Full Details
Experience Independence Day from the water aboard the Star of the NORTHEAST. This special cruise offers a rare opportunity to witness New York City’s iconic skyline and Macy’s fireworks display from the best seat imaginable—just beyond the shoreline, surrounded by open sky and city lights.
As the yacht anchors for the evening’s main event, you’ll find yourself in a moment that feels lifted from the screen, fireworks unfolding above the city, reflected in the river, while music drifts across the decks.
This is not just another July 4th; it’s a chance to live a moment that most only dream of. Space is limited, so reserve your place aboard and make this July 4th one to remember.
