Memorial Day Cruise

Memorial Day, a federal holiday observed on the last Monday in May, is the nation's most important yearly day for mourning and honoring its service members and women. People visit memorials to place flags or wreaths on the graves of deceased service members.

It also marks the metaphorical beginning of summer. Cruise offers become available. So, begin the season by taking a cruise for Memorial Day weekend that will define your summer.

Why Choose a Memorial Day Cruise in NYC

Sail around Manhattan in a Memorial Day cruise from NYC with Chief's chocolate mousse. That seems good, right? We organized special Memorial Day cruise celebrations with cocktails and a menu of seafood, salads, and VIP specials, which you may enjoy while taking in the best skyline views of New York harbor.

Here is for who it is made for:

• Families: A cruise provides a controlled, safe environment where guests of all ages can enjoy the holiday together without navigating crowded streets or multiple venues. Multiple decks, seating, dining, and routing allow families to spend time together.

• Social & private groups: The cruise functions as a complete event space. The ability to move between decks, customize music and catering, and enjoy time together makes cruising more engaging than land-based venues during a high-traffic holiday.

• Corporate & professional events: A cruise offers a polished yet flexible venue suited for client entertainment, employee appreciation, and seasonal corporate events. Professional crew service, climate-controlled interiors, structured layouts, and customizable programming allow organizations to host events that feel intentional.

We provide you with the opportunity to honor your freedom and those who serve to protect it while taking in a perspective of the city unlike any other. The cruise for Memorial Day weekend provides an excellent opportunity to ponder on life and its value. It's time to enjoy the present moment.

Highlights of the Memorial Day Celebration

The configuration of the ships (refer to our Louisa of the Seas, Eternity, and Grande Mariner) allows support activities like photography, sightseeing, and casual socializing to take place, giving the guests more controlled opportunities to participate in the holiday with the outstretch of it.

Your trip on Memorial Day can start from the Louisa of the Seas, which covers 2,500 sq. ft., the luxurious Eternity, which has 8,000 sq. ft., and the magnificent Grande Mariner, which is 9,000 sq. ft. (up to 575 guests).

Live Music, Food, and Drinks Onboard

In the case of a Memorial Day cruise, entertainment comes from the original design of the ships rather than from temporary arrangements. Each ship in the fleet comes equipped with state-of-the-art sound systems, fireworks, and decks which let the live music play perfectly.

Sound, being an important factor in multi-deck configurations, is distributed well within the ship, which means that music is such that it adds to the ambience without being the main focus of conversation or the movement between the different areas. Entertainment zones are planned in such a way that they are very much part of the regular flow of the guests, and thus there is no difference in the visibility and sound quality among the indoor lounges.

The ship accommodates a variety of entertainment options such as DJs, live bands, and curated performances. All of which can be used for day celebrations, sunset, or night events.

Dining and Access to the Open Bar

The premium open bar will be running all the time during the Memorial Day cruise and has been planned to work efficiently without any disruption to the event. Guests on the cruise for Memorial Day weekend will have uninterrupted access to a selected range of top-notch cocktails, beers, and soft drinks, all served by expert bartenders. See the beverage list:

The structure of beverage service is aimed at providing a continuous and well-paced onboard experience instead of just a single service moment. The clearness of the menu and the strategic efficient bar placement in different decks assure predictable availability, balanced demand, and smooth guest circulation through the busy periods of celebrations. 

The flow of Memorial Day brunch cruise in NYC incorporates the food and beverage service rather than considering it a distinct occurrence. A premium open bar with cocktails, wines, beers, and non-alcoholic options like coffee and tea served by professional bartenders relaxing all night long satisfies the New York harbor guests. The culinary items are either made onboard or are delivered to the guests at the same pace as the event, thus, the guests can smoothly continue their dining, mingling, or moving around activities without interruption.
