By:Jessica Wilson
Planning a trip to New York in the winter and unsure about taking a sightseeing cruise? Here are some important facts, pros and cons, and information to help you make a decision about cruise in New York in winter:
Most cruise companies operate fully and regularly even in the winter, and except for days with severe weather conditions, there is no problem taking a cruise in the winter here in NYC.
Apart from very specific boat tours, most boats have a heated indoor area where you can stay during the entire cruise and enjoy the experience without going outside into the cold.
When it snows here in New York, it’s a great and a one-time opportunity to see the famous landmarks covered in snow.
There are cruises in New York that only take place in the winter. One of the most popular among them is the New Year’s Eve Cruise (December 31), which offers a view of the city’s famous fireworks display from the boat. It is actually one of the most popular winter tourist attractions here in NYC.
Even though the boats have a heated area, we still recommend that you arrive well dressed and equipped with scarves, gloves, hats, etc.
Winter cruises in New York also offer several significant advantages - the boats are much less crowded and you can enjoy the space. Also, you can often find lower prices during this season.
