Cape Liberty, New Jersey, is a new port named Bayonne that offers wonderful views of lower Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty. With New York being just a ten-minute drive away most cruise passengers head for the world-class museums, big statues, and even bigger buildings of the Big Apple. However, close to port there is the city of Hoboken that is not only the birthplace of Frank Sinatra, but is also great for pedestrians with its shops and restaurants, an easy walk from the train and ferry terminals.

King’s Wharf, located in Bermuda, consists of eight islands linked by causeways and bridges that are part of a self-governing British Territory, consisting of 150 islands in the western Atlantic Ocean. It is ideal for large cruise ships and is best known for its Georgian-style fort built by the British Navy using convicts, and which later served as a North Atlantic base during both World Wars. Today it is a popular tourist destination and a great place for water sports that include scuba diving, parasailing or riding a glass-bottomed boat to reflect on the wrecks of local history, as well as delightful coral reefs.
