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.
