1.00I am really surprised that TripAdvisor is affiliated with this company. Unfriendly staff, worst coffee we had in our live ( and trust me I am not obsessed with organic sustainable coffee) We were promised complementary photos which never materialised despite us asking staff several times. Do yourself a favour do not waste your time in NY with this company. If I could I would definitely ask for a refund.
Short and sweet cruise.

3.00Lots of great info, employees were polite, music was way too loud and the ship’s windows were too dirty to take pictures from inside on a cold day.
Fantastic trip with great views

5.00We had a great time, fantastic view of Statue of Liberty and other sights of Manhattan, New Jersey, Brooklyn and the bridges. The tour guide was funny. There was an option to pay an extra $20pp to go on the top deck with a better view which we opted for, this gave 2 drinks included.
Exactly what we wanted

5.00We had a great time aboard the starship boat. The commentary was entertaining and educational. We were able to have breath-taking views of the Statue of Liberty and many other historical locations. Oh and Darius, our guide, was fabulous!

1.00Missed the boat. I got dropped off a few minutes before the boat left but they wouldn't let me board saying it was too late. I'm not fr NY so I had to Uber everywhere. No way to request a refund either. Total loss.
Great Tour

3.00It was great seeing the Statue of Liberty and the skyline, but there was loud music blaring the whole time and the guides reminding us to tip him.
Absolutely Fantastic!

5.00Darius was absolutely spectacular! He was very funny and engaging. He made the experience for both my son and I that much better. The views were out of this world. The music was so festive and jolly. The entire crew was welcoming, friendly, and professional. The photographer was professional and kind. The bartender was amazing and sweet. My overall experience was a 10/10
