July 4th Cruises Are Back!

NY Waterway to Host Evening Sightseeing Cruises to Watch the Macy's 4th of July Fireworks

NY Waterway will offer sightseeing cruises this Independence Day, giving passengers unparalleled views of the Macy’s 45th Annual 4th of July fireworks display—the nation’s largest synchronized fireworks event.

Each cruise offers food, beverages, a DJ and music synchronized to the fireworks to make the celebration truly memorable. The holiday tradition was suspended in 2020 due to COVID-19, but is restarting in 2021 as the region reopens and recovers.

NY Waterway will offer two early evening cruise departures from the Port Imperial Ferry Terminal in Weehawken, NJ, which has indoor parking and is easily accessible by bus and light rail. Ticketholders from New York City will receive a free round trip on NY Waterway ferries between Midtown and Port Imperial to make traveling to and from the cruise quick and easy.
