A cruise ship was stranded off New York City after strong winds prevented it from docking Monday night.

The Norwegian Gem was left floating for hours with an unknown number of passengers, a rep for the line said.

Meanwhile, vacationers scheduled for an upcoming 10-day Caribbean cruise were left waiting for the ship’s arrival.

“Due to strong gale-force winds on the Hudson River, Norwegian Gem’s scheduled arrival into New York City has been delayed until tomorrow morning, February 26,” a spokesman for Norwegian said.
