First time in New York and travelled there for New Year. Decided to give Time Square street party a miss and booked the cruise. OUTSTANDING is all we can say. Worth every penny, they were throwing alcohol at you and plenty to eat. Entertainment DJ was brilliant. Boat sailed and stopped at Statue of Liberty for fireworks display over New York at Midnight. Incredible, best experience ever. Highly recommended!

Brilliant refreshments and service. Superb service and timing of cruise to coincide with fireworks at 12 o'clock.

Despite freezing temperatures we had an excellent night - the staff were welcoming and got us in the party mood, queues at the bar were very small with plentiful top brand spirits and wine and champagne available all included in the price. Lots of hot canapes were readily available, the DJ was excellent, the views of the statue of liberty were stunning as were the fireworks at midnight. Queues for the bathroom were not at all long as previous reviews stated. This was an excellent and value for money experience - we were on out honeymoon and had a fabulous new year's eve. I recommend this event wholeheartedly.

Would highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting New York for New Year's Eve. Food and drink were plentiful, and the atmosphere on the boat was fantastic. The view of the fireworks with the lights of Manhattan in the background will stay in my memory. Brilliant value.

We had a fantastic night on board the New Years Eve cruise. Loved everything about the night - the party hats, the open bar never had to wait longer than a minute, the food, the music--some great songs were played--and the fireworks! Also we had gone expecting there to be awful lines for the bathroom having read the other reviews on here, we didn't encounter any problems at all, there were 5 women's toilets but we never waited longer than five minutes at the most! Overall a fantastic experience - I would do it again!

Amazing trip in the NYC harbour in the Hudson. It's a great way to see the fireworks in Times Square. Absolutely great. After the boat, I would make sure to have a taxi waiting at 1am. It's cold out there. We had a long walk for a cab.

The cruise was great, drink and food were plentiful and staff were very helpful. Very very very cold out on deck, but the disco and drinks kept everybody warm inside. No queues for the restrooms as in previous years' reviews. So would highly recommend and love to go again if ever in NY on New Year's again. Great way to see in the new year and avoid the crowds.

Absolutely loved it!! Crew was was wonderful and attentive. Food and drink selection great. Party favors and champagne toast were a fun touch. DJ played great music! Only criticism: we didn't know there were 3 boats. My party was meeting up with another party, and we got separated onto different boats before we realized it and then it was too late.

It was a really fun event. The food and alcohol were great, so was the DJ and space to dance. Only problem was not enough toilets. But I would go again!
