Cruising from Philadelphia Pennsylvania is back and I want to show you what to expect when cruising out of the newest cruise port in Pennsylvania. They are still working on this cruise port, but it is going to be great alternative cruise port on the east coast to cruise from. And did I mention there is a new Cruise ship coming to Philadelphia very soon.

This is what it looks like cruising out of Philadelphia on the Norwegian Jewel.
I love this area back here because it's just beautiful.
What a way to see the sunset, the sunrise.
Welcome to Philadelphia's inaugural cruise on the Norwegian Jewel.
Right there it is.
That's the new port.
Not near done yet, but we're on this ship.
All right, welcome back to the channel.
Today is something special.
I am on the inaugural voyage of the Norwegian Jewel out of Philadelphia.
I want to show you what this new port's like.
Again, first ship in 15 years sailing out of this port.
What's the port like?
Is it a disaster or not?
Let's go.
All right, in case you're wondering, this cruise port is right next to the airport.
That's the airport.
Here's some of the buses coming in to drop more people off.
There's an overhead shot of what it looks like right now.
I also want to show you what it is like sailing out of Philadelphia
and what you will do on the first day of your cruise.
You can see downtown Philadelphia is there.
Here's the airport tower.
That's how close we are.
Right there is the airport.
Cruising out of Philadelphia might be the best thing to come on the east coast for a long time.
And be sure to watch our full video on embarkation and debarkation link below.
I got a whole video on it, especially if you want to see the process
of getting on and off this ship in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
This just looks like this is all going to be concrete at some point.
You can see it's not quite ready.
The Norwegian Jewel is the first ship to sail out of Philadelphia in more than 15 years.
But guess what?
A new ship is coming to this port in late 2026, early 2027.
I'm glad it's not raining.
I can tell you that I would not want to be cruising out of this port in bad weather.
That's what you want to see right here.
It's the Norwegian Pearl.
I've been on that ship.
It's a little bit different than the Jewel.
And you know I'll be back in Philadelphia shooting a video on that Norwegian Pearl
when it gets here.
And we're on.
And Jess, welcome aboard.
Once you get on the ship, make sure you're getting something to eat.
You just waited in line to get on your ship.
All my salad lovers, they got a great salad bar here.
And now it's time to get to the buffet.
The buffet will be open.
Most of the bars will be open.
Oh my God, look at all these desserts.
This looks amazing.
Also, while you're waiting for the sail away, explore the ship.
It will be less crowded.
There is so much to see and explore early because you will be way ahead of everybody else later in the week.
Because you'll know what to expect.
Here we are on 5542.
And if you have time after your mustard drill, make sure you're doing the mustard drill.
The ship cannot leave port until you do so.
But if you have time, head to your room, unpack, and get ready for the sail away.
It will be spectacular.
I hope they measured right.
Otherwise, our videos are worth some money.
All right, we're getting close now.
Are we gonna clear?
I don't know.
It don't look like it.
Now, after you set sail, get up to the top deck and watch the sail away.
You will see all kinds of ships sailing by.
And you cannot miss the sail away because the highlight here
has got to be going under that bridge when you leave the dock.
It's about a 15-20 minute ride until you hit that bridge.
But it is a must-see on any cruise ship.
I don't know.
Are we gonna clear this thing?
God, it don't even look like it, does it?
Oh my god.
There we go.
We're under.
That's it.
We did it.
Well, it was close, wasn't it?

And that's a wrap.
That is the Philadelphia New Cruise Port.
Not done yet.
We're heading out to sea.
Make sure you're liking and subscribing.
And until next time, see you Philadelphia in seven days.
We'll see what it looks like getting back off this ship,
if it's any smoother than getting on.
A lot smoother coming back than getting there.
All right, that's a wrap.
We just got back to the Clarion Hotel.
It took us about 30 minutes.
We were one of the first ones off.
Make sure you're doing self-assist.
Carry your luggage off.
You put it in the bus and get off as soon as you can.
Same way when coming in.
Get there early.
That's my tip of the day.
