Facility Overview
The Manhattan Cruise Terminal Parking, managed by Propark, is a premier vehicle storage facility located at 711 12th Ave, New York, NY 10019. Situated directly adjacent to the Hudson River, this facility serves as the primary parking solution for passengers embarking on cruise lines departing from the Manhattan Cruise Terminal. The facility typically offers secure, managed parking options designed to accommodate standard passenger vehicles, though travelers with oversized SUVs or vans should always verify height restrictions prior to arrival, as the terminal area often utilizes multi-level deck structures with specific vertical clearance limits.

Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a seamless experience, we highly recommend pre-booking your parking space online, especially during peak travel seasons or major holidays when cruise terminal volume surges. GPS navigation should be set to 711 12th Ave; however, watch for local event signage that may temporarily redirect traffic flow along the West Side Highway. We advise arriving at least 30-45 minutes earlier than your required check-in time to allow for potential traffic delays near the cruise piers.
