A Once-in-a-Generation Event
On July 4, New York Harbor transforms into the most spectacular stretch of water in the world. To mark the 250th anniversary of America's founding, 37 tall ships from 20 countries will sail into the harbor in grand parade formation, including 22 Class A and 15 Class B vessels, the largest gathering of its kind ever to enter the Port of New York.
As the fleet parades past the Statue of Liberty in Presidential review, you'll have front-row views from the deck: the Manhattan skyline behind you, towering masts ahead, and history unfolding across the water. Joining the tall ships are 40+ U.S. and allied naval vessels anchored along the Hudson River for the International Naval Review, and a 120-aircraft aerial salute led by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels flying overhead.
Six million spectators are expected to line 15 miles of shoreline. You'll be on the water.
Our onboard narrators cover the history of the fleet, the ships, and the significance of America's 250th as the parade unfolds before you.
Open seating on indoor and outdoor decks. Full bar and concession stand available throughout the cruise.
