Louisa of the Seas

The Louisa of the Seas is a U.S.-flagged passenger vessel currently operating along the East Coast, primarily in New York Harbor.

The vessel measures approximately 35 meters (about 115 feet) in length and 6 meters (about 20 feet) in width, placing it in the category of mid-sized private event yachts. This size allows it to offer a balance of intimacy and space, making it well-suited for private celebrations.

The yacht is designed across multiple levels. The upper deck is open-air and typically used for ceremonies and panoramic views, while the main deck is enclosed and used for dining, dancing, and the reception. The layout reflects its purpose as a passenger vessel adapted for events, allowing guests to move easily between indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the cruise.

Sailing under the United States flag, the Louisa of the Seas is part of the working fleet of passenger vessels that operate along the New York coastline, continuing the long-standing tradition of hosting gatherings on the water while taking in the city from a unique vantage point.

Why Westgate New York Grand Central?

Nestled in Manhattan’s historic Tudor City neighborhood, the Westgate New York Grand Central has been part of New York City’s story for nearly a century.

Originally opened in 1931 as the legendary Hotel Tudor, this iconic property was built during one of New York’s most celebrated architectural eras and has welcomed guests from around the world ever since. In 2021, the hotel completed an impressive $20 million renovation, thoughtfully restoring and modernizing its guest rooms, suites, and public spaces while preserving the historic character and elegance that make it so unique.

Today, the Westgate beautifully blends old New York charm with modern luxury, making it a truly special place for us to celebrate this unforgettable moment with the people we love.
