About this tour

Welcome the new year on the water, with New York’s skyline glowing around you and the Statue of Liberty as the backdrop for the evening’s fireworks. The New York New Year's Eve fireworks cruise aboard the Grand Mariner pairs harbor views with a lively celebration.

Take in the illuminated Brooklyn Bridge and other city landmarks, enjoy hors d'oeuvres and snacks from gourmet food stations, and raise a glass of unlimited beer or wine.

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 2.2.
