horrible experience. the night was cold. i spent money on the tour, i spent money getting there, and when i got there, the tour wasn't going to take place, and i wasn't told. i wasted my time that night, when i could have planned something else to do. i was reimbursed for the tour, but i was not reimbursed for the transportation i spent for nothing, and even worse, i was not reimbursed for the extreme frustration and waste of time i had that night. i have not been given an objective and direct answer as to whether or not i will be reimbursed and financially compensated for all the inconvenience. i could have organized something different, but all i had to do was go back to the hotel and sleep.

I didn't like it, I bought a ticket and unfortunately I ended up putting the wrong date, and at the same moment that I saw it I asked for support which was denied informing me that it was no longer possible to change the date or cancel. Unfortunately I am still in Brazil and will only be in NY on Tuesday 07/01 and so I asked for a refund or change of date ...but it was denied, then I was told that only a refund would credit 25% of the amount, but I still haven't received this refund, and I had to buy another ticket again. I look forward to hearing from you

The boat ride itself is nice, but we culdn´t go round Manhattan (due to "low waterlevel"??) The guide Andy (with the grey ponytail) loves to hear his own voice. Thats for sure. He told us not to be shy and ask questions. It was quite obvious though that he wasnt really interested in peoples question, disturbing his stories. We asked him to tell more about NY:s water tanks, (he mentioned them for 1 minute), the oyster project in harbour etc and I also asked him speak more slowly and articulated, but he answered that he has to keep up with the speed of he boat.....then he told several quite uninteresting and long boring stories , when he was born etc instead of answering questions that people asked. It would have been interesting to hear about oyster projetc for example, a couple of minutes info would have been suficcent, and we asked ourselves how he couldn´t make time for that. Especillay as there were quite long pauses when he did not say anyting.No thanks. He was arrogant and has been on this job too long and it seems that he cant change his jargon.

It was seamless using the ticketing platform and for entry into the ferry rides. Hoped for clear directions to the starting point upon drop off as signs were not readily present.

I highly recommend.The ferry ride allows you to see Manhattan from a new angle. Ellis island is a discovery and you can make your own genealogical certificate. The Statue of Liberty is mighty and beautiful, to be mmiraded and known. BANKSY is a true and sincere artist and has fought for the right of expression because art is of all and for.all. the.mueso is a stone's throw from Little Italy and China town

A unique New York experience

NYC cruises offer an extraordinary way to take in the sights and skyline of the city from a unique vantage point. Spot the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and the Brooklyn Bridge from the water giving you a different perspective than from land.

One-of-a-kind photo opportunities

These cruises take you remarkably close to famous New York attractions, making for great photo opportunities of the landmarks along with the Hudson River line.

Step away from city life

Lay back, listen to the water splashing against your cruise boat and forget about the hustle and bustle of New York’s crowded streets on your cruise experience. Take in the sights of New York from your comfortable cruise.

Dine with a view

Opt for a brunch, lunch, or dinner cruise and devour a scrumptious spread of entrées, salads including watermelon & feta, and delicious desserts like Tres Leches. If you’re in the mood to party, choose the tour with free-flowing mimosas and kickstart New York nightlife early!

Variety of options

Whether you're on a tight schedule or have specific preferences, there’s a cruise option for everyone, such as the 60-minute Lady Liberty Cruise for those who want to see the Statue of Liberty or the luxury New York Bateaux Lunch Cruise for a more upscale experience.

Celebrate your special occasions

Whether it's a romantic dinner for your anniversary or a loved one’s birthday lunch, celebrating these occasions on an NYC cruise makes them all the more special and memorable.

Things to know before booking your cruise tickets

  • Limited time or first-time visitors: If you're on a time crunch or visiting New York for the first time, a sightseeing cruise is your best option. These cruises take you close to all the iconic landmarks in one go, with 60 and 90-minute cruise options.
  • Special occasions or relaxation: Celebrating a special occasion or just looking to unwind after a long week? Consider the dining cruises or the Harbor Lights evening cruise.
  • Looking for something upscale?: The luxury lunch/brunch/dinner cruise glides through the harbor aboard a sleek, state-of-the-art ship featuring floor-to-ceiling glass windows, creating an elegant ambiance. Indulge in superior amenities and à la carte dining, a step above the buffet and fixed menu offered on regular dining cruises.
  • Family-friendly considerations: Kids under 6 are not allowed on the Happy Hour Party Cruise and the Luxury Brunch, Lunch, or Dinner Harbor Cruise. If you're traveling with family, consider sightseeing cruises or the regular  dining cruise with a buffet.

    -Pier 15 (South New York): Ideal if you plan to visit nearby attractions like One World Trade Center, Brooklyn Bridge, and the Jewish Heritage Museum.
