The PONY Branch provides its members and guests with monthly illustrated programs via Zoom and activities such as ship visits, boat trips around New York harbor, and ocean cruises at group rates.

Our website aims to be the premier resource regarding Port of New York passenger shipping, current port news and events that celebrate its history, what to see along the waterfront and how to explore our great harbor.

A special feature is the annual schedule of the port’s cruise ship arrivals and departures at the Manhattan Cruise Terminal (MCT), Brooklyn Cruise Terminal (BCT), and Cape Liberty Cruise Port (CLCP).

WSS-PONY BRANCH MEETINGS & EVENTS

On Saturday, June 21, 2025, PONY Branch members and guests are invited to a 90-minute guided tour of the South Street Seaport Museum’s latest exhibition, Maritime City, in the historic 1868 A.A.

Cruise & Maritime Voyages fell victim to the pandemic in June 2020.  Its eclectic fleet of classic cruise ships including the venerable MARCO POLO, formerly the Soviet ALEXANDER PUSHKIN, was arrested and later auctioned by the UK Admiralty Marshall.  MARCO POLO languished in lay-up at Avonmouth, the port of Bristol, until November that year.
