The Cruise

Come aboard this magnificent 500-passenger vessel, and create your own "city experience." You can begin topside and stroll the outdoor patio deck under the stars, taking in all the sights of the world's greatest skyline. Then step below, where two cosmopolitan dining decks offer a wonderful shipboard buffet done Manhattan-style with a myriad of wonderful salads, entrees, side dishes and desserts.

While you relax over coffee, live Broadway-quality perfomers provide an entertaining finish to your meal. After the show, head down to the first deck disco lounge where flowing libations and the pulsing beat of popular dance music create a chic and sophisticated setting that will let you rock until you dock, and then some.

This quintessential New York experience is available for dinner year-round. One price covers everything except drinks and tip. So, remember: if you're in the city looking for a unique good time with a hip New York attitude, head for the harbor and the New York Spirit Dinner Cruise.

Our ship cruises the Hudson and East Rivers, past the skyscrapers of Manhattan including the Empire State Building. You'll also see the Intrepid Sea-Air Space museum, the Brooklyn Bridge, the site of the World Trade Center, Battery Park City, South Street Seaport, and the Verrazano Narrows Bridge - the second-longest single-span suspension bridge in the world - Governor's Island, Ellis Island, and Colgate Clock. Of course, the highlight of our cruise is the Statue of Liberty, one of the most celebrated landmarks in the world.
