Lovely experiences

It was lovely to be on the water and see the city from a different prospective. The weather was perfect- the sun was shining and there was a light breeze. Our boat wasn’t crowded, but we met some very nice people along the way. We had such a nice time- we’ll be back!

Nice trip.

I liked that it wasn't a big group of people. There was plenty of space to sit- indoors and outdoors. I felt very safe. Lady Liberty was beautiful.

Two thumbs up

This is a beautiful heated ship. Totally comfortable with lots of seating. Great staff- providing some points of interest without narrating the entire trip. This was a bucket list item and now we want to go back for another cruise!

We had a group of 16 and it was an absolutely fantastic team outing! The check-in/boarding process was smooth and we had the whole back section to ourselves with great service. Couldn’t have asked for a better team outing!

A Perfect Evening on the Hudson

I had a wonderful experience with Classic Harbor Line. The cruise offered breathtaking views of New York City, with a smooth and comfortable ride that made the evening truly special. The staff was exceptionally attentive and courteous, always ensuring that every guest felt welcome and well taken care of. The appetizers were delicious, and the drinks served on board complemented the atmosphere perfectly. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the city — it’s an elegant and memorable way to enjoy the skyline from the water.

Highly recommend!

Would highly recommend this experience, especially for couples! The boat itself was incredibly beautiful, and the views were even more beautiful of the city skyline, statue of liberty, and brooklyn bridge. The boat had a full bar (1 complimentary drink included of your choice, including seasonal cocktails!) and charcuterie to snack on. The tour guides were great in sharing info/facts about the sights, but it did not at all feel like a history lesson (which was much preferred for me!)

Scenic Sunset Splendor!

The air was fresh, the Manhattan and Brooklyn skylines were interesting, and the sunset was picture perfect. Yacht was small and felt like we were rolling up and over the waves for a few minutes when starting out, but it was mostly smooth sailing. So far it was my favorite adventure in New York. It’s a relaxing way to see the statue of liberty.

A great time to sit and relax after a day of shopping. We enjoyed a charcuterie board with drinks and the best views. 2nd time to do this cruise and loved it both times!

Beautiful sunset cruise.

We had a beautiful evening on this gorgeous boat. I like the small group as apposed to the large crowd tours. Had the most beautiful sunset. The name of the boat was called "Full Moon"
