What a fabulous day for the tourism industry to come together and celebrate the arrival of the newest ship to offer dining options on New York’s Harbor. The Hornblower Infinity will offer brunch, dinner, cocktail cruises from Pier 40 on the Hudson River at West Houston Street.
Cristyne Nicholas was the Emcee this morning and did a terrific job of introducing the special guests including: Anna Maria Perez de Tagle who sang the National Anthem, Terry MacRae, CEO, Hornblower Cruises & Events and Statue Cruises , Madelyn Wils, President and CEO, Hudson River Park Trust and Julie Menin, Chairwoman, Community Board I, Diana Taylor, Chairwoman, Hudson River Park Trust & Hornblower Infinity Godmother and Revered Megan Sanders who gave the blessing from The Seamen’s Church.
Tours and a buffet lunch followed the ceremony so that the guests could see the seven decks and spaces available for cruises.
