Worth it! Don’t sleep on this.

Worth every cent! Such a fabulous way to celebrate the holidays with family! A memory you’ll never forget! The food, drinks, and service was perfect. Honestly, I was shocked. Don’t sleep on this.

Perfect Saturday morning

I’ve spent many Christmas weekends in NYC and this is the perfect way to kick off a Saturday during the Holiday season. I’ve tried it all and this is just lovely. Pretty sights, nice food and drink, out of the weather until the day is in full swing. Love it.

Excellent boat ride

I loved the Classic Harbor Line! Seeing New York by boat offers a completely different and fascinating perspective. We passed very close to the Statue of Liberty, ensuring amazing photos. I chose the option with brunch, which lasts almost three hours, and was very worth it. The boat is all closed, so there is no worry of wind or cold. I recommend!
