Bateaux New York Elegant Dinner Cruise

Experience the ultimate fusion of gourmet dining, entertainment, and exceptional service in a setting unlike any other. Hardwood floors gleam underfoot, and a glass ceiling and walls reveal magnificent skyline views.

The cruise
Bateaux New York offers star-quality entertainment on every cruise, complete with a state-of-the-art sound system. An acoustic trio consisting of a baby grand piano, bass, and guitar provides background dinner music including jazz, classical melodies, and familiar standards. As the boat coasts along the harbor, guests can dance the night away against the backdrop of Manhattan skyscrapers and some of New York's most celebrated landmarks.

The food
The cuisine is distinctively American, peppered with a creative blend of Mediterranean, Asian, and French influences. Selections from the bountiful wine cellar offer the perfect complement to each dish.
