New York Harbor Wine and Jazz Sail aboard Clipper City
Overview
Sail toward the sun setting behind the Statue of Liberty and return with the Manhattan skyline glittering before you—a view that captures New York at its very best. More than a cruise, this is an homage to the owner’s New York jazz roots, brought to life by a rotating cast of the city’s most accomplished musicians. From smoky ballads to bebop, swing, American standards, and straight-ahead jazz, the music flows seamlessly with the rhythm of the harbor.
On deck, the Clipper City channels the cozy elegance of Bemelmans and the iconic energy of the Monkey Bar—intimate, timeless, and full of charm. With up to two glasses of wine included, plus a full bar on board, it’s the ultimate way to celebrate, impress, or simply lose yourself in the magic: sailing aboard New York’s largest Tall Ship, set against the dazzling backdrop of the world’s most vibrant city. A night that feels authentically New York—sophisticated and alive, relaxed yet unforgettable.
