Classic Line is a great operator to select if you want to cruise around New York !
Yes, they are a bit more expensive than many others but you will have a more pleasant, less rushed and less crowded experience, on board of very nice yachts. The ships are very comfortable (even cosy !) and you can sit/stand either inside or outside. On the day of our cruise it was rainy and cold but we still enjoyed our tour from the comfort of the back deck, sheltered but with glass windows all around.
We took the short tour (90 minutes) cruising around the Manhattan skyline and around Statue of Liberty because of the so-so weather.
But on a better day we would probably pick a longer tour, maybe including the brunch or in the evening with the beautiful night skyline, and after this first experience we believe that any tour those guys organise should be great.
We enjoyed our tour, the crew was very nice, there are helpful and interesting comments made during the tour.
The pier as well as the Classic Line booth are easy to locate.
All in all a very good cruise, and we're happy we chose those guys over the more "mass" package tour options.
NB : the tour is great for couples, families, small parties of friends, or even in solo. We believe it is rather safe for small children, especially if you stay inside. But of course parents must always watch out !!!
Should you need to go with business associates or clients, I believe this is also a suitable option due to the limited number of passenger they put on board, and the comfortable setup.
Drinks and light food are available on board.
