New York Cruises & Sailing

They've seen the skyline. They've walked the streets. They've probably taken a million photos of the city. Now let them experience New York from the water. Picture them cruising past iconic landmarks, sailing into the sunset, and sipping cocktails with the skyline as their backdrop. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, anniversary, graduation, holiday, or simply looking for a fun just-because gift, Virgin Gifts makes it easy to send and book top-rated New York scenic cruises.

Find their perfect New York cruise

For the sightseer: A harbor cruise past the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island packs some of New York’s biggest sights into one unforgettable day.
For the foodie: Swap the usual meal reservation for a lunch, brunch, or dinner dining cruise around Manhattan.
For the romantics: Set sail at sunset and watch the city light up as golden hour gives way to evening.
For the thrill seekers: Treat them to a ride on The BEAST or another speedboat ride.

Why a New York cruise makes such a good gift

Our motto? A great gift should give them something to look forward to. A New York cruise does exactly that. Think about it: there’s the moment they open their e-voucher, the excitement of booking their cruise, and then the day itself as they take in the iconic skyline. In other words, a New York scenic cruise isn't just a gift. It’s a plan, an adventure, and a memory all rolled into one.

How to gift a New York cruise

Choose their cruise, personalize the e-voucher with a message, and send it instantly or schedule it for a special occasion. From there, they pick the sailing date that works with their schedule. And with flexible booking and easy exchanges included, you don't have to worry about a thing. All that's left is for them to show up at the dock.
