To some, Christmas Eve is even more highly-anticipated than Christmas Day. While December 25 might be time to open presents and reflect on the meaning of the holiday, the day before offers a time for families to get together and enjoy each other's company, and a dinner cruise in New York City may be a great way to put a spin on a Yuletide tradition.

In previous years you may have had to plan, cook for and clean up after every Christmas Eve celebration, but aboard the Bateaux entertainment vessel you can leave that up to the pros. Every meal is freshly prepared on board each day and is sure to leave every member of the group satisfied. With live entertainment and dancing, the atmosphere will be like no other Christmas Eve party you've had.

Though the dining experience will certainly be one to remember, what really sets a holiday dinner aboard the Bateaux apart is the beautiful views of the Manhattan skyline. While most people may think they know what the skyline looks like, chances are they haven't seen it from an all-glass boat while floating in New York Harbor.
