Central Park paths, Midtown gardens, harbour views.
New York is three cruise ports wearing one name, and picking the wrong one costs an hour. The Manhattan terminal is on the west side in the Fifties, Brooklyn is at Red Hook, and Cape Liberty is across the water in Bayonne, New Jersey. They are an hour apart in traffic.

Central Park paths
Choose a limited public Central Park section for landscape and city-park views.
Bryant Park

Boston docks in the Seaport, a short ride from the centre, and the day organises itself around the Freedom Trail: a red line in the pavement connecting most of what people come to see. The North End at the end of it is the better lunch.
Ways to spend your day
Faneuil Hall
Explore the available historic hall and visitor information, with city connections arranged.
Boston Public Garden
Choose a comfortable garden section and enjoy what the season offers.
Charlestown Navy Yard
Make the historic grounds and available visitor-centre interpretation your focus.
Old Port streets, art galleries, a historic house.
Portland docks at Ocean Gateway within walking distance of the Old Port, whose brick warehouses now hold most of the best food in Maine. The lighthouses south at Cape Elizabeth are a short drive and are the picture people want.
Ways to spend your day
Old Port streets and shops
Choose a comfortable public-street section, browse what is open and take an optional break.
Portland Museum of Art
Make the available galleries your focus, with a break only if the return budget permits.
Victoria Mansion
Visit the available interiors under the operator’s confirmed entry and tour arrangements.
A working harbour, maritime stories, a hilltop fort.
Halifax docks on the downtown waterfront, with the boardwalk, the Maritime Museum and the Citadel all within a walk uphill. The Titanic connection is real and understated here: the recovery ships sailed from this harbour and many of the dead are buried in the city.
Ways to spend your day
Halifax waterfront
Choose a comfortable Harbourwalk section and keep the ship’s entrance in view.
Maritime Museum of the Atlantic
Choose the available indoor maritime galleries as your main visit.
Halifax Citadel
