Memorial Day in New York: Experience It with NYC Cruises
Types of cruises
- Sunset cruises — panoramic views of Manhattan, Brooklyn and New Jersey
- Party yachts — onboard DJ, live music, gourmet dining, open bar
- Family-friendly cruises — kid-oriented entertainment, games, spacious seating
Routes
Hudson River routes pass the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and Battery Park. East River sailings cover the Brooklyn Bridge, DUMBO and the Manhattan skyline. A full-circle route combines both, with the best fireworks access.
Booking tips
Reserve early — Memorial Day cruises sell out. Dress in comfortable layers and arrive 30–45 minutes before departure.
