Traveler reviews
Wonderful night cruise
Great views. Advise to go early as window seats fill quickly. Outside seats get chilly with the wind. Many people outside stood up affecting the views of seated viewers. There are premium seats indoors and outdoors for extra fee when you chose your tickets. Staff very friendly and the dock is very easy to locate.
Beautiful views
We got a tip to stand outside in the front of the boat and it was wonderful! The stopping of the boat near the Statue of Liberty was a bonus!!
A great intro to the big apple!
This wasn’t our first trip to NY but we hadn’t done a river cruise before. We booked this 7pm 2hr cruise and were very happy! The organisation for getting on boat (boat held a lot of people) was good- seating on first come first serve basis. The commentary was live and the guide very obviously experienced and enjoying his job. The views of course were spectacular. We also had the option to buy food/ drink at one of the boats bars. We would recommend. 😊
Great view of city especially at night
Great tour with really good host who gave lots of local knowledge as we went along. Plenty of room for everyone to have good views and photo opportunities. We were very lucky to have great weather otherwise you could be quite disappointed if you couldn’t be up top or out on front. Was pretty much 2hrs which was long enough. Would definitely recommend. We did night tour.
Wow
This experience blew me away!!! We had speculator weather. The sky was orange and it cast beautifully against the buildings. We are doing this tour again on our next visit!!!
