A Lunch Cruise aboard Bateaux is among the most unique ways to see Manhattan. Great for New York City natives and visitors alike, the two-hour cruise is an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city in a relaxed, yet sophisticated, setting. Bring the family, gather a group of friends, or entertain business clients and associates. Enjoy an afternoon of dining, dancing and incredible views as you cruise along the Hudson River.
Bateaux cruises depart from Chelsea Piers in New York City, following a route that includes well-known landmarks like the Freedom Tower, the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. See the majestic New York City skyline and get up-close views of the iconic Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges. Enjoy incredible views from inside the glass-enclosed ship or head out to the open-air observation area. Bateaux’s pianist will entertain you with interesting facts about New York’s notable sights as we cruise by.
Our pianist will also delight with a variety of tunes. You'll hear music ranging from a light selection of familiar favourites to a more up-tempo assortment featuring jazz, Broadway and blues. Piano melodies are the perfect complement to a leisurely three-course lunch, filled with flavourful selections prepared by our chef. Enjoy attentive and friendly service for your party while you savour creative appetizers, entrées and desserts.
