A freestyle sightseeing cruise that's transforming NYC summer nights!

Hit the Hudson River for a completely different way to enjoy NYC Summer Nights! With our DJ providing the soundtrack and the New York skyline providing the perfect twinkling backdrop, New Yorkers and Tourists both agree that NYC is best enjoyed on our cruise with a groove.

Forgo the traditional tour-guided “tourist” experience and spend your NYC summer nights onboard our DJ-led two-hour evening cruise to catch the sunset as you sail by over 150+ incredible landmarks. We’ll sail down from Midtown Manhattan towards iconic landmarks like the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building and the colossal Hudson Yards, down to the spectacular tip of the Financial District and under breathtaking Brooklyn & Manhattan bridges. No Circle Line cruise is complete without the ultimate finale getting closer than any other cruise to the main-character herself, the Statue of Liberty.

While you sip on signature cocktails and soak up the sounds of today’s hottest hits, enjoy the night however you’d like! Take a seat and soak in the magic of the NYC skyline or let loose on the top deck dance floor with your besties, family, coworkers or more! With a laid-back vibe and great cocktails available for purchase, this all-ages cruise is the perfect outing for birthdays or celebrations for groups of any size.
