The Brooklyn Cruise Terminal is one of three terminals for ocean-going cruise ships in the metropolitan New York City area. The terminal is located at Red Hook Pier 12, which forms the south side of the Atlantic Basin[1] at Pioneer and Imlay Streets in the Red Hook section of Brooklyn, New York. The terminal opened on April 15, 2006, with the arrival of the RMS Queen Mary 2.[2] The terminal is 180,000 square feet (17,000 m2) and sits on Buttermilk Channel, a tidal strait separating Brooklyn from Governors Island.
The terminal was converted from a 1954 freight terminal. Ships from Carnival Cruise Lines (which owns the Cunard and Princess Cruises) call the terminal their home port.
