Spirit of New Jersey Dinner Cruise

On the Spirit of New Jersey Dinner Cruise, you will celebrate in New York Harbor aboard a chic, floating bistro with a hip attitude, complete with dining, a live floorshow, and a dance lounge.

This dinner cruise departing from Weehawken, New Jersey is available all year, but these rates apply to Saturdays from January through March.

This cruise offers so much. It's a floating bistro in New York Harbor, and it offers two unique levels of pure enjoyment that include dining, dancing, and spectacular sightseeing.

Come aboard this magnificent 400-passenger vessel, and create your own special experience. You can begin strolling the outdoor deck under the stars, taking in all the sights of the world's greatest skyline. Then step inside, where the cosmopolitan dining decks offer a tasty shipboard buffet with a myriad of wonderful salads, entrees, side dishes and desserts.

While you relax over coffee, live Broadway-quality perfomers provide an entertaining finish to your meal. After the show, head to the disco lounge where flowing libations and the pulsing beat of popular dance music create a chic and sophisticated setting that will let you rock until you dock, and then some.

This quintessential experience is available for dinner year-round. One price covers everything except drinks and tip. So, remember: if you're looking for a unique good time with a hip attitude, head for the Weehawken harbor and the Spirit of New Jersey Dinner Cruise.
