5.00Excellent experience, we set sail just before and saw the whole sunset and the statue of freedom up close. The delicious hot drink. The warm and friendly team.
If you want to cruise the Hudson look no further!

5.00After a LOT of research on statue cruises we came across Classic Harbour Line (slightly more expensive than others) but boy was it worth it! When you consider the quality of their boats, the face you are given a reserved area to sit, the first drink is included. I actually think they are under charging for the level of service they provide. Without a doubt it was a highlight of all our trip to New York from the UK. Beautiful boat, attentive and friendly staff. So many tourist attractions can actually be really stressful this was absolutely far from that. It was relaxing we got to spend time together as a family whilst iconic New York sights. Everything ran to schedule and the setting was beautiful. Thank you!!

5.00Great boat offering enclosed views. Crew were brilliant. Offering bar service and cookies inside and taking pictures outside. Boat was much closer than the ferry to Lady Liberty. Highly recommend this trip.
Very Nice Cruise.

5.00Wonderful cruise within New York Harbor on the “Manhattan “. It’s a nicely appointed boat (think classic cabin cruiser or smaller yacht) with beautiful wood details. The seating was reserved and very comfortable. You are not packed in like sardines on this boat. Captain Felix and crew made everyone feel comfortable on board. Good narration of sights along the way. Being on the water gives a good geographical perspective of Manhattan and the other boroughs. Photos can be taken outside of the cabin on the deck. Spiked Hot Cocoa with Kahlua made me happy. 😊
