The New York Elegant Dining Cruise features a superb four-course dinner prepared fresh onboard by the executive chef -- served at your private table as you cruise the Hudson and harbor enjoying the sites of Manhattan by night.

Boasting stately, ornate surroundings, the New York Elegant Dining Cruise offers upper and lower dining areas enclosed by panoramic windows. Every table offers spectacular views of the world's most fascinating harbor and the breathtaking New York skyline.

The DJ provides the musical background for The New York Elegant Dining Cruise, creating a seductive energy in the dining rooms and you can hear the music throughout the entire boat as you witness an ever-changing panorama of New York city skyline. No other restaurant can match the New York Elegant Dining Cruise's unique combination of food, ambiance and service, which is perfect for those looking for a high quality dinner cruise experience. It's the perfect place for an intimate dinner or a fabulous party!

Slip down the Hudson, around the tip of Manhattan, up the East River, under the Brooklyn Bridge and far enough north to catch a glimpse of the United Nations. Turning around you will sail to the Statue of Liberty, then head back up the Hudson. Other landmarks visible during the New York Elegant Dining Cruise include the art deco spires of the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings.

Whether you choose to enjoy these sights through the panoramic windows from the intimacy of your private table, or outside on the spacious observation decks, the sights and sounds of New York are moments that will stay with you long after the New York Elegant Dining Cruise has returned to dock.
