About this site
Compiled and maintained by Andrew Budai, webmaster. Schedule last updated .
NewYorkCruiseSchedule is an independent schedule of cruises leaving New York City. It lists 262 sailings on 30 ships from 13 cruise lines, from October 2026 to October 2028.
We don't sell cruises. There is no booking engine, account or newsletter here. When you find a sailing you like, we send you to Cruisebound, which sells that exact sailing, or to the cruise line, to check the price and book.
Who runs this site
Andrew Budai compiles and maintains NewYorkCruiseSchedule. He is an experienced webmaster with more than 10 years in SEO and digital advertising, and he has been building his own websites for the past year. He wants this site to be genuinely helpful and also profitable. He is not a travel agent, and the schedule comes from the sources listed below, not from personal experience.
How the schedule is put together
New York has more going on than most ports, so each sailing is built from three sources, each used for what it does best:
- Cruisebound, a cruise retailer, publishes every sailing it sells from New York, with today's fare. Each sailing's own page gives the day-by-day itinerary, and that is where our ports of call come from.
- Cruise NYC, the official site of New York City's cruise terminals, publishes a berthing calendar for both of them, run by the New York City Economic Development Corporation. We check every sailing against it, and it is the only place our terminals come from.
- Past the calendar's last day, CruiseTimetables is the independent check of which ship leaves on which day. It doesn't say which terminal, so those sailings show none yet.
- If we can't confirm the ports of call, the sailing is left out. We would rather show fewer cruises than show one with gaps. If two sources disagree, the sailing stays on the site and is marked, so you can check it with the line.
We never work out a terminal from the cruise line. In the official data several ships use Manhattan one year and Brooklyn the next, and a wrong guess sends someone to the wrong borough on the day they sail.
We don't list Cape Liberty in Bayonne, New Jersey, so Royal Caribbean and Celebrity are not here. Ships that only call in New York partway through a voyage are not departures, and lines Cruisebound doesn't sell from here have no confirmed ports for us to publish.
How sure we are
As of 2026-10-31:
| Status | Sailings | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Confirmed | 252 | The ship is on the official calendar for that day or, past the calendar's last day, on CruiseTimetables. |
| Single source | 9 | Cruisebound sells it, but it is further ahead than either check reaches. Check these with the line. |
| Sources disagree | 1 | The official calendar doesn't show this ship on that day. Marked in the tables, and worth checking with the line. |
We record which ports a sailing visits. The order and the times in port can change, so check the line's day-by-day itinerary if that matters to you.
About the fares
A fare here is a starting price per person, for the cheapest cabin listed, with taxes and port fees included. 260 of the 262 sailings have one. Each fare shows the date we checked it.
These are not live quotes. Cruise prices move every day, so treat a fare as a way to compare one sailing with another, then get the real price from the line. Where we have no fare, the table says "check prices" instead of guessing.
Keeping it current
Fares are re-checked on a schedule and the site is rebuilt afterwards. Sailings drop off automatically once they have left. The date of the last update is at the top of every listing and in the footer.
Download the schedule
The whole schedule is available as a file, one row per sailing, rebuilt every morning with the site: CSV for a spreadsheet, or JSON. Each row gives the departure and return dates, nights, the terminal where Cruise NYC's calendar confirms it, ship, line, itinerary, region, ports of call, the starting fare and the date it was read, and the page that covers it. You are welcome to use and quote it, with a link back to this site. You can also put a live list of sailings on your own site with our schedule widget.

Independence
This site is not affiliated with New York City, with any cruise line or with any travel agency. Links to cruise lines may become affiliate links. The affiliate disclosure explains what that means. It does not change which sailings we list or the order they appear in.
When something is wrong
Cruise lines change schedules often, and a list like this can fall behind between updates. The cruise line is always the final word on dates, ports and prices.
