I’ve spent many Christmas weekends in NYC and this is the perfect way to kick off a Saturday during the Holiday season. I’ve tried it all and this is just lovely. Pretty sights, nice food and drink, out of the weather until the day is in full swing. Love it.
Excellent boat ride

I loved the Classic Harbor Line! Seeing New York by boat offers a completely different and fascinating perspective. We passed very close to the Statue of Liberty, ensuring amazing photos. I chose the option with brunch, which lasts almost three hours, and was very worth it. The boat is all closed, so there is no worry of wind or cold. I recommend!

What a wonderful way to see Manhattan and the surrounding areas! We absolutely enjoyed this boat cruise. The staff was great, the food and drinks were great, and the view was incredible! Would absolutely do this again, and enjoyed every minute of it! Might not be great for young children, but teens and up - It’s perfect.

Endless and delicious food served buffet style. Staff couldn’t do enough for you. Boat was clean and done up gorgeous for the holidays. Only down was that it poured! so we really didn’t get to enjoy or see the landmarks ( the windows got a little foggy ) and the water was indeed choppy.
Festive brunch

Absolutely wonderful experience . For a 3 course meal + scenery the price is great! The food served was very tasty and satisfying. The staff was very kind and helpful even took a few pictures when asked. The Statue of Liberty was the highlight of the trip . I would prob enjoy the cruise more later in the summer when outside is mostly hot and you’ll be able to actually go outside and look around more .But since it’s spring it’s still very chilling and breezy outside on the water. But overall service ,price ,getting there everything was just 100!
Wonderful perspective of the city

We enjoyed our time on the water. Great perspective of the city. Brunch was good. Staff were friendly and helpful. Clean boat. The PA system was not functioning well, so we really couldn't hear anything being said - which was a little disappointing, since we are not familiar with the area and often didn't really know what we were looking at. But it was a beautiful day and fun trip.
