New York by Night: Premium Illuminated City Cruise & Skyline Tour

Glide along the Hudson and East Rivers as Manhattan's legendary skyline blazes into brilliant light after dark. A luxury evening on the water with Manhattan at its most cinematic — the ultimate New York bucket-list image, lived.

What to expect

Board your evening cruise as the sun sets behind the Hudson, and watch the city transform tower by tower into a constellation of light. The Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the full arc of the Midtown skyline are framed in darkness and reflection. Back ashore, the open-top night bus rolls through Times Square, Fifth Avenue, and the illuminated sweep of Central Park South. Expert commentary ties together a century of New York after dark.
