There was too much ice to go out on the water, but we were still able to have a beautiful experience dockside with music and delicious food. Looking forward to going back again when the weather is nicer, with the voucher that's being provided for the last minute change in plan. Would recommend to locals and those traveling to NY!

We had an absolutely wonderful time on the night cruise. From the moment we stepped aboard, everything felt well-organized, welcoming, and upscale. The boat itself was lovely, clean, and spacious. The food fresh and flavorful. The entertainment was just as impressive and engaging. The views from the boat were just beautiful. Overall, this cruise delivered on every level. If you’re looking for a special evening out, I’d highly recommend it.

The Viator confirmation link took us the wrong location. By the time we figured out where we need to be, it was two hours away

It was a beautiful experience. Great views from all seats. The staff & crew were super attentive and very professional. The food was superb. We celebrated our 25 year anniversary & the crew brought me a bouquet of long stem red roses. It was a spectacular, magical night. Highly recommend Bateaux dinner cruise.
Fantastic NYC Dinner and Jazz River Cruise

This was our 4th time celebrating our anniversary in NYC on the Bateaux Dinner Cruise, and we come back every year. The attention to detail by criise director Mr. Swan is rare and the service is classy and well done. The food is better than we expected as many cruise meals are pretty mediocre, but the food here is very good with fresh ingredients and great flavors. We are foodies and Bateaux did not disappoint. The live jazz music is always done well covering standards as well as renditions of songs across genres. The band is classy and talented. I highly recommend this experience!
Bad food, great boat.

The ship is beautiful. The service was great. However, the food not so much. My wife and I both ordered the short rib and it was absolutely the worst short rib I’ve ever eaten or seen in my life. Literally. We paid $750. For this amount of money, they could definitely order more premier cuts of meat. Meat was tough and extremely fatty.

It was a very good experience according to the cost. I did not rate it as excellent because I would have preferred a table over the windows but the service, the quality of the food and the atmosphere were really good. The Hudson River night walk around New York and its lights is really something special.
