Full description

Take in New York City's iconic skyline on an evening boat cruise. Marvel at key landmarks, such as Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty, and the Empire State Building. Enjoy an all-you-can-eat dinner with unlimited non-alcoholic drinks and dance on the upper deck to tunes played by the live DJ.

Board the boat at Pier 36 and settle in before setting sail under the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges. Enjoy views of City Hall, the Woolworth Building, South Street Seaport, the Lower Manhattan Skyline, and Wall Street on your right, and the districts of Dumbo and Brooklyn Heights on your left.

Once at the southern tip of Manhattan, pass Governors Island and enjoy panoramic views of the whole of Lower Manhattan, dominated by the Freedom Tower, the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere. Step outside onto the boat's outdoor upper deck to take in these iconic views.

Then, head up the Hudson River with the State of New Jersey on one side and Midtown Manhattan on the other. Spot the Empire State Building and Hudson Yards. Next, pass Ellis Island and pause just off Liberty Island at the perfect place to take breathtaking photos of the Statue of Liberty.

During the cruise, enjoy a delicious 3-course buffet meal and some light tour narration to ensure you don't miss out on the key attractions. Listen to music played by the live DJ throughout the evening. Take a spin on the dancefloor on the outdoor section of the upper deck after your meal.

It was a great trip. Beautiful view of the skyline. The moon was gorgeous. Great stop at the Statue of Liberty for photos. DJ was great but a little loud. Food was well cooked and seasoned, standard American fare served buffet style. Overall a good value for all you get.

We took this mini cruise around Manhattan and it was very enjoyable. We left Pier 36 NYC at 7 pm, the perfect time to see the sunset on Wall Street and then go up the Hudson River until night. Going back and seeing the Statue of Liberty and Brooklyn Bridge at night is best! Dinner is decent

The A/C wasn’t working on the lower part of the ship the food was ok. I do think the drinks can be given in something better than a 8oz plastic cup for the price of an alcoholic beverage. But over all the upper deck and scenery was nice for pictures.
