Royal Caribbean Cruises From New York or New Jersey

Passengers embarking on a Royal Caribbean cruise from the New York City area will depart from the Cape Liberty Cruise Port in Bayonne, N.J., just across the Hudson River from Manhattan. While in Bayonne, visitors can glimpse both the Statue of Liberty and the Bayonne Bridge, which remains one of the largest steel arch bridges in the world. Cruisers looking to leave from the New York-New Jersey metropolitan area have an array of choices in Royal Caribbean cruises.
