Overview

Sunset, Golden Hour, Twilight, Happy Hour, whatever your favorite description, nothing beats seeing New York City from the water as the sun is setting on one of the best skylines in the world. This cruise is optimized to sail during the sunset period but offers so much more. With a mix of live commentary from the tour guide and relaxing music, grab a drink from the bar for a great alternative to a traditional evening out. Featured sites include One World Trade Center, a stop in front of the Statue of Liberty for a perfect picture, Ellis Island, Little Island Park, the United Nations, the Empire State Building and more.

Frequently Asked Questions (9)

Q: Will I get seasick on 2-Hour NYC Golden Hour Sunset Cruise?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
