Enjoy a buffet dinner, live DJ, and skyline views of New York landmarks on a relaxed 150-minute cruise along the Hudson and East Rivers.
About this tour
See New York’s skyline from the water on a relaxed evening cruise, with dinner, music, and open-air views along the way. The New York Dinner Cruise pairs a chef-prepared buffet with a front-row look at the city’s waterfront landmarks.
Settle into a guaranteed table for your confirmed party size in the enclosed, climate-controlled dining room, then enjoy freshly prepared entrees, salads, and desserts. Unlimited coffee, hot tea, iced tea, and water are included. As the boat travels along the Hudson and East Rivers, take in views of the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Brooklyn Bridge, and One World Trade Center. Step out onto the open-air decks for a closer look, or stay inside and enjoy the live DJ and lively atmosphere. A cash bar offers cocktails, wine, and beer for purchase.
The 150-minute New York Dinner Cruise departs from Chelsea Piers, Pier 61. Boarding starts 30 minutes before departure, so arrive early and make time to enjoy the views from the moment you step aboard.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.16 from 1,407 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in New York City
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 3.1.
