Make your New Years Eve unforgettable on the Emerald Princess Yacht, a fan-favorite NYC cruise that combines a full open bar, dinner buffet, DJ entertainment, and amazing skyline views into one exciting waterfront celebration. If you want a hassle-free way to party on New Years without crowds or long lines, this cruise is the perfect choice.
Boarding begins at 9:00 PM at Pier 36, where the yacht welcomes you with festive lighting, lively music, and a premium open bar ready to go. Every guest receives a guaranteed reserved seat, making it easy to eat, drink, relax, and enjoy the night at your own pace.
The dinner buffet gives you plenty of options to choose from, with fresh offerings that pair perfectly with your favorite cocktails from the open bar. After dinner, the DJ turns up the energy as the yacht cruises along the East River. Dance, explore the decks, or grab photos with the best backdrop in the world: the New York City skyline.
Throughout the night, you will get incredible views of landmarks like the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty, and lower Manhattan. As midnight approaches, the Emerald Princess secures a prime position for viewing the New Years Eve fireworks. Raise your champagne glass during the included midnight toast as fireworks explode above the harbor.
This four-hour cruise runs from 9:30 PM to 1:30 AM, giving you a full night of food, drinks, music, and scenic cruising. With everything included and a comfortable indoor setting, it is one of the most enjoyable ways to celebrate New Years Eve in NYC.
