Nothing says ‘Holidays’ better when you hear the famous words, ‘Central Park, Bloomingdale’s, Statue of Liberty and Hornblower.’ We all know there is something special about celebrating the month of December in a city of bright lights, world famous structures, busy streets and eccentric window displays ringing with holiday glee, but what you might not know is that celebrating the holidays aboard the Hornblower Hybrid is what New Yorkers are talking about.
This holiday jingle in the season with Hornblower New York. Between the holiday shopping and window watching, don’t forget to treat yourself to some R&R and by that we mean with a mouth-watering lunch paired with a festive cocktail or bubbly champagne during Hornblower New York’s Festive Lunch and Dinner Cruise. Not only will these cruises feed your appetite but they will nurture your soul during a relaxing sightseeing cruise along the Hudson River viewing Manhattan’s stunning city skyline and New York’s top attractions including the Brooklyn Bridge, Ellis Island, Statue of Liberty, Freedom Tower and Governor’s Island. Enjoy a buffet style lunch and sounds from an onboard DJ.
