  • Si_Dev_1 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles One of the highlights of our New York trip We arranged this as a belated birthday night out for my wife and we had such a good time. We had paid for an unlimited drinks package and a window table for just the four of us. On boarding the vessel we were shown to our table, at the bow of the boat next to the buffet (result!) and our waiter\steward Curtis introduced himself. We must point out he was excellent as he was attentive throughout the night, kept the drinks coming, and was really pleasant, friendly and good humoured. A credit to Spirit Cruises. The food...I LOVED THE FOOD! Creamy mashed potato, broccoli, cheesy pasta, chicken in honey and ? (can't remember) sauce, meatballs, braised beef, various salads. The only thing I didn't have was the fish as I don't like fish. I didn't have any desserts either as I went back for seconds. Delicious. After going down the Hudson and up the East River under the bridges we went back out into the bay to sit for a photo op at the Statue of Liberty. She looked spectacular at night. On returning to the dock we were asked where we were going to and as we were returning to Manhatten they said we could stay on board as the ship was going back there to berth. That saved us a bit on our taxi fare. We can't recommend Spirit Cruises highly enough. Read more Written September 23, 2019

Best dinner cruises in NYC

New York Dinner Cruise

1.  New York Dinner Cruise

Patrons flock to Hornblower’s climate-controlled sun deck for the decadent three-course meal and artisan cocktails. With entrée options like honey sesame chicken, oven-roasted flounder and braised beef short ribs, we can’t blame them. It’s hard to not want to get up and dance as you cruise past iconic New York City landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and the Brooklyn Bridge to complimentary live jazz.

Where is it? 111, 11th Avenue, New York.    Budget range? A pricy one, but well spent for an evening cruise through New York's harbour accompanied by some keys.   Time Out Tip: There aren't many seats on the top deck, so it's worth getting there a little earlier to skip the queue. 

Alive After Five

You’ll have two climate-controlled decks to choose from, plus a covered roof deck, multiple dance floors if and a DJ to get the party moving. This isn't just a cocktail cruise, there's pasta, Tex-Mex and other food options depending on the admission level you choose.

Where is it? The yacht departs from Pier 15 at 78 South st.  Budget range? Live it up on this classic yatcht without needing to break the bank.   Time Out Tip: Drinks aboard this vessel are a little dearer than usual (even for New York), so you might have to sweet talk the bartender a little.

Sip on cocktails, wine and beer from a fully loaded cash bar while live jazz musicians provide the soundtrack for a twinkly evening aboard this dinner cruise.

Where is it?   Head to   Pier 61 Chelsea Piers. Budget range?   A pretty decent price to see this dazzling city lit up as you float along it, especially when you cash in on the unlimited mimosa brunchtime special.

Gourmet Dinner Cruise

It's worth knowing that Skyline caters for brunch and lunch too.

Where is it? Board at World's Fair Marina. Budget range? A spot aboard this stellar cruise is a little pricier, but who could resist twirling around a rooftop dancefloor? Time Out Tip: Planning on popping the question? Skyline can customize your booking to make it a night to remember.

The 11 Absolute Best Dinner Cruises in NYC Right Now (2024)

Which nyc dinner cruise is best for you.

Image of author Steffen

We love the dinner cruises in New York and have tested several ourselves. There is hardly anything better than experiencing New York from the water, enjoying relaxing music and eating and drinking something delicious. By the way, it’s also a great idea to combine sightseeing in New York with a dinner on a boat!

You'll also love this:

  • The 6 Best Jazz Cruises in NYC
  • The 12 Best Cruises NYC Right Now
  • The 16 Best Cruises in NYC

You have several providers to choose from. But which dining cruise in New York is the best? That’s exactly what you’ll find out in our comparison!

🔥 Pro tip: These are my personal, authentic reviews about the dinner cruises. Because I have done all of them myself (several times) – so you can be sure that my recommendations will really help you and you will have a great time on board!

Table of Contents

#1 Best Dinner Cruises in NYC

Being encircled by not one but two rivers, New York is a great destination for dinner cruises. Regardless of whether you have a reason to celebrate or not, a dinner cruise in NYC will guarantee an unforgettable evening, because it combines breathtaking views of the city at dawn and delicious food with a relaxing atmosphere accompanied with music.

Besides the classic boat tours with dinner, I have more highlights for you that I was totally excited about: they are different sailing tours where a drink is included in the price and you can enjoy the view in wonderful ambience!

Steffen Kneist Loving New York

Which dinner cruise in New York is the best?

As you can see, we love the combination of boat tour, sightseeing and food. Therefore, we have tried many dinner cruises over the years. Some, unfortunately, were disappointing and way too expensive for what you got (so these are not represented in my best list).

We can personally recommend two dinner cruises: the Bateaux Dinner Cruise and the Dinner Cruise with the SPIRIT . We always had a great time on both!

#2 What Is The Best Boat Tour With Live Music in NYC?

If you like jazz as much as I do, these boat tours are really recommended – I’ve done all of them!

  • Bateaux Dinner Cruise Tickets (year round)
  • Live Jazz City Lights Sail (May to October only)
  • Evening Jazz Cruise on the Yacht Manhattan (year round)
  • Sunset, Wine, and Jazz Sail (May to October only)

#3 What Is The Most Romantic Dinner Cruise in New York?

What can be more romantic than enjoying the sunset on the water in a classy ambience? On the Bateaux Dinner Cruise, you’ll be seated at beautifully decorated tables in a all-glass dining vessel . On the Classic Harbor Line cruise, you are abord the America 2.0, listening to jazz from an onboard band, and enjoying the warm summer breeze – both cruises are awesome!

#4 What Special Cruises Are Available in NYC?

There are special cruises in New York for events like Valentine’s Day , 4th of July , Christmas Cruises and New Year’s Eve .

#5 What Are Alternatives to Traditional Dinner Cruises in NYC?

These boat tours are really something special and worth their money.

However, if you also want to visit attractions in New York City, you should take a look at the New York Discount Passes . Because some sailing and boating tours of them are included in the price.

  • For example, the Alive After-Five Cruise is included with the  New York Sightseeing DAY Pass  and the Sightseeing FLEX Pass .
  • The sailing tour with the Clipper City is included with the Explorer Pass , New York Pass , New York Sightseeing DAY Pass and Sightseeing FLEX Pass .

Details of each New York Dinner Cruise

bateaux dinner cruise

01 Bateaux: Dinner Cruise

Forget trying to snag a hard-to-get reservation at New York’s hottest restaurants du jour. Instead, indulge in a delicious 3-course dinner during the cruise on an all-glass boat around New York City that offers you an up-close look at the Statue of Liberty and other famed sites. As a live pianist plays relaxing music for you, take in the immense view of one of the world’s great cities, and enjoy a delicious pre-set dinner by the on-board executive chef. Upgrade to enjoy a romantic or first class VIP experience including a private table and French sparkling wine.

You’ll see the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty, One World Trade Center and the Empire State Building from a different perspective. Just great!

From_New_Jersey_New_York_City_Buffet_Lunch

03 Spirit: Buffet Dinner Cruise from New Jersey

This dinner cruise starts in New Jersey and takes you along the Hudson River and East River. You will see the skyline of New York with all its important buildings. You will also see the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge from very close and have a delicious meal.

It’s really nice when you go to the outside deck and hear the typical New York sounds. It doesn’t get any better than that!

Private Luxury Sailing Tour New York City

04 Private Luxury Sailing Tour New York City

Imagine sailing through the heart of the Big Apple, being cradled by the gentle breezes of the Hudson River, with the stunning backdrop of the NYC skyline unfolding before your eyes. Sounds amazing, right? Well, buckle up because you’re in for a treat!

This private sailing excursion from Chelsea Piers offers exactly that – a golden ticket to a luxurious experience that’ll blow your mind. And, my dear friend, it’s not just any sightseeing tour; it’s a remarkable voyage that takes you along Manhattan’s West Side, bathing you in spectacular panoramic views of Ellis Island, the imposing Statue of Liberty, and the awe-inspiring skyline of Lower Manhattan, including the iconic One World Trade.

But it doesn’t stop there. The sailboat itself is a luxury to behold! You can lounge on the deck, soak up the sun and the scenery, or retreat to the cabin for some comfy relaxation. With seating for up to six people, it’s the perfect intimate gathering for you and your friends. You’ll have a dedicated captain, ensuring a personal and exceptional experience throughout.

In short, this isn’t just a cruise; it’s an unforgettable journey brimming with luxury, comfort, and captivating views. If you’re in NYC, this is a must-try adventure! And remember to pack your camera, because you’ll want to capture every moment!

New_York_Sailboat_Cruise_with_Wine_and_Cheese

06 Manhattan By Sail - Sunset, Wine, and Jazz Sail

Picture this: You’re sailing under the twinkling stars, the awe-inspiring New York skyline and the majestic Statue of Liberty framing your view, while the soulful tunes of some of America’s best Jazz musicians serenade your senses. Sounds like a dream, right? Well, this could be your reality!

Get ready to swing the night away on this tall ship, the Clipper City. This experience is not just a cruise; it’s a journey into the romantic heart of New York harbor, with the best jazz tunes as your soundtrack.

As you step aboard this iconic tall ship – a replica of the lumber-hauling schooners that powered America’s industry over a century ago – you’re immediately whisked away from the city’s hustle and bustle. Jazz legends like guitarist Joe Cohn and saxophonist Avram Fefer will soothe your soul with their cool, smooth sounds. And guess what? This star-studded line-up is personally curated by James Polsky, the founder of Jazz Standard!

As the crew expertly sets the massive sails, you’ll embark on an unforgettable cruise along the Hudson and East Rivers. The Clipper City’s decks are wonderfully spacious, decked out with plenty of comfortable seating and a full bar. And let’s not forget the raised quarter deck back aft – this prime spot offers unparalleled views of the city’s harbor and iconic skyline.

Classic_Harbor_Line_Jazz_Cruise_230421131541001

07 Classic Harbor Line: Evening Jazz Cruise on the Yacht Manhattan

From one of our absolute favorite boat tours in New York there is also a Jazz Cruise. You are on board a luxury yacht in the style of the 1920s, which has a wonderful charm and is not to be compared with the big sightseeing ships. The jazz cruise starts at the Chelsea Piers and takes you along the Hudson River to the Statue of Liberty and the harbor of New York. On the way you can enjoy a wonderful view of the New York skyline and smooth jazz at the same time.

My tip: On board you can order various small dishes to eat.

Live Jazz City Lights Sail

08 Live Jazz City Lights Sail

This 90-minute live jazz sail is one of the best NYC sails I’ve ever done. You’ll sail from Chelsea Piers to New York Harbor, always with the beautiful skyline and Statue of Liberty in view. What you can expect on the Live Jazz City Lights Sail and why you should definitely do it, I’ll tell you in my report!

NOTE: This is one of the best jazz cruises in NYC – even if it doesn’t include dinner!

Champagne City Lights Cruise NYC

09 Classic Harbor Line: Champagne City Lights Cruise

We had an amazing time onboard the luxurious 1920s inspired motor yacht. Combine sightseeing with a romantic evening and step onboard the 1920s inspired boat at Pier 62 (Chelsea Piers – W. 22nd and Hudson River). During the 90-minutes long tour, you’ll get to see iconic NYC sights along the water and most importantly breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline. Especially in the summer, you can admire the most beautiful sunset during this special cruise. There is seating inside the yacht and outside seating as well.

Alive_After_Five_Cocktail_Cruise

10 City Cruises - Alive After Five

Embark on a timeless vessel and experience the vibrant landscape of New York City from a fresh perspective during a delightful happy hour sail. Delight in the onboard music and unwind with your companions, all while taking in the breathtaking panoramas of the Manhattan skyline from this maritime journey.

This unique sunset sail showcases scenes of iconic landmarks including the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, the Brooklyn Bridge, among numerous others. It makes for an ideal setting for celebrating birthdays, group events of all sizes, or simply an impromptu day spent on a boat.

ATTENTION : Here are only snacks on board, but the atmosphere is simply amazing!

2_Hour_Day_Sail_to_Statue_of_Liberty_on_America_2.0

11 2-Hour Day Sail to Statue of Liberty on America 2.0

On board on this 105-foot schooner you sail from the Chelsea Piers to the Statue of Liberty and can always see the beautiful skyline of Manhattan and New Jersey. Included in the price is a drink and guaranteed a lot of fun.

NOTE: This is one of the best boat tours in NYC – even if it doesn’t include dinner!

La Barca All-Inclusive Mexican Dinner Cruise

12 La Barca All-Inclusive Mexican Dinner Cruise

La Barca is New York’s only Mexican restaurant on board a ship. On this dinner cruise, you’ll cruise the Hudson River to the southern tip of Manhattan while eating delicious tacos and churros. Grab a margarita and then head to the outdoor deck – from here you can enjoy the stunning evening skyline of New York.

Which dinner cruise in NYC is the cheapest?

One thing in advance: the dinner cruises are not cheap. However, considering that you get dinner, a 3 hour sightseeing cruise, and a very special experience, it justifies the price.

The cheapest dinner cruises start at around $160. An alternative to this are brunch cruises or lunch cruises . These take place on the same ships and the itineraries are a bit shorter – here, the cheapest tickets start at $80.

Where do the dinner cruises depart from in New York?

The departure point depends on the operators: the two main ones depart from Chelsea Piers on the Hudson River at Pier 61/62. However, there are also Queens and Jersey City as departure locations.

Are there dinner cruises for special events?

Yes, especially the 4th of July, Thanksgiving dinner cruises, Christmas cruises and New Year’s Eve dinner cruises are very popular. If you are in New York at this time and plan to have dinner on a boat, you should book quickly. The tickets are very popular and the tours sell out quickly.

To help you quickly find the right dinner cruise for you, here are the best 4th of July Cruises , Thanksgiving Cruises , Christmas Cruises  and New Years Eve Cruises for you.

Is there a dress code?

Yes, there is a dress code: smart casual.

Dua Lipa sizzles in a skin-baring Marc Jacobs gown on the 2024 Met Gala red carpet

  • View Author Archive

  • Follow on Twitter

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

We were radically optimistic that Dua Lipa would show up on those Met steps dressed to impress — and she did not disappoint.

The “Houdini” hitmaker, 28, looked truly magical for the “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” theme as she arrived at the 2024 Met Gala , walking the red carpet in a stunning creation from Marc Jacobs.

Dua Lipa

The skin-baring gown included lots of black lace and a cream-colored corset, which Lipa — who donned dark crimson hair — showed off with a plethora of poses as she made her way into the star-studded dinner party.

Dua Lipa

Some fans speculated that she’d make her red carpet debut with boyfriend Callum Turner at fashion’s biggest night.

However, the pop star — who just released her new album, “Radical Optimism,” on Friday — walked the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s famous steps with designer Jacobs, 61, and internet personality Char Defrancesco.

Lipa has definitely been on a roll when it comes to her red carpet fashion.

Dua Lipa

At the 2024 Grammys, she sparkled in a low-cut silver Courrèges dress styled with a jaw-dropping Tiffany & Co. choker.

Earlier in the year, she showed up at the 2024 Golden Globes in a spectacular Schiaparelli mermaid gown adorned with gilded bones; while dreamy, it was difficult to sit in during the ceremony , as Lipa later revealed.

Dua Lipa

The “Argylle” actress served as a Met Gala co-chair in 2023, paying tribute to Karl Largerfeld in a regal white ballgown he had designed for Chanel’s fall/winter 1992 collection. Never one to pass up a major jewelry moment, she accessorized with a Tiffany & Co. necklace suspended with a dazzling diamond of more than 200 carats.

And in 2019, the songstress embraced the ball’s “Camp: Notes on Fashion” theme in a psychedelic, multicolored Atelier Versace gown and over-the-top bouffant.

Perhaps she picked the Barbie-worthy look to hint at her involvement in Greta Gerwig’s blockbuster Mattel movie; in addition to contributing to the soundtrack (with her hit “Dance the Night”), Lipa also made her acting debut as Mermaid Barbie in the 2023 film.
