Unforgettable experience

Excellent experience, we set sail just before and saw the whole sunset and the statue of freedom up close. The delicious hot drink. The warm and friendly team.

If you want to cruise the Hudson look no further!

After a LOT of research on statue cruises we came across Classic Harbour Line (slightly more expensive than others) but boy was it worth it! When you consider the quality of their boats, the face you are given a reserved area to sit, the first drink is included. I actually think they are under charging for the level of service they provide. Without a doubt it was a highlight of all our trip to New York from the UK. Beautiful boat, attentive and friendly staff. So many tourist attractions can actually be really stressful this was absolutely far from that. It was relaxing we got to spend time together as a family whilst iconic New York sights. Everything ran to schedule and the setting was beautiful. Thank you!!

This cruise was the...

This cruise was the perfect escape from the chaos of the city. The captain and crew were great, the boat was classic and comfortable, and it was just the right amount of time. For my family, this was one of our favorite parts of our NYC Christmas trip.
