Top Destinations on Cruises from New Jersey

Bermuda

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.

Southern Caribbean

Cruise from New Jersey to Fort Lauderdale, stopping in Bermuda, Aruba, and Curaçao along the way. Snorkel or scuba dive to see any of Bermuda’s over 300 shipwrecks. Lounging on pink sandy beaches and exploring the Crystal Caves are two more must-dos here. Experience Aruba's coral reef and tropical fish with a unique helmet dive and guided tour that lets you walk on the ocean floor. In Curaçao, cross the floating Queen Emma Bridge for gorgeous views of Willemstad and bring home a bottle of blue Curaçao from the source.

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.
