The Queen Mary 2 this week will make New York City’s new $52 million Brooklyn Cruise Terminal her berth-of-choice.
Her arrival will mark the official opening of the new full-service facility at Pier 12 in Red Hook.
The Red Hook facility is also being used by Carnival Corporation’s Cunard Line and Princess Cruises.
In its first year of operation, the 182,000 square foot terminal is expected to welcome 40 ships.
The new terminal is the first in the New York area to be designed specifically for the larger cruise ships.
