Will I get seasick?
It's unlikely. The ships operate in New York Harbor, on the Hudson River and the East River, which are all very calm bodies of water. What's more, our ships are large and very stable, so in most cases, you can hardly tell that they're moving.

Do we pass the Statue of Liberty?
Yes. We depart from Pier 81, at West 41st Street and the Hudson River. During the cruise, you will experience the dramatic views of the Manhattan skyscrapers and bridges that make the New York skyline so impressive. The highlight of the cruise is a close-up look at the majestic Statue of Liberty.

Can I reserve a window seat?
Unfortunately, we can not guarantee seating. Seating is done on a first-come, first-serve basis for location.

How large is the yacht?
We have 3 yachts in our fleet. The Duchess is our main yacht used for the public dinner cruise. The Duchess is 160 feet long and seats up to 350 guests for dinner. There are 2 interior meal decks which are climate controlled and 1 full exterior deck giving you 160 feet of outdoor deck space. The dance floor and DJ are located on our main deck.

When we make a reservation, are we seated together at individual tables or are we seated together with other parties?
You will be seated together at a table or group of tables depending on your party's size. There will not be other parties seated at your table(s).

Do you still sail in the rain?
We sail rain or shine, day and evening. The views of New York are spectacular no matter what time of day. The meal decks are enclosed and climate controlled. There are windows surrounding the entire vessel so you will not miss a thing.
