This was such a fun and memorable cruise! Whilst cruising around the Hudson we were provided with a delicious buffet menu and served by lovely and attentive wait staff. Once the meal time was over the DJ spun a bunch of great tunes for the patrons to have a boogie! Great night!

The river cruise was excellent on so many levels. The food was great, the staff was friendly, and the path the ship cruised took us by so many great sites. We were able to see the sunset and later the lights from the New York City skyline at night during the cruise. We took the cruise in mid March so it was a little chilly up on the deck, but we were prepared for that. I would recommend the cruise to anyone wanting a unique way to experience the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge
Management was awesome....

Terrible experience!
Carrie_B, Mar 2024
When we arrived at the pier, we were informed that our ship wasn’t available due to a school using the ship. Then they tried to assign us a boat similar to a fishing boat. Definitely not the one displayed on their website. It was four of us paid over $800, We were very dissatisfied with the last minute changes. We received no notification of boats being switched. Also, we are visiting from SC . We are requesting a refund. Customer services says it’s going to take about 3 days to possibly receive refund. The weather was horrible! Cold and rainy , while we awaited an Uber back to our hotel.
Response from Host, Mar 2024

Fairoz_A, Mar 2024
Very fun time great food and 5 star service for sure. the views are great the cruise is clean huge and beautiful
Fantastic trip!
Jonathan_W, Mar 2024
This was a fantastic trip and well worth the money spent. The ship set off just after 6pm. Appetisers were ordered (you have to pay for these) - we spent around $20 sharing. Alcoholic drinks are not included but this is stated when sold. Cocktails cost around $20 each. Bottled lager £10. We travelled to the outskirts of Liberty Island, looped between Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan Bridge then headed back to Liberty island for photographs - great time to take more photos. This was absolutely stunning. Food was served about 30 minutes after setting sail. A good choice of food - pasta dish, Caribbean chicken, Jerk chicken and Salmon. There was a selection of deserts. The journey lasted around 3 hours. I would recommend.
Horrible they destroyed my mother birthday weekend
Yaniet_F, Feb 2024
