Traveler reviews
Excellent
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED We were lucky to go on the cruise to see the tall ships visiting New York for USA’s 250th birthday. I have only positive comments to make about Classic Harbor line. From all the employees, the service, the boat, the cruise itself, to the knowledgable tour guide. A perfect afternoon
A fantastic 5th remembering the 4th!
My wife and I had a great time on Jul 5th sailing past all of the tall shops, naval vessels and monuments on the ManhattanII. The crew was terrific on the 115pm trip and our guide (sorry I don’t remember her name) gave us a splendid description of the ships and nyc history for almost 3 hours. A wonderful trip.
Best Way to See New York and its river
Excellent, informative New York Harbor tour with Turnstile Tours on a Classic Harbor Lines boat.
Nice, Three-Hour Tour around Manhattan.
Timing wasn’t great: it was Fleet Week but none of the “tall ships” were there except one, and it wasn’t displaying its sails. The rest weren’t expected till days later. I didn’t know that when booking. Complimentary beverage was great: choice of beer, wine, soft drinks. Service was OK: first drink was immediate, but after that, we had to flag down our wait staff. Cleanup was great. Boat was small (lots of rocking on a calm-sea day), but it took us from Chelsea Piers, up to Intrepid, back down around Manhattan and Jersey coastlines, around to the Manhattan Bridge and back. Nice, long, 3-hour tour. Narration was very informative the entire 3 hours.
Cool views. Hot inside.
Great views and friendly staff. Be prepared as the inside of the boat does not have any air flow. In the summer it is like a greenhouse and so we spent most of the cruise outside to get a breeze. Otherwise, really nice and exactly what we expected.
