We enjoyed our cruise and seeing all the landmarks and NYC skyline. There’s a tour guide but unfortunately you can’t hear his audio. Would have liked to hear him better as he seems to have lots of interesting info. If you want a nice seat and don’t have the premier ticket arrive more than 30 min ahead to get your spot!

A wonderful way to see the city from the water. Great views of the Statue of Liberty. The narrator/guide on the tour was knowlegable.

A nice way to see the Statue of Liberty and lower Manhattan including One World Tower and the Brooklyn Bridge. Friendly staff and a comfortable cruise. The microphone wasn’t working great hence the 4 stars instead of five.

The obvious, when on the water, wear warm clothing. Beware of teen groups - They can be obnoxious as most teenagers are.

Excellent and informative. I would book it again! We traveled as a group of high school students visiting New York for the first time.
