The perfect couple’s day out in New York
Everyone has heard of New York’s most iconic landmarks. So much has been written and said about this city and it’s all true! It is one of the few places where the reality trumps the fantasy! And at RIU we’re doubling down and we’re putting it all on red. Red for love! That’s why we are sharing not only the best plans for a great experience with your partner in this magical place, but also the perfect day out!
Manhattan Adventure
What better way to start the day than from on high? After all, love can be experienced on land, at sea and in the air! If you want to get a different view of the metropolis, take a helicopter ride! From the New York skies you’ll be able to see the Statue of Liberty, Fifth Avenue and the spectacular skyscrapers that dominate the city.
If you’re afraid of heights, but you’re curious to see New York City from a different angle, don’t worry, we’ve also got an alternative idea for you: a boat ride around Manhattan! A delightful cruise caressed by the gentle breeze of the Hudson River.
A romantic stroll through Central Park
Surrounded by gargantuan buildings and towering skyscrapers is Central Park, the city’s lungs. It’s the ideal place for a pit stop while you enjoy a delicious picnic and explore the more than four kilometres of the park. And why not take a ride in a horse-drawn carriage? The perfect combination of nature and tranquillity to restore your energy for the rest of the day.

Sunset at the Empire State Building
New York is known for being a city bursting with life and energy, but it’s also a place where you can take a break and enjoy a beautiful sunset. And what better place than at the Empire State Building! From this historic building you can enjoy views of the entire city, an unbeatable location for a romantic selfie. Or if you prefer a different perspective, the Brooklyn Bridge is another dream location where you can seal your unconditional love by watching the sun go down.
Our busy itinerary couldn’t end any better than with a show at one of Broadway’s many theatres. From its dazzling neon signs to romantic musicals that will sweep you off your feet. And if your trip happens to coincide with Christmas, a trip to the Rockefeller Center for ice skating is a must. It is one of the most iconic experiences in the city!
