Experience New York City after dark from the best seat in the city, the water. The Harbor Lights Cruise brings the skyline to life as city lights shimmer across the Hudson River, creating a relaxed and unforgettable nighttime atmosphere.

Sail past the illuminated towers of Midtown and Lower Manhattan, glide beneath iconic bridges, and enjoy a camera ready close up view of the Statue of Liberty as the city glows all around you. It is the perfect way to spend an evening with friends, family, or on a memorable date night.

Harbor Lights Cruises run year round, offering a classic nighttime sightseeing experience. Every Harbor Lights Cruise provides a guided-tour experience, with one of our world-famous tour guides, or a self-guided experience using our app. Food and drinks, with a full bar, are available for purchase at our on-board concessions area.

WILG® Special Room Rates start at $479.00 + per night 

Conference registration is required prior to securing your hotel reservations. Upon completion of convention registration and payment you will be provided a link to secure your hotel reservations.

The cutoff date to secure the special room rates is Wednesday, November 4, 2026

Please note that if you do not see the $479+ rate available for your selected travel dates than the special WILG® rate is no longer available for either a portion of or for the entire stay of your selected dates. Please try changing your date selection to see if the rate becomes available. While there still should be availability at the hotel the rates will increase based on availability.

WILG® works extremely hard to secure the lowest room rates possible for its members at properties that our members look forward to and have requested to stay at. In order to ensure the continuation of this and to avoid attrition fees for the association we ask that you kindly stay on property for our events.  WILG® will be charging a nominal fee of $200 for those who choose not to stay on property unless they are local to the area.

Please understand that these policies are not meant to be punitive.  They are meant to protect the association from financial liabilities that occur when rooms are cancelled past the room block contractual release dates and attrition fees are assessed.  We hope you will work with WILG® Staff to avoid these liabilities so we can continue to offer you low rates at beautiful properties in the future. What are the three ways you can assist:  1-Only make room changes thru WILG® Staff 2-Register before you book 3- Don’t book more rooms than you will use – Thank you!
