New York Dinner Cruise

You've never seen the Manhattan skyline shine so bright. On this New York tour, you'll indulge in an exquisite buffet, while the skyline serves as the backdrop for your magical evening. You can take a stroll on the ship's observation deck or dance your heart out to the sounds of Top 40 hits. Reserve your New York skyline cruise spot today to make it a night to remember.

Upon setting foot aboard this luxury ship, you'll receive a hearty welcome and be escorted to your table by the professional staff. The majority of the tables on this tour feature cruise-style seating, meaning you'll be dining alongside other guests; this gives you a chance to mingle and make some new acquaintances. Once you're seated, your waiter will invite you to the Grande Dinner Buffet, which lives up to its name. Sample crisp salads and flavorful entrees while enjoying stunning views of Manhattan. A mouthwatering dessert assortment is served tableside late in the cruise.

After you're done with your meal, head up to the observation deck and get a closer look at the skyline. Among the sights you'll see on this New York dinner cruise are Battery Park and the Brooklyn Bridge. Battery Park, located on Manhattan's southern tip, is a 25-acre park that probably looks familiar: it's been used as a filming location for movies and TV shows such as Men in Black 3 and Glee. The Brooklyn Bridge is one of the oldest suspension bridges in the United States and it was also one of the longest until 1903. You'll also see the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building and many more famous sights in New York on your dinner cruise. In addition to sightseeing, you can hit the dance floor and groove to the latest hits until the ship docks. Book your New York cruise now; spots are filling up fast.
