Statue & Skyline Cocoa Cruise

Highlights

Description

Experience the holidays from the water on Classic Harbor Line’s Statue & Skyline Holiday Cocoa Cruise. Set sail from Chelsea Piers aboard the Yacht Manhattan or Manhattan II, 1920s-style vessels adorned in garlands and twinkling lights. Inside the heated grand salon, guests sip rich house-made cocoa (spiked if you wish) and nibble on cookies while the captain shares light narration about Manhattan’s skyline, bridges, and harbor landmarks. Outside, the city glows—from the Freedom Tower to the Statue of Liberty—creating an unforgettable winter backdrop. Perfect for families and couples alike, this 1.5-hour holiday cruise offers warmth, comfort, and breathtaking views of New York’s most famous sights all dressed up for the season.
