Can it really be true? A corporate holiday party that's actually thrilling, elegant and (whisper it) fun? The answer is yes! A festive cruise aboard a Hornblower yacht offers guests the chance to celebrate the season in truly sumptuous surroundings—check out the photos in our slideshow to see for yourself—so you'll be cruising all winter long.
The old-school elegance and beauty of the cruise sets the scene for some classy interactions—and that's good news for those of you who are keen to network at festive functions and corporate events in New York. What's more, Hornblower can accommodate nearly any holiday event request for corporate groups and social planners alike.
New Yorkers are on-the-move in every which way, and there are few places quite so spectactular to shake your stuff as on the dancefloor of a luxury yacht. Better yet, Hornblower has lovingly assembled your perfect holiday party playslists on Spotify. There are collections for happy hour (featuring tracks by Beyoncé, Groove Armada and Jimmy Buffett), dinner time (cuts by Maroon 5, Frank Sinatra and the Kooks) and of course, that all-important dance party (with hits from Lady Gaga, the Clash and Daft Punk).
And if you really want to be sure your party cruise feels like plain sailing, check out the Hornblower list of fashion tips for men and women; the checklist runs the course from the stylish to the essential (gentlemen: choosing a well-fitting cotton shirt will mean you can avoid the sweaty-armpit look everyone dreads!).
Hornblower even has you covered for smaller group outings, with its seasonal lunch and dinner cruises. The Festive Holiday Lunch Cruise takes place on state-of-the-art eco-yacht the Hornblower Hybrid and features a decadent lunch buffet and DJ, as well as stunning panoramic views of the city (prices start at $50 per person). The Festive Holiday Dinner Cruise offers a three-hour cruise with sumptuous food, a DJ and mesmerizing views of the city skyline at night (prices start at $92).
