A little disorganised but turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. We went on this trip at the end of October, turned out the trip had a number of different options we weren’t aware of. The boat had three decks, two indoor and one outdoor, with the lower deck for people on a dinner cruise and the middle deck for a Halloween party. We looked to be the only people to have booked the City Lights cruise, paid extra for the premium option, but beyond the drink and snack this didn’t add much, there was meant to be priority boarding but we were last to be allowed to board after the dinner and party guests. We were initially directed to a table on the lower deck in a corner away from all the people due to be eating with no real communication around what we were meant to do when everyone else was eating, this was the strange bit. It felt like we were gate crashing but being made to sit out of the way, especially as we paid for a city lights tour, being sat inside wouldn’t have given a great experience. After 10 mins of sitting there awkwardly whilst other people were being served drinks and snacks, we asked to sit in the top deck outside. For much of the cruise we had the entire deck to ourselves, with people coming up in between their different food courses. Great views of the skylines, bridges and Statue of Liberty. May have been the time of year, with a lot less people on board, but we really enjoyed this, especially not having a lot of people on board we could move around the deck without many people onboard.

Seeing NYC from the water felt completely new. We were blown away even as locals. It gave us a fresh appreciation of our city

Taking an evening boat cruise with my wife through Event Cruises in New York City was an absolute delight. A perfect 5-star date night! The yacht was gorgeous, super comfy, and the crew was so warm and attentive, making us feel like VIPs as we sipped wine and soaked in stunning sunset views of the Manhattan skyline and Statue of Liberty. The vibe was romantic yet relaxed, with just the right amount of info about the sights without feeling like a tour lecture. Booking was a cinch, and their spot near Pier 40 was easy to find. Event Cruises Line made our evening on the water unforgettable!

Had a great time with Event Cruises. Boat was intimate and our dinner table sat right at the window and overlooked NY for half of the trip and NJ for the other half. We were able to go onto the deck and get beautiful photos of the Brooklyn Bridge and Statue of Liberty at night. buffet style dinner was delicious, DJ and music was great and found myself dancing with new friends at neighboring tables. The wait staff was attentive and friendly. We had Bryan T who took care of us the whole night. Whenever we needed drinks refilled he was there. Would recommend for couples, parties or anyone wanting a relaxing night out.

We bought 2 premium but found out that’s the lowly class as Liberty Cruise has 2 other categories and you are seated at the “kids table at Thanksgiving dinner” and absolutely careless staff don’t care for you or stop by other than telling where to sit. not recommended
