Very good way to see New York

The boat was clean and air conditioned. Overall, a very good way to see New York. The spaces were separated, which made the ride welcomed.

A must do brunch cruise

Christopher_W, Apr 2024

I’m writing this review 6 months after the cruise. The experience was fantastic. Boarding was simple enough, and the tables were divided up nicely. At the start of the cruise my friend and I were sharing a table with a family of 3 but since a group didn’t show up the captain came over and offered to let us take their table which was such a blessing. The food wasn’t my taste but was still good. I’m southern so I’m not used to this type of food. We do breakfast tacos and biscuits and gravy, not salmon bagels and frittatas. Anyway, the drinks were strong but tasty, the ride was as smooth as possible, the sight seeing was next level, and everyone was friendly. I’d recommend this brunch cruise to anyone and everyone, and if I come back to NYC in the future, this will definitely be on the itinerary.

Not worth the money, the food part

Andrea_S, Apr 2024

The cruise was nice because of the many buildings, Bridges’s, Statue of Liberty up close etc I saw. The non-alcoholic drink was good, so was the chicken sausage, croissant and desert but there should be more of it, the food seems European to me. They had no beacon, potatoes etc. Before you book the trip find out the breakfast that would be served. I did this cruise because of my experience in Washington, DC cruise the food was phenomenal. I paid about $500 in New York and it was not all you could eat buffet style ( only some items were buffet style) it was done In courses. I asked for a second serving of fruits and the main course and was told they will see if they have extra in the kitchen which they had. Again the food was not worth the $400++ almost $500 I paid for all 4 of us ladies.

A great way to see New York !

Kathy_S, Apr 2024

Fun festive cruise

Kathleen_B, Dec 2023

So much fun!! Took my parents on the holiday brunch cruise. Food was delish and the boat was so wonderfully decorated very cozy and comfortable. The staff was so attentive and took pics for us. Great views of the Statue of Liberty and the city. Would definitely recommend

The food was from around...

Geeth_G, Nov 2023

The food was from around New York, so delicious. The staff made the cruise fun and comfortable for everyone. They went above and beyond to make sure every guest was cared for. Standing outside can be cold, windy and wobbly but its totally worth it for the views. We got good enough pictures with the Statue of Liberty to not need another trip for it

Family outing

It was a wonderful way to spend the morning. Food was great, as was the service. Luckily, the weather was beautiful. My nephew was with us and he pointed out different points of interest.

Laid back, Enjoyable experience

Bradley_I, Sep 2023

Great experience. Staff attentive to every need and a close up view of lower Manhattan. Highly recommend.

Great!

EllenH, Sep 2023

This was an absolutely lovely long cruise that circumnavigated Manhattan. The classic boat was gorgeous. I appreciated the comfort of the seats, and there were even some extra pillows for lumbar support - a thoughtful touch. Clean, air conditioned, lovely restrooms too. The food was ample - great fruit, pastries, hot bagels and accompaniments, salad, frittata, sausage, potatoes, and sweets. The host was great - he narrated loudly and clearly about what to expect at the start of the cruise. If I had any wants it would be to call the tables up by number when they put the extra food items on the buffet table. Most was served family style by the staff, and this was efficient and appreciated. Overall this is a great thing to do in NYC. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Don’t Miss the Boat Pleasure on the Hudson

Ralph_T, Sep 2023

I can’t say enough good things about this Brunch Cruise. The service, the beautiful teakwood vessel, the different courses that were superbly spread out over 2 hours. The food was a pleasant surprise! I was skeptical about a brunch cruise. I had visions of McDonald quality food. Each course was marvelous, and presented beautifully. If you come to NYC, Don’t “Miss the Boat”

Beautiful view. Lovely...

gail_b, Aug 2023

Beautiful view. Lovely food. Staff was wonderful. Especially Jakub! Loved the experience and would recommend to all.

Great way to spend time in Manhattan

Cheri_B, May 2023

Great food; attentive, friendly service and a beautiful, clean ship. Embarked and disembarked precisely on time. Small enough passenger group to avoid "the mad dash" to the buffet for pastries, bagels and salad. Main course was plated, and delicious. We skipped the dessert course - only because we were too full to eat any more food. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Great NYC experience

John_H, May 2023

Good food great service great experience would recommend to anyone if they want to explore New York City
