Laid back, Enjoyable experience

Bradley_I, Sept 2023

Great experience. Staff attentive to every need and a close up view of lower Manhattan. Highly recommend.

Great!

EllenH, Sept 2023

This was an absolutely lovely long cruise that circumnavigated Manhattan. The classic boat was gorgeous. I appreciated the comfort of the seats, and there were even some extra pillows for lumbar support - a thoughtful touch. Clean, air conditioned, lovely restrooms too. The food was ample - great fruit, pastries, hot bagels and accompaniments, salad, frittata, sausage, potatoes, and sweets. The host was great - he narrated loudly and clearly about what to expect at the start of the cruise. If I had any wants it would be to call the tables up by number when they put the extra food items on the buffet table. Most was served family style by the staff, and this was efficient and appreciated. Overall this is a great thing to do in NYC. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Don’t Miss the Boat Pleasure on the Hudson

Ralph_T, Sept 2023

I can’t say enough good things about this Brunch Cruise. The service, the beautiful teakwood vessel, the different courses that were superbly spread out over 2 hours. The food was a pleasant surprise! I was skeptical about a brunch cruise. I had visions of McDonald quality food. Each course was marvelous, and presented beautifully. If you come to NYC, Don’t “Miss the Boat”

Beautiful view. Lovely...

Great way to spend time in Manhattan

Cheri_B, May 2023

Great food; attentive, friendly service and a beautiful, clean ship. Embarked and disembarked precisely on time. Small enough passenger group to avoid "the mad dash" to the buffet for pastries, bagels and salad. Main course was plated, and delicious. We skipped the dessert course - only because we were too full to eat any more food. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Great NYC experience

John_H, May 2023

Birthday brunch

Around Manhattan

J_P, Apr 2023

Very attentive staff and brilliant food food. A drinks package should be offer via Viator. Was really relaxing.

A sunny morning on the Hudson is so worth it!

Emily_B, Apr 2023

We booked this brunch cruise with a group of 5 ladies on a bachelorette party and it was a blast! The crew were friendly and entertaining. The food was also very good. I ended up getting sea sick and the chef gave me a ginger chew to help and the crew intermittently checked on me. The other nice thing was that the boat was relatively small, making it feel like a semi-private experience with only a handful of other groups. I would recommend this cruise.

Disappointing experience

Gayliene_C, Mar 2023

We are very disappointed with the food. The cruise itself was a good experience. We enjoyed seeing the city from another perspective that everything about the food was disappointing.

Response from Host, July 2023

Hello, We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed by the food on your cruise and that this issue put a damper on an otherwise good experience. Please email Classic Harbor Line directly at caleb@classicharborline.com if you would like to provide additional feedback on the issues you had with the food so that we can work to make improvements based on your input. Warmly, Classic Harbor Line

Cozy and welcoming

Angela_L, Mar 2023

We went as a family with kids aged 10 and 13 for my husbands birthday. The kids were so surprised and impressed by the coziness of the interior. They were excited that it was a small group and not to overwhelming. It was a great mix of out-of-towners and New Yorkers (we were!) We just loved our cozy table and cushioned seating at the back of the boat. It was rainy at first but cleared up later and we still got great views. Staff were super friendly and warm, the vibe was very laid back. There was a lot more food than we expected. My kids raved about the bagels and sausage. Was a great way to see the city from a different perspective. Highly recommend.

Must do cruise

Martin_T, Dec 2022

Great trip really enjoyed it. The food was plentiful and really tasty. The staff were good. A word from one of the staff over the tannoy to let you know where you are on the map would have been helpful so you could track your progress. Would definitely go again throughly enjoyed it,

Nice staff, good food, great views

Peggy_M, May 2022

We enjoyed the smaller group setting on this boat. The plexiglass on the sides and top allowed for great views of NY's architecture. The staff was very friendly and the food was good. It was a perfect Mother's Day gift!

Manhattan Brunch Cruise

Jamie_A, Apr 2022

Experiencing the brunch cruise around Manhattan was a great experience. The boat was beautiful and had convenient transparent features that allowed for stunning views and a successful tour on the Hudson. The food was also great. There were 4 courses including one complimentary mimosa. There was more food than we had expected. Overall it was a beautiful day!
