After a hugely successful trial season in Fall 2011, our Small Group Private Parties are back in full swing starting March 17, 2012. Small groups (30-50 people) can enjoy their own private area with dramatic sightseeing views, a private bar and passed appetizers on board each of our sightseeing cruises this summer. It’s a great way to treat your clients to a personalized, fun and VIP sightseeing experience in New York City.

We’ll work with you to finalize the perfect set of food and drink options to suit your group needs. Options start from $44 per person including your cruise and all taxes, and up to $81 per person for a 3-hour cruise with a 3-hour open bar and passed appetizers throughout your cruise.
