Imagine the prom night photos with the iconic landmarks of NYC – the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, Ellis Island and more – providing a rotating backdrop.

The kids can dance the night away on our dedicated dance floor, with either your own DJ or one that we book for you.
How Do You Plan a School Event?
Our in-house event planners will work to take as much of the load off your shoulders as possible. If you have your own bands or DJs, caterers or other vendors, we are happy to work with them. If not, our expert staff can take on those duties utilizing the dizzying array of connections we’ve built up over more than three decades of cruises.
There are some basic steps you can take to ensure that your event goes off as planned:
- Create a concise list of objectives. (i.e., booking a band or DJ.
- Determine your budget, with extra set aside for the unexpected.
- Book your venue. (Obviously, we recommend the Skyline Princess).
- Determine your vendors (catering, supplies, services, and other expenditures).
- Always, always make an alternate plan in case something unexpected happens.
