Premium Cruise Experience - We'd pre-booked the "Bright Lights" cruise in advance but a few weeks before our booking date, we were contacted directly by the supplier to inform us that our cruise had been changed to an "Evening Jazz Cruise". We were given the option to change if this didn't suit us but we were happy to go ahead with the Jazz Cruise.
This was the 3rd time I've been on a Classic Harbour Line cruise and the first time for my 2 friends. It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. The boat is spacious, clean and comfortable. You are assigned your own table for your group. The staff are all super friendly and helpful. The service is exceptional. You get 1 drink included with your ticket and can purchase more from the on-board bar.
The jazz band was very good and provided a lovely atmosphere as we cruised the river and took in the beautiful NYC skyline all lit up at night. The highlight as always being the close up photo opportunities you get of the statue of liberty.
I cannot recommend this cruise highly enough. Classic Harbour line provide a premium cruise experience that is a must try for all visitors to NYC.

Fun Boat ride in NYC - Very romantic. Great to do in the summer when the weather is good. The lights are bright in NYC and make for great backdrops for pictures. Even goes near the Statue of Liberty.

Daughter's 17th b'day... - Daughter's 17th b'day nice semi private experience as it was not crowded. Nice comfortable seating with great views. We were able to move in and outside for photo opps at will with no delay or interference. Very nice experience!

Gorgeous NYC night time tour - Amazing harbor tour of the lights of NYC at night!!! We booked last minute with no issues and loved every minute! Being up close and personal with the Statue of Liberty on this boat tour was overwhelmingly surreal! But the whole thing was great!! I’d do it again and again!

Would recommend - Service was excellent. Expected a beautiful skyline, and it did not disappoint. But, Lady Liberty and Ellis Island at night are beautiful. Did not expect that.

An unforgettable experience ! - My wife and I had booked the City Lights Cruise on Yacht Manhattan as part of our vacation trip to NYC and took part in it that week. It was an incredible experience to be able to see the many highlights of NYC at night from the Hudson and East River. One of the most memorable moments was when the yacht was calmly positioned in front of the beautifully illuminated Statue of Liberty. The crew on board were just as inspiring as the trip itself. All the team members were professional, friendly, helpful and very courteous. This cruise was one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommended and we will book it again on our next visit!

Fantastic Experience - This is one of our favourite things to do whenever we visit NYC. The boat is very nice and comfortable and the staff are extremely friendly and attentive.
The views of NYC from the boat are spectacular - in particular the view you get of the Statue of Liberty lit up at night.
You are assigned your own table / booth and get a free drink included with your ticket.
Overall, this is a wonderful experience and a great way to see NYC from the water in a more relaxed and stylish way than the other large touristy vessels.
