Norwegian Cruise From New York

Most people think of cruises setting sail from balmy and exotic ports, but as the largest port on the U.S. East Coast, New York sees more than its share--especially from a cruise line like Norwegian, with a reputation for unconventional tour ideas. Norwegian cruises from New York include:

  • Tours of Canada and New England, including the majestic Bay of Fundy
  • One- and two-day "getaway" tours around New York City, something of a specialty from Norwegian Cruises
  • Week-long cruises to Florida, the Bahamas and Bermuda
  • Two-week tours of the Southern Caribbean, including Barbados, St. Thomas, Eastern Mexico and domestic destination points in New Orleans and Miami

Norwegian Cruise Lines touts a casual and informal atmosphere, punctuated by its Freestyle Cruising policy. The cruises don't feature seating or dining times for dinners, and meals are made to order instead of being offered in a buffet. This allows passengers to linger for dessert and coffee if they wish, and start meals when they feel ready rather than when the ship requires it. The dress code and activities calendar are similarly relaxed, helping to give Norwegian Cruises a sense of distinction.

Look for a New York Travel Agency to Find Last-Minute Discounts on Norwegian Cruises

As a departure point, New York City is easy to reach from other locations in North America. Good planning from a reliable travel agency can save money on those expenses, allowing travelers to spend a little more on the cruise itself. Direct Line Cruises is based in the New York area and can incorporate sudden changes and last-minute discounts on cruises leaving from that port very easily.
