Festive brunch

Nichole_H, Nov 2022

Awesome staff, great food and drinks . The views are amazing. The boat is clean and festive. Great addition to your New York Christmas experience.

Ripped us off and fobbed us off with a crappy version

Thomas_E, Dec 2019

So we booked the brunch cruise. Arrived at 9.55 boat was leaving as we got there so they said nothing they could do. Put us on the evening carols and cocoa cruise was pathetic effort of cookies and didn’t even get cocoa. Total waste of money. Only bonus was a good view of the Statue of Liberty

Fantastic Way to Spend the Morning

Had a brilliant time on the Holiday Brunch Cruise. The food was lovely all four courses had something for everyone, which was good as I'm vegetarian . The boat was decorated lovely and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. The views were amazing we were lucky it was a clear sunny day and could go out into the deck, but even from inside the large windows meant you could see everything from the comfort of your seat. This was a fantastic way to Spend out last morning in New York.
