The view from the cruise are definitely stunning, even from indoors on a freezing cold day. However, going on the 2.5 cruise we wanted to enjoy the commentary teeming us what we were looking at and all the interesting facts about what we were seeing. Unfortunately it is very difficult to hear the tannoy throughout the ship meaning that for apart from the obvious highlights a lot of the time was somewhat boring not understanding what we could see. A great idea but needs better sound in all parts ...I heard the commentary the best in the toilets but couldn't see the corresponding view !!! Wish we had done the shorter cruise.

Our tour guide, Chris, very knowledgeable and amusing. Seats not very comfortable but it's only for 2.5 hours and the boat is very roomy.

At first. Trough ice conditions it didn’t do all around Manhattan cruise. If you are visiting NYC at winter and want to take this cruise please remember that they might turn around on the half way. Prices in bar/cafeteria are high. Cup of ordinary coffee costs 4$, sandwich 14$, salad 14$ and muffins 4$. Also pictures what they make before you board are expensive. Bigger photo is 30$ and smaller fridge magnet 25$. Stuff is friendly. And half or full ring around Manhattan, you will see a lot of beautiful views and you will take lots of pictures.
