I never leave reviews, but I definitely feel like I should leave one for this. I purchased tickets for a 90 min ride around the statue for my son and I during his holiday leave. 4:30 pm on NYE. We weren’t sure what to expect but it was absolutely beautiful! The sun was setting, so going out we had nice light for pictures, coming back we got beautiful night shots! The boat is small and very intimate, and beautifully decorated for the holiday! It definitely felt like they took time and effort to make it feel special. The inside of the boat was very comfortably heated so that was wonderful! The best part in my opinion though was the staff! The guys working our tour were all incredibly welcoming! They all seemed happy to help, to take pictures for anyone, answer any questions or just chat for a minute! IMO interaction with staff can make or break any experience, and they definitely made it special! I would recommend them to everyone, and would absolutely go again in the future just because it’s such a beautiful experience!

I had an amazing time on the Classic Harbor Line cruise in NYC. The boat was clean, comfortable, and not overcrowded, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and special. The crew was friendly and professional, especially with young children on the Carols & Cocoa Cruise we chose. The views of the skyline, the Statue of Liberty, and the bridges were incredible—perfect for photos. I also really appreciated the smooth boarding process and the overall organization; everything felt well run. If you’re looking for a scenic and memorable way to see New York City from the water, I definitely recommend this cruise.

We ended our NYC Christmas trip with the Cocoa & Lights Cruise from Classic Harbor Line, and it was truly the perfect finale. The whole experience was beyond amazing. Seeing the New York City skyline completely lit up at night felt magical, and getting to glide right under the Brooklyn Bridge and so close to the Statue of Liberty made the night unforgettable. The views were breathtaking from start to finish. The staff made the experience even better—Grant, Natalie, and Captain Mack were all incredible. They were friendly, welcoming, and went above and beyond. Even though it was cold and windy outside, they came out from the warm cabin to take photos for anyone braving the weather to soak in the views. It was such a thoughtful touch that made the night even more special. The warm cocoa, cozy lights, and festive atmosphere created the perfect holiday vibe. If you’re visiting NYC during the Christmas season, this cruise is absolutely a must-do. Highly recommend—we loved every minute!

WOW—what a sweet experience! I saw the fall foliage cruise advertised on TikTok and I immediately knew we had to do this. It was such a peaceful ride with great views of the city and foliage. It was truly the slower pace and relaxation I was craving after being go-go-go most of the trip. The crew was friendly and the service left us well taken care of. The fall cocktail drinks were delish! I only wish it was longer than 2 hours! 5 stars all around ⭐️ Just book it!!!

The Fall Foliage Brunch Cruise with Classic Harbor Line was such a great experience—relaxing, scenic, and beautifully organized. The crew was friendly and professional, and the narrated tour was both fun and educational. I really enjoyed learning interesting facts about the landmark buildings, the terrain, and the local history along the Hudson while taking in the changing leaves and crisp autumn air. The brunch itself was delicious and plentiful, with more than enough food to enjoy throughout the cruise. The atmosphere was cozy and elegant without feeling stuffy, making it perfect for a solo outing or a small group. I’m already planning to bring friends next time so they can share in the experience, and I’ve been telling everyone to look it up—it’s definitely worth it!
