Tired of doing the same old, same old for New Year’s Eve? Instead of ringing in the New Year on land, sail in the New Year upon one of New Year’s Eve Central’s five luxe boat cruises. Whether you choose to join the more intimate gathering onboard the Half Moon or opt to party with 500 of your closest friends on the Temptress, either way you’re sure to have a nautical good time rollin’ down the river.

Take in the spectacular sights as you sail along the Hudson and East Rivers. Make sure to have your cameras ready to capture the unbelievable views of historical landmarks and the sparkling lights of the urban landscape. As you float along the river, you’ll see the Statue of Liberty, Governors Island, Ellis Island, Manhattan, Brooklyn and Williamsburg Bridges, Chelsea piers, South Street Seaport and the Intrepid Air & Sea Museum. To top it all off, you’ll have the best seat in the city for the New Year’s fireworks display.

The only riverboat docked in Manhattan, The Paddle Wheel Queen, will lazily drift down the East River for a feel of that good old Southern charm, while its guests enjoy multiple dance floors and a state of the art lighting system. Onboard The Half Moon, guests can lounge in the Grand Salon or dance til’ midnight on the oversized dance floor.

Or experience the ultimate in luxury on one of Manhattan’s premier party motor yachts. Capture the electrifying energy and revelry of New Year’s Eve on one of The Jewel’s expansive decks. The Temptress Yacht sets the standard for maritime extravagance, and its New Year's Eve fete promises a dazzling, picture-perfect night.

No matter which cruise you choose you’ll enjoy a four-hour open bar, a dinner buffet or hors d'oeuvres, a midnight champagne toast, New Year’s Eve party favors, a bumpin’ DJ, live New Year’s Eve countdown and treats in the wee morning hours of 2009. Check out each cruise for a more detailed event description and exact offerings.
