All aboard! Take your little sailors to Fleet Week from May 24 – May 30 and ride the NY Waterway ferry to the event. If you bring any veterans or military members, NY Waterway is offering free ferry service with identification to all military personnel. NY Waterway ferries are the fastest, most convenient way to get to all the Fleet Week activities.
Ferries also offer a great vantage for the Parade of Ships. Kids will love watching warships cruise up the Hudson River past the New York skyline on the morning of May 24.
Thousands of Sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen will be in Manhattan for Fleet Week New York. Hosted nearly every year since 1984, Fleet Week New York offers ship tours, musical performances, athletic competitions and other events – including a Memorial Day ceremony at the Intrepid Sea Air & Space Museum.
