Hot cocoa, holiday music, and the New York skyline outside your window: Cocoa & Carols takes you around the harbor aboard a festively decorated yacht.
What to expect
Settle into the heated, glass-enclosed salon of a 1920s-style yacht on this 90-minute Classic Harbor Line cruise. A live band plays holiday songs as the city passes outside, so you can enjoy the waterfront views while staying warm.
The route offers views of the Financial District skyline, Governors Island, Ellis Island, and the Statue of Liberty. Evening departures add the city lights to the experience. Seating is assigned to your booking.
One drink and cookies are included. Choose house-made cocoa, with an optional splash of spirits, or an alternative such as wine, beer, or a soft drink. Additional drinks cost extra. Children’s tickets are available on selected earlier departures, so check your chosen sailing before booking.
Good to know
I’d choose a departure based on whether you’d rather see the skyline in daylight or illuminated after dark.
Bring a warm jacket even with the heated indoor seating, in case you want to step outside for photos.
Think of the cookies as a small treat. I’d eat beforehand if you’re hungry.
