Hotels near Cape Liberty cruise port

There's almost nowhere to stay near Cape Liberty itself: the only hotel in Bayonne is a basic motel. Most cruisers stay near Newark airport, 5 to 11 miles away, where several hotels run cruise shuttles or sell packages with a night's stay and parking for your whole cruise.

Jersey City's waterfront hotels are about 8 to 9 miles away, with views of Manhattan but no cruise shuttles: plan on a rideshare of about $25. Many shuttle details below come from travel guides, so confirm them when you book.
