4th of July Cruises in New York 2025

4th of July cruises in New York are the best way to experience Independence Day. See the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty and the icing on the cake; fireworks lighting up the sky over the Hudson River. If you are in New York on the 4th of July, I highly recommend booking one of the below cruises and making this typical American holiday an unforgettable experience!
Please note: the order of cruises will change as they sell out.
