Brooklyn Cruise Terminal (Red Hook) Car Service for Princess & Cunard Sailings

Brooklyn Cruise Terminal at Red Hook is the New York departure point for Princess Cruises, Cunard transatlantic crossings on the Queen Mary 2, and select Holland America itineraries. Door-to-door car service from Westchester County and Fairfield County.

Brooklyn Cruise Terminal at Red Hook is the quieter sister to Manhattan Cruise Terminal. It primarily serves Princess Cruises Bermuda and Caribbean sailings, Cunard Queen Mary 2 transatlantic crossings to Southampton, and select Holland America Line Canada/New England itineraries. Embarkation is typically faster than MCT thanks to lower passenger volume.

For Westchester travelers, Brooklyn Cruise Terminal is 40–48 miles via Henry Hudson + West Side Highway + Brooklyn Battery Tunnel (Hugh L. Carey Tunnel) or via the FDR + Brooklyn Bridge. The Battery Tunnel route is usually faster but has a $9.50 toll (included in our flat-rate quote). Total drive time runs 60–100 minutes.

The terminal building is on Atlantic Basin in Red Hook, Brooklyn. There’s a single drop-off curb where porters meet you, and the building has standard cruise embarkation flow (check-in, photo, security, walk to ship). Cunard Queen Mary 2 crossings to Southampton are the highest-profile departures — for transatlantic sailings we recommend a large SUV given the volume of luggage typical for week-long crossings.
