"When Princess Cruises announced plans to make Yorktown a port of call in coming years, residents of the historic village balked at the idea. The plan was for the cruise line’s Island Princess to visit Yorktown three times next year as part of a pilot program, with a similar number of limited stopovers in 2025.
The ships wouldn’t come right up to the Yorktown docks, but anchor more than 1.5 miles away and ferry passengers ashore. But residents have remained unsure, citing worries about pollution, traffic and the overcrowding of Historic Yorktown Village when the cruises would be in port."
