Summer is right around the corner, and everyone is already talking about their plans on how to enjoy it. What could be more perfect for a summer day than to go out on a boat to enjoy some fine dining and see the sights from the Skyline Princess?
Whether you already plan on going away on vacation this summer or plan on enjoying it all here in the New York area, the Skyline Princess has bookings available for many weekend days throughout the season. So, you can enjoy a four-hour getaway that fits your schedule. And you can make all your friends and family jealous with the fantastic selfies you can take along the way!
What Kind Of View Can I Get Aboard The Skyline Princess?
Embarking from the World’s Fair Marina in Flushing, Queens, the Skyline Princess offers all on board a uniquely stunning view of the Manhattan skyline. Additionally, you’ll get to see breathtaking views of New York’s most iconic landmarks… including the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, the Brooklyn Bridge, and much more.
With our dinner cruise this summer, you’ll get to enjoy all these sights starting in sunlight and watching as the sun sets. Seeing the sky change color before the lights of the Manhattan skyline at night creates a different – but equally beautiful – sightseeing experience.
What Is National Selfie Day?
Selfies are much older than you think. As long as there has been art, people have been making self-portraits.
The first documented photographic self-portrait (known today as a “selfie”) was taken by Robert Cornelius in 1839. Selfies in general – and that event in particular – are honored every June 21st as National Selfie Day.
How Can I Take The Best Selfies From The Skyline Princess?
While the sightseeing is undeniably gorgeous, if you’re trying to make your friends and family jealous that you’re enjoying a dinner cruise on the Skyline Princess then there are tips to keep in mind for taking the best selfies.
Some of the most important pieces of advice that can be given are to make sure you take a picture from a slight angle and never head-on, have a relaxed and natural expression, and use the burst mode setting on your phone’s camera so you’ll have many pics to choose from. This way you can go through your gallery and choose the one that came out the best.
Keep in mind, since our yacht is moving you will have a limited time to get a picture with the background that you want most. We know that sightseeing is a big part of why people choose the Skyline Princess but don’t forget to take pictures of our three-course dinner offerings from our celebrated chefs as well.
And if you get your pictures taken before June 21st, you can save the best one for National Selfie Day!
