However, thousands of people take whale watching cruises from New York every year, and in fact whale watching has become increasingly popular in New York thanks to a rising whale population off the coast.

Below we guide you through the process of finding and booking a Costco cruise from New York that is right for you. Read more […] -

For this reason, it is also somewhat questionable to refer to New York as a “port city,” as if the port is the reason New York is notable.
