    Cruise Agenda

    1. Welcome Aboard at World's Fair Marina Arrive at our convenient Flushing, Queens location. Our crew will greet you as you step onto the Skyline Princess, where you can settle in and enjoy the initial views of Citi Field and the Flushing Bay waterfront.

    2. Cast Off & Departure As we begin our journey, grab a drink and head to the top deck. We’ll navigate the East River, passing under the historic bridges of New York City while our staff prepares a delicious spread.

    3. Gourmet Lunch is Served Enjoy a freshly prepared lunch featuring a variety of chef-prepared dishes. Dine in our climate-controlled cabins, and you’ll have a front-row seat to the ever-changing skyline.

    4. The Ultimate Photo Op: Liberty Island We’ll cruise right up to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. The yacht slows down here to ensure everyone gets that perfect, unobstructed photo with Lady Liberty and the Freedom Tower in the background.

    5. Hit the Dance Floor with our Live DJ Once we’ve turned back toward Queens, the energy kicks up! Our professional DJ spins a mix of hits and classics on the all-weather rooftop lounge. It’s time to dance, socialize, and celebrate.

    6. Scenic Return & Farewell Soak in the final views of the Empire State Building and the United Nations. We’ll glide back into the World's Fair Marina, leaving you perfectly positioned for the rest of your afternoon in NYC. Make sure to tip your waitstaff!

    This cruise delivers a genuinely memorable experience on the water, with staff consistently earning top marks across the board. Crew members like Bella, Eugene, Michelle, and Adriana are called out repeatedly by name, which says a lot about how personal and attentive the service feels. The food gets strong praise, the DJ keeps things lively, and there's a photographer on board if you want to leave with something tangible. Free parking at the dock is a nice bonus that several reviewers appreciated. The experience works well for a range of occasions, from milestone birthdays and Mother's Day dinners to corporate events and family outings with kids. Views of the Manhattan skyline and surrounding bridges are a highlight, and there's plenty of outdoor deck space to take it all in. One reviewer did mention a rude manager, though this appears to be an isolated incident in an otherwise overwhelmingly positive pattern of feedback. A practical tip worth noting: the air conditioning inside can run quite cold, so bringing a light layer is a smart move. Beyond that, most guests leave genuinely impressed, and the recurring theme across reviews is that the crew's warmth and professionalism make the whole experience feel well worth it.

    NST Couples club evening cruise on 8-22-26. The crew and waiting staff were very friendly and helpful. The food from the buffet for the most part was good. The chicken cutlets were flavorful but a little tough. The only other complaint was that the air conditioning was set too high. When we asked for it to be lowered a bit as it was freezing on the main deck, there was no change made. That said, we will hopefully be returning for another cruise in the future.
