alexander Hamilton in Manhattan, The Grange at 141st Street. Born in 1755 on the Caribbean island of Nevis, Hamilton came to New York at the age of 18, became a hero of the Revolutionary War, and went on to become a congressman, a prominent lawyer, and the first Secretary of the Treasury.

Learn More About Cape Liberty Shore Excursions

Where can i eat near the cape liberty cruise port.

Although there are no restaurants near the port, the nearby city of Newark has every restaurant and type of food imaginable. Additionally, there is a food truck with coffee, bagels, and other delicious bites outside the entrance of the cruise terminal, which is convenient for those departing on cruises from New Jersey.

What’s the culture & history of the Cape Liberty cruise port?

Conveniently located in Lower New York Harbor, the Cape Liberty Cruise Port was originally created by private developers in 1930 who intended it for industrial use. However, the ideal location and sheer size of the port made it an ideal candidate for use by the U.S. Navy in WWII. The peninsula upon which the port sits off the eastern end of Bayonne Bay is man-made. In 2003, the BLRA and Royal Caribbean International announced their agreement to turn the 430-acre port into a cruise terminal, and in 2013 Royal Caribbean International built a brand new, sleek, and innovative cruise terminal featuring LED lighting and modern design.

Where can I go shopping near the port?

Since the cruise port sits on a peninsula off the mainland, there are no shopping options in proximity to the port, besides a kiosk with basic essentials in the cruise terminal. About a 20-minute drive from the port, guests can find TJ Maxx and Walmart for last-minute cruise essentials.

How can I get around New Jersey?

While public transportation is available to bring you to a drop-off point outside the Cape Liberty cruise terminal, Port Authority prohibits any guests to arrive at the port in any transportation other than a motor vehicle. Pedestrians are also prohibited from entering the restricted port area, so walking from the bus drop-off station is not an option. Therefore, you’re required to acquire a taxi or other car service for the remainder of the way to the terminal (about a $10 taxi fare). Taxis, Uber/Lyft drivers, and private car services all have access to the restricted areas of the port as well.

What are the local currency and tipping customs?

The official currency in Cape Liberty is the US dollar (USD). Major credit cards are widely used and accepted, and ATMs are readily available throughout the city and port. Most prices displayed on merchandise and food do not yet include gratuities or taxes. Tipping is not mandatory but is generally considered to be proper and appropriate etiquette for services rendered.

Viking offers ocean cruises between New York and Reykjavik in June, August, and September.

Trade the soaring skyscrapers of New York City for coastal Canada, remote Greenland, and endless Icelandic summer days. This Viking itinerary makes two stops in Canada and two stops in Greenland before circumnavigating Iceland, beginning with the remote Westfjords and ending in Reykjavik.

Norwegian Prima is one of the best cruises for solo travelers departing from New York City.

On most cruise lines, traveling solo means paying up to double the fare for a cabin to yourself, but not on the Norwegian Prima . This ship has a special area set aside for solo travelers with 73 studio suites and a private common area for mingling. Each of the Norwegian Prima’s 95-square-foot studio suites comes with a full-size bed, en suite bathroom, and a vanity table. And while space inside these studios are tight, you’ll likely be so busy go-karting, lounging by the pool, taking in shows, and relaxing in hot tubs, it’s unlikely you’ll find yourself spending much time in the room beyond catching some shut eye. The Norwegian Prima sails to Bermuda and the Caribbean from New York and offers a transatlantic repositioning itinerary.Best transatlantic cruise from New York

New York Cruise Guide

While a popular cruise port for most major cruise lines, New York City is a vacation in itself. Before or after taking a cruise to the Caribbean, the Bahamas, Bermuda, Canada and New England, or sailing on a world cruise, the cosmopolitan city of New York offers an endless list of attractions and excursions to check out.

Explore the highlights of Manhattan on a walking tour or take a Helicopter ride over famous landmarks like the Empire State Building, Central Park, Rockefeller Center and more. It’s also a great pedestrian-friendly city to explore local dining, entertainment and nightlife by foot on your own schedule. Subway lines, taxis, busses, bicycles and ferries are affordable and easily accessible and can easily take you to several boroughs throughout the city, including Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island, and the Bronx. Pick up some souvenirs by the Statue of Liberty, or designer goodies at the ultra-hip SoHo, or stroll through Greenwich Village for nifty craft shops and bookstores. Enjoy art on every corner, whether it’s the glistening lights of Times Square, or the exhibits at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim Museum. Once you’re done with the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple, you’ll appreciate the contrast of unwinding on a calm cruise at sea.

Lifelong ‘ghostbusters’ fan tours movie’s iconic filming locations around nyc in $125k hearse he painstakingly restored.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Who you gonna call? This guy!

A New Jersey dad has spent years and a small fortune to build his own “Ghostbusters” Ecto-1 car – the perfect ride to tour the iconic Big Apple locations featured in the original movie.

Lifelong Ghostbusters fanatic Nicky Ferrara, 38, had dreamed of owning the Ecto-1 over the years but his quest for the car started rolling with an eBay find of a 1959 Cadillac Landau hearse that had been stored in a California garage for nearly 50 years.

Nicky Ferrara in his workshop, standing by the Ghostbusters Ecto-1 car replica he built

“Honestly, when they sold this car, they didn’t even know what they had,” the licensed customs broker told The Post during a recent tour in his Ecto-1.

“My wife said, ‘if you want to buy a hearse and make it a Ghostbusters car, do it,'” Ferrara said.

Ferrara immediately clicked the “buy it now” button, shelling out a cool $55,000 for the vintage hearse — he said it still reeked of formaldehyde when it rolled into the driveway of his Essex County home in 2014. All told he’s spent about $125,000 on the attention-grabbing vehicle.

He then embarked on the ultimate scavenger hunt, contacting scrap yards and garages from California to Toronto and across the Midwest in search of hard-to-find parts.

“I’m calling junk yards in the Midwest asking, ‘do you have this piece? Do you have that piece?'”

Ferrara made his replica out of a 1959 Cadillac Landau hearse that he bought on eBay.

His quest for a perfectly screen-accurate Ecto-1 even brought him to Sony Pictures Studio in Culver City, California to get a closer look at the original car used in the film, which was displayed on the lot at the time.

“I watched the movie a gazillion times to piece together the car but I wanted to get the exact measurements for the roof rack,” Ferrara said.

Armed with a selfie stick and tape measure, Ferrara snapped pictures of the car’s roof so he could accurately reproduce every detail.

Using a motley assortment of bits and bobs — including brackets and lights from a 1980s police cruiser and a siren from a 1960s fire engine — Ferrara successfully Frankensteined his Landau into a screen-realistic, road-ready version of the Ecto-1.

He says his kids Nicky, 5, and Domenica, 3, think “having this car is normal life, like, ‘oh, everyone has a Ghostbusters car.'”

Ferrara estimates there are a small handful of comparable Ecto-1 replicas out there, but says “all the other owners keep it in a showroom or museum — they really don’t take it out like me.”‘

The car has appeared at promotional and private events, on city tours — and Ferrara says he even uses the car as a “daily driver,” taking it to run errands, though he admits it’s not the most reliable ride on the road.

Ferrara even visited the real Ecto-1 at Sony Pictures Studio to get the details right.

“You’re constantly checking fluids, tweaking with the brakes and the brake lines, it’s a labor of love,” Ferrara says.

“Every time you start it up, you hold your breath a bit.”

With Ferrara’s investment and attention to detail, the car has been appraised for $300,000, he said.

He’s since put the car to work, taking fans of the franchise on spook-tacular tours around Manhattan to spotlight some of the movie’s best-known filming locations.

Stops include the New York Public Library, Tavern on the Green, and the Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, which the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man famously stepped on in the movie.

Of course, no Ghostbusters-themed tour would be complete without a stop at FDNY Hook & Ladder Company 8 in Tribeca, home of Ghostbusters headquarters in the film.

Ferrara even keeps the car stocked with essential Ghostbusters equipment like proton packs and ghost traps for fans to pose with outside the firehouse.

A private tour in Ferrara’s Ecto-1 runs $850 for two people plus $100 per extra guest, or $275 per guest for a public tour where riders are paired with other people.

Ferrara says he has an understanding with the Ghostbusters rightsholder Sony Pictures that enables him to run his business without fear of a copyright suit.

He even did a promotion with the company for the latest release in the series, “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” in exchange for red-carpet tickets to the film’s premiere for his mechanic and promoter.

“I was hesitant to do ghost tours, but ever since Sony relaunched the brand with the female reboot, they’ve been more encompassing of the fan base,” Ferrara said.

“I floated the idea of tours with Sony and they’re like, ‘we’re good, that’s fine’ it just can’t be in any short films or movies.”

Whenever Ferrara rolls his Ecto-1 into town, people take notice.

The Post took a ride with Ferrara on a preview run of the latest iteration of his ghost tour, set to launch later this year. To say the car turns heads is a bit of an understatement.

“You feel like a celebrity just driving it, to see the way people react is just incredible,” he said, clearly relishing the moment.

“I love driving this car. It’s so much fun. And as we drive, if you look at the people’s faces, they lose their sh–t.”

Just as he promised, pedestrians of all stripes stopped what they were doing to gawk as the car rolled by.

A traffic cop in Midtown stopped writing a parking ticket to belt out a “Ghost-bus-ters!” to the tune of the movie’s theme song by Ray Parker Jr. upon seeing the hearse.

Cops especially seem to love the Ecto-1, Ferrara said, and regularly egg him on to fire up the lights and sirens, even though they’re “technically illegal” to have on a civilian vehicle.

“They encourage it, which is really, really cool.”

A construction crew wearing reflective vests and hard hats let out a hearty “hell yeah!” as Ferrara drove by, prompting Ferrara to get on the public address system and ask “Have you guys seen any ghosts?”

New Yorkers catching a glimpse of the car flashed ear-to-ear smiles of recognition and whipped out their camera phones to snap a photo or record video.

Many people said Ghostbusters has a personal significance in their lives.

Outside of 55 Central Park West, better known as “Spook Central,” where the film’s climactic final stand-off took place, Gregory Pozamantir, 62, recalled watching a pirated VHS tape of the film as a youth in Leningrad.

Ferrara did a promotion with Sony Pictures for the new movie "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire."

“I saw Ghostbusters on a bootleg VHS copy, not official at all. Us kids had to find someone with a VCR player, which were very expensive back in those days,” he shared.

“It brings back a lot of memories seeing this car. I need to watch the movie again.”

Simon Calderon, 34, from Highbridge in the Bronx, was sporting a full Ghostbusters suit complete with homemade proton pack when Ferrara’s Ecto-1 unexpectedly pulled up outside the Tribeca firehouse.

“I adore this car. Some people want a Lamborghini or an Aston Martin like James Bond — give me the Ecto-1 any day of the week,” he said.

As much as he loves Ghostbusters, Ferrara said next he has plans to collect and restore a fleet of other famous movie cars for similar tours.

On his shortlist of upcoming projects include the DeLorean from “Back to the Future,” the Ford Explorer tour car from “Jurassic Park,” and a Volkswagen van from “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” he plans to convert into a “mobile pizza catering truck.”

Ferrara says he thinks of himself as the car’s custodian, a role he takes seriously.

“I own the car, but it’s like the people’s car. It belongs to the fandom.”

Released in 1984 and starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson as the titular Ghostbusters, the film was a smash hit, grossing more than $282 million in its initial theatrical run.

It spawned a 1989 sequel, “Ghostbusters II,” but the series remained dormant for more than 25 years until 2016’s female-led reboot, also titled “Ghostbusters.”

Releases in the 2020s so far include 2021’s “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” and “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” released in March 2024.

How to travel around the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore: A look at the traffic impact and alternate routes

By Rohan Mattu

Updated on: March 26, 2024 / 12:44 PM EDT / CBS Baltimore

BALTIMORE -- A major traffic impact is anticipated after the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore collapsed early Tuesday into the Patapsco River, cutting off a major artery into and out of the port city. 

A bridge column was hit by a large container ship around 1:30 a.m., sending an unknown number of vehicles and people into the Patapsco River, authorities said. 

Detours in place after Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse

Maryland transit authorities quickly put detours in place for those traveling through Dundalk or the Curtis Bay/Hawkins Point side of the bridge. The estimated 31,000 who travel the bridge every day will need to find a new route for the forseeable future. 

Alternate routes to cross the harbor are through I-95 and I-895 with the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel (I-95) and Fort McHenry Tunnel (I-895).  

"I am expecting that folks will have delays of over an hour this morning because the impacts are not only going to be felt here in the local neighborhoods but for all of those people who normally don't even travel that southeast corridor of 695," First Alert Traffic reporter Angela Foster said. "If you travel into the tunnels normally you're used to the typical congestion but today, not only will you see excessive delays, you'll likely see authorities there."

10.jpg

Tractor-trailer inspections

Tractor-trailers that have clearance to use the tunnels will need to be checked for hazardous materials, which are not permitted in tunnels, and that could further hold up traffic. 

The MDTA says vehicles carrying bottled propane gas over 10 pounds per container (maximum of 10 containers), bulk gasoline, explosives, significant amounts of radioactive materials, and other hazardous materials are prohibited from using the Fort McHenry Tunnel (I-95) or the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel (I-895).  

Any vehicles transporting hazardous materials should use the western section of I-695 around the tunnels, officials said. 

About 31,000 travel the bridge every day, officials said, adding up to over 11 million a year.   

Where is the Francis Scott Key Bridge? 

The Key Bridge crosses the Patapsco River, a key waterway that along with the Port of Baltimore serves as a hub for East Coast shipping. 

The bridge is the outermost of three toll crossings of Baltimore's Harbor and the final link in Interstate 695, known in the region as the Baltimore Beltway, which links Baltimore and Washington, D.C. 

The bridge was built after the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel reached capacity and experienced heavy congestion almost daily, according to the MDTA. 

State of emergency declared

Gov. Wes Moore declared a state of emergency, which allows Maryland to coordinate and request emergency resources and federal support. 

Moore said his office is in close communication with U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. 

"We will remain in close contact with federal, state, and local entities that are carrying out rescue efforts as we continue to assess and respond to this tragedy," the governor said in a statement. 

The Patapsco River, which the bridge crossed, is a key waterway that serves the Port of Baltimore as a hub for East Coast shipping.

Could ships be rerouted to New Jersey ports following Baltimore Key Bridge collapse?

In the wake of a devastating bridge collapse in Baltimore, shipping routes for cargo and cruise ships may undergo significant alterations, potentially rerouting vessels to ports in New Jersey.

At about 1:30 a.m. on Tuesday, a vessel leaving the Port of Baltimore struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge. A video shows the ship hitting one of the bridge's columns before part of the bridge fell onto the ship and then fully collapsed into the Patapsco River.

As of Tuesday afternoon, a massive search was underway as multiple vehicles along with contractors repairing potholes were on the bridge at the time of its collapse, as reported by USA TODAY .

Data from ship tracking and maritime analytics provider MarineTraffic shows that on the day of the crash, 29 ships were expected to arrive at the port within 24 hours and 14 more were expected in the coming days.

Two people were rescued during the initial hours of the search.

The mayor of Baltimore, Brandon M. Scott, issued an executive order Tuesday morning declaring a state of emergency for the city. It is set to remain in place for 30 days.

"The Executive Order mobilizes the City of Baltimore's Emergency Operations Plan to deploy emergency resources to protect the persons affected by the incident and expands the resources available to tackle the emergency situation," the press release stated.

The Port of Baltimore announced that vessel traffic into and out of the Port of Baltimore will be suspended until further notice.

Between cargo ships and cruise ships, numerous vessels sail in and out of the port each day. In the wake of this tragedy, where will they all go?

Major ports nearby

The Port of New Jersey and New York is the largest port on the East Coast and a relatively short trip from the Port of Baltimore, making it a viable option for rerouting.

Other major ports along the East Coast that could see rerouted ships include:

  • Port of Savannah
  • Port of Charleston
  • Port of Virginia
  • Port of Miami
  • Port of Boston

Cruise ships

Three major cruise lines run voyages in and out of the Port of Baltimore: Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian, all using the port for Caribbean, Canadian and other Atlantic destinations.

A Royal Caribbean spokesperson said the company is working on alternatives for its ships.

"Our Port Logistics team is currently working on alternatives for our ongoing and upcoming sailings. We will message our guests and travel partners directly once our plans are finalized."

Royal Caribbean's, Vision of the Seas is on a 12-night Southern Caribbean sailing that is not due back into port until April 4.

East Coast Cruise Vacation, New York

5 Best Cruises From New York

Where will your ship sail to as you head off into the sunset .

By Donna Heiderstadt | Published on January 24, 2024

New York City is famous for many things, including skyscrapers, Broadway shows and some of the world's top restaurants. It's also a great jumping-off point for cruises to the Caribbean, The Bahamas, Bermuda, Canada, New England and even transatlantic crossings to Europe.

Some of the top cruises out of New York are available with Royal Caribbean, which sails from Cape Liberty, New Jersey. The cruise terminal is located on the southwestern side of New York Harbor and is easily reached by car. Long-term parking is available, so you can head out on your cruise after making the drive.

If you plan to fly in before your cruise, Newark Liberty International Airport is just nine miles away. You can arrange to be met by a Royal Caribbean representative there and whisked off to your ship. Or you can arrive a day or two early to enjoy the sights and activities of New York City. Catch a Broadway show, see the Statue of Liberty or explore The Metropolitan Museum of Art before setting sail. When it's time to board, book a car service or taxi to Cape Liberty, about 20 minutes away from the Holland Tunnel (without traffic), and get ready for your getaway.

One of my favorite memories of sailing from Cape Liberty aboard Anthem of the Seas ® was the 360-degree view of New York Harbor with the Statue of Liberty set against the lower Manhattan skyline. Stay on deck until your ship passes beneath the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, and as you enter the Atlantic Ocean, look left to catch a glimpse of the circa-1927 Cyclone roller coaster on Coney Island.

Where will your ship sail to as you head off into the sunset? There are a variety of incredible options, so read on for the five best cruises from New Jersey sailing out of Cape Liberty.

1. Best For A Caribbean Vacation

Is the Caribbean calling, but you'd rather sail there than fly? If you live within driving distance of the New York metro area, island-hopping is as easy as boarding Royal Caribbean's Anthem of the Seas ® or Odyssey of the Seas ℠ in Cape Liberty for a sun-seekers cruise from New Jersey.

These 4,180-guest Quantum Class ships offer 11- or 12-night Southern Caribbean cruise itineraries in January of 2024 — easily some of the most exciting cruises out of New York. Depending on the sailing, you can visit four to six islands after unpacking just once onboard the ship. Both ships also offer thrilling onboard amenities and world-class entertainment for couples and families. Some of my favorite spaces are Two70® for multimedia performances and the SeaPlex® for court sports and bumper car rides.

Ports visited vary, but itineraries include San Juan, Puerto Rico, where historic sites meet eco-adventure; Phillipsburg, St. Maarten, for incredible beaches and duty-free shopping; Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, for scenic tours and snorkeling adventures; Castries, St. Lucia, for breathtaking landscapes and Creole cuisine; and Bridgetown, Barbados , for food tours and rum tasting. No matter the itinerary, you'll get the full Caribbean experience on these sailings.

2. Best For Fall Leaf-Peeping

Forest Piton Peaks, Castries St. Lucia

Some of the best cruises out of New York are timed around fall foliage season. Royal Caribbean's nine-night Canada and New England sailings on Liberty of the Seas ® visit some of the region's top ports in September and October of 2024 and offer access to vivid landscapes and seasonal activities.

Liberty of the Seas ® , a 3,798-guest Freedom Class ship, is a great option for both couples and families, with 10 dining venues and onboard attractions that include the Tidal Wave℠ water slide and an ice-skating rink.

You'll visit Boston , a beacon for history lovers, followed by Portland, Maine for fresh seafood, microbreweries and lighthouses. Canada's autumnal display can be enjoyed during calls on Sydney and Halifax in Nova Scotia, where coastal hamlets such as Peggy's Cove are postcard-perfect against a patchwork of orange, red and gold. Nature is equally magnificent in St. John, New Brunswick, where tides in the Bay of Fundy recede to reveal stunning rock formations.

3. Best For A Playful Island Escape

If your family cruise goals include a breezy island escape with lots of playtime, Royal Caribbean's seven-night Bahamas & Perfect Day Cruise from Cape Liberty on Anthem of the Seas®  is a fantastic option. It's available on nine dates from February to April in 2024

You'll call on Port Canaveral (Orlando, Florida), where you can soak up the sunshine on a nearby beach, visit the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex or head to an Orlando theme park. Next up: Perfect Day at CocoCay, Royal Caribbean's incredible private Bahamian island experience. It offers something for every member of the family, from pristine beaches that are perfect for a swim to Thrill Waterpark® with its spiraling slides and wave pool.

If you're cruising as a couple, join the party at  Oasis Lagoon® , the Caribbean's largest pool, or relax in a private overwater bungalow at  Coco Beach Club® . The final port is lively Nassau in The Bahamas, where local hospitality can be enjoyed on snorkeling excursions, dolphin encounters and visits to the Aquaventure waterpark at Atlantis.

With three sea days, playtime continues onboard  Anthem of the Seas ® — including a ride in the North Star® sightseeing capsule for a birds-eye view of the glittering Bahamian islands.

4. Best For An Easy Couple's Getaway

What's better than two days in beautiful Bermuda? Two more fun-filled days aboard Liberty of the Seas ®. Royal Caribbean's five-night Bermuda cruise from Cape Liberty is offered on 15 dates from May to October in 2024 and these cruises from New York make an ideal couple's getaway. The itinerary mixes Bermuda's history, stunning landscapes and legendary dark rums with the onboard spa treatments and romantic specialty dining that Royal Caribbean guests love.

Liberty of the Seas ® spends two days at the Royal Naval Dockyard, which offers access to nearby shopping and museums as well as shore excursions to historic St. George's, scenic Horseshoe Bay and the island's capital, Hamilton.

5. Best For Your First Transatlantic Crossing

It's hard to imagine anything better than enjoying your first transatlantic cruise onboard the spectacular Anthem of the Seas ®. There's the luxury of time and space as you cross the sea, plus stops in four European countries.

Your experience during the crossing is just as important as your days spent in Europe. While the sun is out, head for the Solarium pool, an indoor, adults-only oasis, or the Vitality℠ Spa for a rejuvenating facial or tension-taming massage. At night, enjoy shows at the Royal Theater, rock cover bands in Music Hall and explore your favorite global cuisines in the main dining room or one of the ship's seven specialty restaurants.

After crossing the Atlantic, the ship's April 2024 cruise calls on Funchal, Madeira, a Portuguese island known for its spectacular scenery and Madeira wine-tasting rooms. Then you'll visit La Coruna, Spain for a day spent exploring the city's ancient Roman heritage and seafood-centric culinary scene. With 12 hours in Le Havre, France, you can take a quick day trip to Paris to see the Eiffel Tower, and after departing in Southampton, England, it's easy to end your dream journey with a few nights in London.
