Thursday, Dec 31 NewYears.com Presents Horizon's Edge Yacht NYE Party Cruise

About the party

NewYears.com presents a New Year's Eve party cruise aboard the Horizon's Edge yacht, boarding at Pier 81 on West 41st Street and 12th Avenue in Hell's Kitchen on Thursday, December 31. Boarding starts at 8 PM, the yacht leaves at 9 PM and returns at 1 AM, passing downtown and the Statue of Liberty for the midnight fireworks.

What to expect

Three event spaces on separate decks, each with its own bar, dance floor and LED lighting, plus an outdoor Sky Deck. A four-hour open bar and a dinner buffet are included, and every ticket comes with reserved seating. The listing calls the cruise family-friendly. My take: this suits a mixed group, including families, who want dancing and a seat on the water at midnight.

Music and lineup

A live DJ is promised on the listing; no name and no genre are given. Set times are not published.

Before you go

Boarding is at 8 PM and the boat departs at 9 PM sharp; it returns at 1 AM. Eventbrite marks the cruise all ages and the listing calls it family-friendly. The yacht boards at Pier 81, 12th Avenue and West 41st Street. Allow travel time; the organizer is not responsible for missed boardings, and a wait outside is likely. The listing says the cruise goes ahead in any weather, that the route can change at the direction of the Coast Guard or local authorities, and that the fireworks are up to the city and the weather. The buffet is not meant as a full dinner, per the listing. Coat check and accessibility are not stated.

Refunds (NewYears.com)

The listing's FAQ says all sales are final, with no refunds unless the event is cancelled.
