Do you want to end your day on a high note? If so, this is the cruise to book. We took the 7:30 PM Holiday Jazz Cruise and it was delightful ! Picture sitting inside a nicely appointed vessel with a glass of champagne or Spiked Hot Chocolate in hand while a jazz music plays Christmas tunes. But guess what, you are on the Hudson River and you look out the window and have some of the most amazing views ever. Camera in hand, you head outside to take some shot of the Manhattan Skyline. A great touch however, was while you are outside, they’d piped the jazz music outside on the deck so you can hear it ! Hats off to the captain/crew. While we were at the Statue of Liberty, they slowed down and took extra time so we could capture some amazing nighttime photos of the SOL and the skyline. I loved getting to meet new people who were seated at my table. I ordered an extra drink and the cost was not too high and it tasted great with the Christmas Cookies that you all provided. Thanks for giving me a memorable night – it was truly that.

Hello, We are very happy to hear of your overall experience with us out in NY Harbor aboard the Yacht Manhattan II. The views of the Manhattan Skyline, the up close and personal experience of the Statue of Liberty, the well maintained yacht and of course hearing that you were well taken care of by our crew. Thank you for choosing us and thank you for sharing your experience and recommending us to others. We hope to have you out with us again in the future, if not here in NYC then in one of our other locations (Boston, Newport, or Key West) Warmly, Classic Harbor Line

It was really wonderful. An absolute must for all Christmas fans. Music and cookies create the right atmosphere. The view of the skyline and the Statue of Liberty is really impressive. Definitely recommended.
