Q&A

Q: Are there any age restrictions for the Manhattan Skyline and Statue Night Cruise?

A: There aren’t any specific age restrictions, but since it's a happy hour cruise, it’s generally more suited for adults. Kids are welcome, but just keep in mind that the atmosphere might be more adult-oriented with music and drinks. If you're bringing kids, make sure they’re supervised since the boat has some open areas.

Q: What’s the best way to dress for the cruise?

A: I’d recommend dressing in layers! It can get chilly on the water, especially at night. A light jacket or sweater is a good idea, but you don't need anything too formal. Most people were in casual clothes, but some did wear nicer outfits. Just comfy shoes since you'll be dancing!

Q: How's the parking situation near the cruise departure point?

A: Parking can be a bit tricky since it’s in the busy part of NYC. I suggest using public transport if you can. If you must drive, there are parking garages nearby, but they can be pricey—expect to pay around $30-50 for a few hours. Definitely check for parking apps to find deals!

Just got back from the Manhattan Skyline & Statue Night Cruise!

OMG, it was incredible! The views of the Statue of Liberty at night are just breathtaking. The boat had plenty of space, and we loved dancing on the outdoor deck. They play great music! We got some drinks from the cash bar, and the nachos were surprisingly good. It was such a fun way to see the skyline. Highly recommend it for a date night or a chill get-together with friends!

Considering gifting the Skyline Cruise to my parents!

I’m thinking about getting the Manhattan Skyline cruise for my parents’ anniversary. They love NYC, but I’m worried about the weather. If it rains, do they reschedule or cancel? I don’t want them to miss the views!
