Cape Liberty Cruise Port in Bayonne, NJ is the New York metro embarkation point for Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises. The port sits at the southern tip of Bayonne on Liberty State Park, with direct Statue of Liberty views from the ships departing for Bermuda, the Caribbean, and Canada/New England itineraries.

Cape Liberty car service from Westchester is 35–45 miles depending on departure town. The standard route is Sprain Brook + Cross Bronx + George Washington Bridge + NJ Turnpike to Exit 14A. Total drive time is typically 60–100 minutes off-peak, longer on Sunday cruise-day embarkations when both NYC and Bayonne traffic peaks.
