Traveler reviews
Wonderful family time!
Lovely experience! crew was amazing, food was wonderful. My family loved it ! Tour guide was very informative!
Memorable Moments
This is the second time we have used Classic Harbor Line! We love that this is a small family owned business and prefer the smaller , intimate cruise rather than the ferry's that are overly crowded. The first cruise we used Classic Harbor line was a couple of years ago when we enjoyed the architectural tour around the island of Manhattan. We loved that tour so much that we booked a New York Harbor Brunch Sept of 2025! The Boats are beautiful, we were fed for almost 3 hours, and you can feast your eyes on the NYC skyline and Statue of Liberty! It was a memorable way to spend the day!
Average
The cruise was enjoyable but food standard has definitely deteriorated. The bagels, croissants were dry and crusty. There is no variety for the price you pay. The menu needs revising and more brunch choices should everyone added to the 2nd course. We left feeling cheated
A Must-Do NYC Cruise Experience
An incredible experience! The length of the cruise, breathtaking sights, friendly crew, and beautiful vessel are worth every penny. Loved the intimate vibes — perfect for a small group to enjoy the full loop of the Hudson, East, and Harlem Rivers.
Relaxing way to view NYC
Great relaxing trip with wonderful views of NYC and good food. Length of the trip was just right with a professional staff dedicated in providing good customer service throughout the cruise.
