Things to know before booking your cruise tickets

Limited time or first-time visitors: If you're on a time crunch or visiting New York for the first time, a sightseeing cruise is your best option. These cruises take you close to all the iconic landmarks in one go, with 60 and 90-minute cruise options.

Special occasions or relaxation: Celebrating a special occasion or just looking to unwind after a long week? Consider the dining cruises or the Harbor Lights evening cruise.

Looking for something upscale?: The luxury lunch/brunch/dinner cruise glides through the harbor aboard a sleek, state-of-the-art ship featuring floor-to-ceiling glass windows, creating an elegant ambiance. Indulge in superior amenities and à la carte dining, a step above the buffet and fixed menu offered on regular dining cruises.

Family-friendly considerations: Kids under 6 are not allowed on the Happy Hour Party Cruise and the Luxury Brunch, Lunch, or Dinner Harbor Cruise. If you're traveling with family, consider sightseeing cruises or the regular dining cruise with a buffet.

-Pier 15 (South New York): Ideal if you plan to visit nearby attractions like One World Trade Center, Brooklyn Bridge, and the Jewish Heritage Museum.
-Pier 83, Pier 78, and Pier 61 (Central New York): These locations are closer to more central attractions like Rockefeller Center, Edge, Vessel, the Intrepid Museum, and Central Park.

Arrive early: Get to the pier at least 45 minutes before the scheduled departure time for a hassle-free boarding experience.

Before your cruise: Cross-check your boarding point when you reach the pier.

For your entry: Keep your voucher accessible on your phone during check-in.
