Weekday vs weekend
Weekends on the boat tend to get quite lively for the brunch cruise. Most people love stepping out to get some sun on a Saturday or Sunday. However, if you prefer a quieter experience, consider going on a weekday. Weekday cruises often have fewer crowds, making them perfect for an intimate experience.
Peak season vs Low season
The peak season, from late spring to early fall (May to September) has weather and bright, sunny views of the skyline. During the low season, especially in winter, you can enjoy cozy indoor dining with fewer crowds. Each season has its own charm, so choose a time that suits your preferences.
- Seated dining: Enjoy comfortable seating at spacious tables, ensuring a relaxed dining experience.

- Gourmet cuisine: Indulge in freshly prepared meals, including a three-course menu with seasonal dishes and delicious desserts.
- Semi-formal attire: Most brunch cruises suggest wearing semi-formal clothing. This includes cocktail dresses for women and dress pants or collared shirts for men.
- Comfortable footwear: Choose shoes that are stylish yet comfortable, as you may be walking around the deck.
- Light jacket or shawl: Since temperatures can drop near the water, especially on cloudy days, a light jacket or shawl will help you stay warm.
- Avoid casual wear: Casual clothing like jeans, t-shirts, and sandals are not permitted onboard, so opt for something a bit more polished.
- ID requirements: If you plan to buy alcoholic beverages, bring a valid ID. The legal drinking age in New York is 21 years.
