Hit the high seas on a quickie escape
Cruise to Nowhere from NYC
Winter in New York may be brisk, but it's one of the most affordable times to visit the Big Apple. Plus, you can expand your horizons with the one-night “Weekend Getaway” cruises offered by Norwegian Cruise Line. Embarking on select Saturday afternoons in January 2010 from Manhattan’s West Side, the sleek Norwegian Gem glides down the Hudson River, past New York’s classic “canyons of steel” cityscape, and into New York Harbor under the gaze of Lady Liberty. As the mega-ship continues to drift towards the horizon, cruisers can kick off their evenings gambling at the onboard casino, dining at one of the 12 restaurants, or dancing under the stars. Ships dock back in the city early Sunday morning, leaving a full day to cap off a perfect Gotham visit.
