Enjoy some holiday music performed by our resident Jazz band and views of Manhattan's skyline on this 90-minute holiday jazz cruise aboard a classic 1920s-style boat. Great for couples, co-workers, jazz enthusiasts, locals & tourists (but not a narrated tour). See the Statue of Liberty on all departures along with all the major sites along the Hudson River and New York Harbor. Plus see Manhattan lit up at night on all evening departures. Guests are also welcome to venture to the outer deck for more unobstructed views of the surroundings. Cookies and one complimentary spiked hot cocoa (or regular), beer, wine or champagne or soda is included. Plan to arrive 15-30 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time to check-in at the ticket booth for boarding passes. Bring a photo ID for check-in.

From: $0.00

Q&A

Q: Can you tell me about the parking situation near the dock for the Jazz Cruise?

A: There's limited street parking in the area, but I'd recommend using a parking garage nearby. The closest one is the Icon Parking lot on West 42nd street, which is about a 7-minute walk to the dock. Just keep in mind that it can get pricey, so plan for that. If you’re taking the subway, the 42nd St. station is super close too!

Q: Is there an age limit for kids to join the Jazz Cruise?

A: Kids are definitely welcome on the cruise! There’s no strict age limit, but just know that some of the ambiance might be more suited for adults, especially with the jazz music. I took my 8 and 10-year-olds, and they loved seeing the city lights. Just check if they have any kid-friendly drink options!

Q: What should we wear for the Jazz Cruise? Is it casual or more dressy?

A: It’s pretty casual, but since it’s a holiday cruise, you might want to dress it up a little! A nice sweater and some decent shoes work great. Keep in mind it can get a bit chilly on the outer deck, so layering is key. Plus, you’ll want to feel comfortable while enjoying the music and views!

Just booked the Holiday Jazz Cruise for my husband’s birthday!

I’m super excited about this! We’re going on December 15th, and I can’t wait to see the skyline lit up while enjoying some live jazz. I heard that the hot cocoa is amazing, and the cookies are a nice touch too. It’ll be our first time on a cruise like this, so hoping it’s as magical as it sounds. Anyone else been? Any tips?

Considering the Jazz Cruise as a gift for my parents!

I think they’d really enjoy this experience, especially since they love jazz. Just wondering if it’s suitable for older folks? They’re in their 70s but pretty active. Also, how’s the seating arrangement? Is it first come first serve?
