Traveler reviews
We took the sunset cruise...
We took the sunset cruise on July 5th. It was an amazing experience. We got to see the statue of Liberty up close and the Manhattan skyline of course.
Great experience! Only...
Great experience! Only issue we had was that we booked on the Viator app but when we arrived at the venue there was a sign for 50% off for military & first responders. I reached out to Viator Customer Care but they were unable to help us obtain that discount.
Very good but could be even better.
The trip and the views of the East River, the Battery, the New York skyline and of course the Statue of Liberty at sunset were awesome. I would recommend this trip for those reasons. The one negative is the constant music. I would have liked a bit of narration about the sights we were seeing and some of the history behind them. This would have added a lot to the trip. If that wasn't possible perhaps some patriotic music at the statue would have been a nice addition.
great experience
great views and serene. I would recommend to others as well, good change from hustle and bustle of NYC as such!
Great experience
In expensive unique experience to see a sunset reflecting on the skyline and after that getting it lit for the night
