Traveler reviews
Nice trip.
I liked that it wasn't a big group of people. There was plenty of space to sit- indoors and outdoors. I felt very safe. Lady Liberty was beautiful.
Two thumbs up
This is a beautiful heated ship. Totally comfortable with lots of seating. Great staff- providing some points of interest without narrating the entire trip. This was a bucket list item and now we want to go back for another cruise!
Great for a team outing!
We had a group of 16 and it was an absolutely fantastic team outing! The check-in/boarding process was smooth and we had the whole back section to ourselves with great service. Couldn’t have asked for a better team outing!
A Perfect Evening on the Hudson
I had a wonderful experience with Classic Harbor Line. The cruise offered breathtaking views of New York City, with a smooth and comfortable ride that made the evening truly special. The staff was exceptionally attentive and courteous, always ensuring that every guest felt welcome and well taken care of. The appetizers were delicious, and the drinks served on board complemented the atmosphere perfectly. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the city — it’s an elegant and memorable way to enjoy the skyline from the water.
Highly recommend!
Would highly recommend this experience, especially for couples! The boat itself was incredibly beautiful, and the views were even more beautiful of the city skyline, statue of liberty, and brooklyn bridge. The boat had a full bar (1 complimentary drink included of your choice, including seasonal cocktails!) and charcuterie to snack on. The tour guides were great in sharing info/facts about the sights, but it did not at all feel like a history lesson (which was much preferred for me!)
