New York Rivals Florida As Favorite Homeport for Cruise Lines
by Roy Witman © 2006
As one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world,
New York is a sought after vacation spot in its own right. In
recent years, however, cruise lines have discovered the benefits
- for their guests and themselves - of calling New York home.
Norwegian Cruise Line was one of the first cruise lines to
temporarily homeport a ship (the Norwegian Dawn) in New York
during winter. According to Andy Stuart, Norwegian Cruise Line's
Executive Vice President of Marketing, Sales and Passenger
Services, docking in New York started as a result of travel
agent requests. What was then considered a wild card location
soon became the permanent residence of the Dawn in 2003. What
has resulted is a small fleet of ships from varying cruise lines
that have chosen to move several of their vessels further up the
Eastern Seaboard.
The Queen Mary 2 followed suit when it named New York as
homeport on April 22, 2004. This distinctive vessel was received
amid a huge fanfare including a Mayoral welcome complete with a
U.S. Coastguard and Fire Department of New York escort. Bands,
dignitaries and hordes of people attended the festivities.
Holland America has announced New York to be the homeport of its
cruise ship, the Noordam, which will take up residence February
22, 2006. Norwegian moved the Spirit from Florida to her new
home in New York, making a total of two year-round vessels in
that port. Most recently, however, Princess Cruise Line joined
the lineup with the positioning of their newest fleet member,
Crown Princess, in New York starting June 14, 2006. But why
move? And why to New York?
Ports in Florida have become almost full while cruise lines are
continuing to build ships to add to their
fleets. This supply
and demand dilemma has all but forced cruise lines to look for
alternative avenues of serving guests while maintaining costs.
At the same time, cruise lines need to be able to continue
providing viable access for vacationers to the most popular
ports of call. Because of New York's central location and
popularity, it offers local attractions equal to or better than
those of Florida. With three airports - JFK, LaGuardia and
Newark Liberty International - New York also provides more
accessible travel accommodations for those flying in to meet
their ship.
Vacationers benefit with exciting pre- or post-cruise holidays
in a town that literally offers everything imaginable. From
five-star, celebrity-owned restaurants to entertainment that
sets a worldwide standard to a shopping experience unmatched in
any other city, New York has a heavy draw with cruisers. Plus
the presence of nearby hotels that fit every budget makes
finding and booking accommodations simple.
Cruise lines appreciate the fact that they can now offer
departures from a second desirable location. Plus, because of
New York's proximity, cruise lines are still able to offer
competitively priced packages to the most popular destinations
including the Caribbean and Mexico while, at the same time,
offering added flexibility for their guests.
