FDA 483 - HornBlower Cruises and Events LLC - July 31, 2025

An FDA inspection of Hornblower Cruises and Events LLC in New York, NY, revealed significant deficiencies in their passenger vessel and watering point operations. The firm was cited for multiple issues related to backflow prevention, sanitation facility planning, potable and non-potable water system maintenance, and inadequate record-keeping, with many observations being repeats from a previous inspection. These conditions indicate a potential risk for water contamination and the spread of communicable diseases.
