What To Expect
The cruise departs from Pier 78 at West 39th Street and runs along the Hudson River, giving passengers a continuous view of the Manhattan waterfront from water level. The route passes Hudson Yards, where the full scale of the glass tower complex is easier to read from across the river than from the streets surrounding it. The Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum sits docked along the same stretch of the Hudson, so the ship passes it directly rather than at a distance. Further south, One World Trade Center rises at the lower end of the skyline, with the full height of the building and its spire visible as the cruise continues along the waterfront. For most of these landmarks, the river is one of the few positions from which the surrounding city doesn't interrupt the view.
The daytime route brings the cruise close enough to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island for a direct view of both, rather than the distant skyline perspective that covers most of the route. That proximity puts passengers in one of the better positions available for photographing the statue without significant distance working against the shot. The New York By Night cruise runs the same general course after dark, where the main difference is how the city presents itself with the lights on: the skyline takes on a different character at night, and the statue is lit from below rather than by daylight. The boat includes a rotating feature that gradually turns the deck, so passengers on all sides get a clear line of sight as the cruise passes the main landmarks rather than one side of the boat holding the view throughout.
