New York Sightseeing Cruises

• See the spectacular New York City skyline from the water on a number of NYC sightseeing cruises

• Escape the bustling streets of the Big Apple and sail on the Hudson River for unmatched views of the city

• Take your pick of flexible cruise options at any time of day so you can squeeze more out of your stay in New York City

• Gaze out at some of New York City's top sights from the water – the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and Governor's Island

• Take the stress out of dinner reservations in NYC and opt to wine and dine on the water!

New York City is one of America's top tourist destinations – there's so many things to do (and such little time!). Secure your New York sightseeing cruise tickets well in advance to make your stay in the Big Apple stress-free.

Choose the right New York sightseeing cruise tickets for you:

• See Lady Liberty up close with tickets for a half-day cruise to Ellis Island. Explore America's immigration history, and take memorable snapshots both from the cruise ship and at the feet of the symbolic statue

• Only have a New York minute? Opt for an abbreviated 45-minute express cruise from Lower Manhattan to the Statue of Liberty (and back!)

• Get your heart racing with a high-octane thrill ride on a speedboat tour around Hudson Bay. Cruise by the Statue of Liberty at lightning speed!

• Take a bite out of the Big Apple on a number of dining experiences at any time of day. Enjoy a delicious brunch cruise, a delectable lunch cruise, or an indulgent dinner cruise – whatever floats your boat!

• Planning to see more sights? Combine your New York sightseeing cruise ticket with a NYC combi pass that gets you access to the Empire State Building, admission to the Museum of Modern Art (MoMa) and a handy smartphone audio guide

• NYC weather can be blistering hot in summer and freezing cold in winter – make sure you dress appropriately for current weather conditions

• Some cruises only sail by Lady Liberty. If you want to spend time on Ellis Island, check to ensure this is an included stop on your cruise before booking

• Dinner cruises usually adhere to a dress code – smart casual (cocktail dresses, collared shirts, and dress pants) is required

• Cruises often begin boarding 30 minutes before scheduled departure – be at the meeting point early and bring an ID

• Some vessels may not be wheelchair accessible. Contact the cruise line about accessibility before booking

• If your cruise itinerary includes multiple stops, make sure you are on time for your next departure – the ship won't wait!
