The Brooklyn Cruise Terminal is one of three terminals for ocean-going cruise ships in the metropolitan New York City area. Located at Red Hook Pier 12 at Pioneer Street in the Red Hook section of Brooklyn, New York, the terminal opened on May 2, 2006, with the arrival of the RMS Queen Mary 2. The terminal is 180,000 square feet 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.
