Pink Sand Anchorage – Kings Wharf from New York

About this cruise

Book 5 days off from July 11, 2026 and this cruise from New York will do the rest, taking you to Kings Wharf and back. Ports up front, sea days at the end. By the time you're back in New York, you'll feel properly rested rather than rushed. Close enough for a short cruise, warm enough to feel like you've properly escaped. Don't rush through Kings Wharf, which is known as Pink sand and pastel perfection. Independence Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 12 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. And July means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. All told, 1 ports across 5 nights covers a lot.
