Description:
An evening filled to the brim with wonderful cuisine, live music and dancing under a canopy of stars.

You'll know you're in for a special evening the moment you step aboard our elegant decks and are escorted to your candlelit table.

Your waiter will invite you to our Grande Dinner Buffet, where you can sample a little bit of everything, or just select your favorite fare. Everything is freshly prepared in our shipboard galley and served in the true manner of an ocean-going cruise buffet.

Savor your culinary selections over perfectly-paced dinner music and a never-ending view of Manhattan's breathtaking skyline seen through our huge panoramic windows. Truly, a sight you won't soon forget!

While you relax over coffee and dessert, Broadway-quality performers will dazzle you with song and dance on the center stage.

After the show, take your drinks topside and relax on the largest outdoor patio deck in town while Manhattan's magnificent skyline spreads before you in all directions. It's a wonderful pause before the music entices you onto the dance floor.

The perfect end to the perfect night.

This was one of the most pleasurable experiences of my life. My wife and I enjoyed the dinner and the overall cruise. We kept going outside to view the sights. The weather was beautiful and the wait staff made us feel right at home as soon as we boarded the ship. I look forward to doing this again in the future.

Everyone encountered on the trip were extremely courteous, always smiling, always available to meet our every need. The loudness of the music was perfect - definitely not deafening or uncomfortable and the DJ and staff entertainers were extremely professional. The dining area was roomy and pleasant. The bathrooms were spacious and spotless - always important when you have no other choice. My favorite place in the NY area is wherever I can see the Statue of Liberty. That the ship stayed for awhile at that location only added a deep emotional appreciation for the entire evening. This experience was a gift from our children and I can honestly say it was the best gift they have ever come up with! Thank you for the very pleasant evening. Lee Ann Beck

The best evening we have had in NYC ever. The whole experience was a 10. From everyone to who took the booking to who issued our tickets to chefs and crew. Amazing. Will do it again and we live in the area so we have done a lot and this has out done them all.

4.5 / 5 stars

My fiance and I took the NYC dinner cruise and we could not have had a better experience. We want to do it again and bring out friends. The staff was so full of life and their attitude was so positive that it was contagious and you had no choice but to get up and have a good time!

From New York, NY

We requested a window seat and were lucky enough to get one. The view of the city, the statue and the bridges is breathtaking.
