“We had an amazing night at the skyline princess on new year’s eve!!! Lovely furniture with round tables, funny celebration stuff on them (like hats, crowns, bracelets…) for the guests, very friendly and obliging staff, good music and dance possibilities on a separate deck, and a stunning view over the skyline, Statue of Liberty, and the fireworks right next to it. All drinks and food were included. The food was very delicious and the drinks were good mixed. They even had Malibu!!! 🙂 We would definitely recommend these guys!! It was an excellent experience and definitely the better option than spending New Year’s Eve at the cold and overcrowded Times Square ;)”   — Elena S

Atlantis: Purchase Tickets

Atlantis is primarily a private party yacht that holds events for up to 350 guests .  For our NYE NYC event, we open the yacht to smaller parties to enjoy the sights of New York City and the fireworks display.  With three levels to party, our main  dining salon, lounge deck, and sky deck, guests have plenty of area to relish in the lights of the skyline of NYC.  

Not only are the views spectacular, guests can dance the night away on our dance floor, or party under the New York Skyline on the sky deck, with our state-of-the-art sound system built in on all levels.

 Our events begin with a cocktail hour, where guests enjoy signature cocktails, passed hor’doeuves , and mingling as the yacht sets sail.  After a little cruise time, guests are invited to enjoy their main course prepared by our on-board executive chef.  Take in the views, snap photos, chat or find some friends on the dance floor!  

Our cruises are designed to allow you to relax and let loose the way you choose.   Coffee, Tea, and Dessert service is offered in our last hour of the NYC cruise.    

Cruise in Comfort

The Atlantis of New York Cruises is USCG certified for 406 guests.   To provide maximum comfort during our NYE Firework Cruise, we sell less than half of our allowed passenger count .  This ensures that each guest has room to view the fireworks and their own seat as part of the ticket price.  There are no hidden fees.

WE HOPE TO SEE YOU ABOARD ATLANTIS’ NYE CRUISE!

Can you think of a better place to spend New Year's Eve than New York City? On this special day thousands of people flock to the city from around the world to be a part of the many attractions in Manhattan. But there's one characteristic that each one of those attractions shares that's not so enticing - the crowds. This upcoming New Year's Eve in New York City, opt for a memorable experience aboard what's considered the most popular yacht off of Manhattan's coast - the Infinity Yacht. We're sure you heard about last year's event, and if you weren't lucky enough to get access to it here's your chance.

This magnificent ship is a phenomenon of the seas and known around New York City as a sign of elegance and sophistication. It's not everyday that you get a 210-foot yacht that welcomes up to 1,000 of the city's elite to come aboard and enjoy the regal amenities on hand. At first glance, what gets ones attention are the multiple levels - three climate-controlled decks that feature custom LED lighting, state-of-the-art sound systems with flat screen monitors, and dance floors for the music at hand. The lucky guests aboard this gorgeous vessel will have the great opportunity to access four hours of premium open bar, a special champagne toast at midnight, and delicious passed hors d'oeuvres aboard this black-tie optional event. There will be mouth-watering cuisine provided at various buffet stations, ensuring that your New Year's Eve appetite is satisfied.

One of New York City's most prominent DJs will be on hand delivering sounds throughout the voyage. While you'd think that things couldn't get any better, you'll have the best vantage point of the popular and highly sought after New Year's Eve fireworks display high above the city. There's no denying that this will be a premiere attraction on the biggest day of the year in New York City. Here's your chance to be a part of it, so get your tickets while you still can!

Two Holland America workers who died on cruise were allegedly boiled in steam blast

T wo Holland America employees who died in a cruise ship’s engineering space were allegedly killed by a steam explosion – and the vessel’s emotional captain broke down when he announced the tragedy to the passengers.

Engineer Joseph Terrado of the Philippines and Wawan Gusnawan of Indonesia, a wiper, were killed in the horrific accident aboard the Florida-based Nieuw Amsterdam while docked in the Bahamas on Friday, Miami attorney Jim Walker told WPLG.

“There was an accidental steam release in an engineering space on board Nieuw Amsterdam, which sadly resulted in the death of two crew members,” Holland America said in a statement, NBC News reported.

The Bahamas Maritime Authority and the Dutch Safety Board are investigating the exact cause of the accident, the company added.

One of the passengers said the captain announced the deaths of the two crewmen.

“We were celebrating the last day of the cruise,” Laine Doss told the outlet, saying the jubilant mood changed “to something extremely somber” when the captain came on the PA system.

“He broke down crying. There was a moment of silence that the captain requested. And that entire scenario did affect the entire cruise,” she said.

“Things were canceled, joyous events were canceled, and we really just thought about mortality — the people who perished on the ship,” Doss added.

Walker alleged that a mechanical failure triggered the explosion of a steam compensator, adding that the response by workers may have led to the victims getting trapped in an area where oxygen depleted as it filled with steam vented at 356 degrees Fahrenheit, the Dutch NL Times reported .

The attorney based his allegations on statements and images sent to him by Holland America workers who wished to remain anonymous, according to the outlet.

The company said crew members were being offered counseling.

Dutch government inspectors determined the Nieuw Amsterdam to be “fully operable,” and this was “confirmed” by the US Coast Guard, Holland America told NBC News.

A Coast Guard rep said she was looking into the statement and was unable to immediately confirm it, according to the outlet.

“All of us at Holland America Line are deeply saddened by this event,” the company said. “We’ve been in contact with the families of both team members and are offering our support to them and to all of our crew at this difficult time.”  

The ship, which carries up to 2,106 passengers and operates under a Dutch flag, departed the private Half Moon Cay, also known as Little San Salvador Island, in the Bahamas for Fort Lauderdale a few hours after the accident.

Authorities from the Netherlands also were sent to the Bahamas to investigate the fatal accident, NL Times reported.

The Post has reached out to Holland America for comment.

Carnival freedom cruise ship catches fire for second time in less than 2 years.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

The Carnival Freedom cruise ship experienced its second fire in less than two years, and passenger footage caught the flames with smoke coming from the ship’s exhaust funnel Saturday afternoon. 

“That’s nutty,” X user @breezebreeze_ can be heard while showing the fire aboard the ship.

Carnival Cruise Line put out several tweet replies regarding the incident they say happened at 3:15 ET. 

“Carnival Freedom reported a fire on the port side of the ship’s exhaust funnel,” one of the posts read. “The ship was 20 miles off Eleuthera Island, Bahamas, heading to Freeport after a canceled call to Princess Cay due to weather.”

The news prompted passengers of the ship’s upcoming departure from Port Canaveral on Monday to ask the cruise line if their itinerary would go off as planned.

“Is the cruise for the Carnival Freedom March 25 departing cruise from Port Canaveral still planning on going?” one X user asked Carnival. “We need to know for travel purposes!”

Carnival Freedom reported a fire on the port side of the ship’s exhaust funnel March 23, 2024.

“I can almost guarantee it’ll be canceled,” another X user wrote about the ship’s next planned cruise. “This isn’t the first time this has happened ironically to this ship, and the following sailing when it happened that time were canceled, but obviously not confirm[ed].”

Carnival quickly responded to quell any rumors, saying it does not expect any impact on the next Carnival Freedom voyage. 

The Freedom’s exhaust funnel caught fire in May 2022 while the ship was docked at Grand Turk Island in Turks and Caicos. Video from then also showed the ship’s funnel – referred to by some as the whale tail – consumed by flames and smoke. 

Footage shows a Carnival Cruise ship on fire in Turks and Caicos in 2022.

The part of the ship that caught fire is designed to help direct the flow of exhaust gases away from the ship, according to the Crown Cruise Vacations website. 

“The ship’s fire response team was quickly activated, and the ship’s captain also turned the vessel towards the heavy rain in the area to maximize the efforts to put out the flames,” Carnival said about Saturday’s fire. “Eyewitnesses reported the possibility of a lightning strike and that is being investigated.”

Carnival said the captain made “multiple announcements to guests and crew” about the fire. The port side of the funnel fell onto Deck 10, Carnival said. No injuries were reported.

The Carnival Freedom was in Freeport as scheduled Sunday, according to CruiseMapper. Carnival said there are no operational issues with the ship’s systems.

Pistons' latest losing streak at seven games after 25-point loss against Knicks

new york nye cruise

With eight players unavailable due to injury, the wounded Pistons ventured to The Big Apple looking to snap a six-game losing streak.

However, it was an admirable dream that was over within the first few minutes of the first quarter. The New York Knicks blitzed the Pistons early on, which included a 20-0 run in the first quarter, and cruised to a 124-99 win on Monday night.

The Pistons (12-60) have lost seven consecutive games since beating the Toronto Raptors on March 13 and with 11 games remaining, the team needs at least four wins to avoid sole possession of the worst record in franchise history (1979-80).

Knicks guard Donte DiVincenzo made a barrage of 3-pointers in the third quarter to keep the Pistons at bay. Five triples in an eight minute span to be exact. He exploded for a game-high 40 points with a career-high 11 3-pointers on 20 attempts. DiVincenzo, who was at the center of a controversial non-call in the last meeting between the Pistons and Knicks, was the catalyst of another New York win at Madison Square Garden.

Jalen Brunson added 28 points and six assists for the Knicks. Former Pistons forward Bojan Bogdanovic finished with 13 points on a 5-of-11 shooting night off the bench. Josh Hart recorded a triple-double with 11 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists.

Cade Cunningham, Jalen Duren, Ausar Thompson, Simone Fontecchio, Quentin Grimes, Taj Gibson, Isaiah Stewart, and Stanley Umude were sidelined due to injury, leaving the Pistons with a group headlined by Jaden Ivey, Marcus Sasser and James Wiseman.

Sasser led the Pistons with 24 points and six assists. Wiseman finished with 14 points and 11 rebounds. Fournier scored 15 points off the bench against his former team. Malachi Flynn had 11 points, three rebounds and three assists.

After being outscored by 19 points in the first quarter, the Pistons finished with a two-point advantage over the Knicks in the second quarter to go into the halftime break trailing by 17. However, Brunson scored the first eight points for New York in the third quarter, which included a 3-pointer while fouled by Tosan Evbuomwan. From there, DiVincenzo took over and propelled the Knicks to their 43rd win of the season and 15th straight over the Pistons.

The Pistons will continue their three-game road trip on Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves, who currently possess the fourth-best record in the NBA.

Jail Cells? Morgues? Your Cruise Ship Has Some Surprises for You.

Here are five unexpected features on ships, some of which you hopefully won’t discover on your own.

A close-up photograph of three decks of a cruise ship's cabins, each of which has a balcony with a half wall of blue glass and two chairs.

By Ceylan Yeğinsu

Cruise ships have hidden features that many passengers, particularly first-timers, don’t know about. Some ships are as big as small cities, and while it’s relatively easy to familiarize yourself with a seemingly endless number of amenities — water parks, tattoo parlors, multiple restaurants — there is also an entire ecosystem, often below passenger decks, that is shrouded in mystery.

Here are five things that cruisers may not know about cruise ships:

There’s a morgue …

Cruise ships carry millions of passengers each year, and it is not uncommon for deaths to occur on board. Most vessels are required to have a morgue and additional body bags in the event of an emergency.

The morgue, usually a small stainless steel refrigerated room on the ship’s lowest deck, accommodates between two to 10 bodies, depending on the size of the vessel. When a passenger or crew member dies, officials on the ship will notify the authorities on shore and a medical team will assess the body and move it to the morgue, where it is kept until arrangements are made for repatriation. In most cases, the body will be removed at the next port of call, but sometimes will remain on board until the end of the voyage.

…and a jail

There are no police officers on cruise ships, but most vessels have small jails known as the brig, and unruly passengers could find themselves locked up if the ship’s security team determines that they have violated the cruise line’s code of conduct.

The brig, usually a bare-bones room with a bed and bathroom facilities, does not have iron bars like a traditional jail cell. It is used to detain guests who commit serious crimes like assault or possession of illegal substances. Drunk and disorderly passengers may be put under “cabin arrest,” meaning they cannot leave their cabin without a security escort.

Depending on the circumstances, most passengers put in the brig will stay there until they can be handed over to law enforcement officials.

Many ships don’t have a Deck 13

Many cruise ships do not have a Deck 13 because of the widespread superstition in Western culture that the number is unlucky. Ships with a Deck 13 typically use it for public areas, not cabins.

Some ships, like Royal Caribbean’s Quantum class vessels, have a Deck 13 because the vessels are used mainly for the company’s market in Asia, where the number is not considered unlucky. MSC ships also have a Deck 13, but not a Deck 17, because the cruise line’s founder is Italian and 17 is considered unlucky in Italy.

Cruise lines entertain other superstitions, like appointing godmothers to bless new vessels and ensure the safety of passengers and crew. They also hold naming ceremonies in which a bottle of champagne is smashed against the hull of a new ship for good luck. If the bottle fails to break, the vessel will, according to superstition, have bad luck. These days, cruise lines use mechanical devices to ensure that does not happen.

Hidden pools and facilities for the crew

There are typically more than 1,000 crew members on board large cruise ships, and while they spend most of their time serving passengers, there are several areas on the lower decks designated for them to unwind.

The facilities vary from ship to ship, but there are usually small pools in the ship’s bow exclusively for crew members, as well as restaurants, bars and recreational areas like game rooms and gyms. The designated bar, a central social hub for employees after they have finished their shifts, often hosts live music and events in the evening.

Royal Caribbean’s Icon of the Seas, the world’s largest cruise ship, has an entire “neighborhood” dedicated to its 2,300 crew members, with a clubhouse that has massage chairs and virtual balconies — large screens that show real-time views from outside — as well as a restaurant with portholes looking out to the ocean.

Most ships host A.A. meetings

With all-inclusive beverage packages and countless bars, cruise ships can be a tough environment for guests in recovery. Many cruise lines offer daily Alcoholics Anonymous meetings that are usually scheduled as “Friends of Bill W.,” a reference to William Wilson, who co-founded the A.A. program in 1935.

The meetings are usually held in a quiet place like the library, where guests can feel comfortable and maintain their anonymity. They are also open to other support group members, like Women for Sobriety and Narcotics Anonymous.

New Year's Eve In New York City

As the new year approaches, New York City gets ready for its annual Times Square celebration. The famous ball drop atop One Times Square has been a tradition dating back to 1906.

Each year, hundreds of thousands of people descend upon Times Square to experience this free event. If you are planning to join the festivities, get there early and be prepared - you'll be corralled into barricaded areas where you'll have to stay for the duration. If you leave, you can't get back to where you were.
