★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 377 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $149

NYC dinner cruise from Pier 36 with 5-course plated meal, live music, and iconic skyline views from Brooklyn Bridge to Statue of Liberty.

“There are very good tables along the windows but you have no control where you are assigned to sit and we got a cruddy middle obstructed view table. The live music is on the second deck (not main deck) and it is much nicer but no way to choose it. Food was not good. I would not recommend this for how much it costs.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 37 reviews · from $552

NYE 2025 harbor cruise: 3-hour open-bar buffet dinner, DJ party, reserved table, skyline views, and fireworks on the Hudson.

“-meals and drinks not very interesting, despite a fairly high price -servers a bit overwhelmed -very long start, about 45 minutes after the announced departure time -the circuit seemed truncated to us, we expected to go to the Hudson side of Manhattan, but we didn't go further than the Statue of Liberty. -return also strange, we returned to the departure dock (PIER15), and we stayed about 30 minutes opposite before docking, as if it was to use up the time planned for the cruise.. -too bad for these negative points, because the views of Brooklyn, Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty were very beautiful, as well as the fireworks for…”

“We had to wait outside in the dark prior to boarding; it was very cold. The boat did not have heat and we had to keep our coats on and it was still cold. The cold caused the windows to be foggy so visibility was poor. I do not recommend this event.”
