The NY Premier Dinner Cruise was an excellent experience and I will highly recommend it to family and friends. I'd say that this cruise gives you some of NYC's best views from the water and I loved it. The staff was very courteous, the service was good and to top it all, the band on board was the best. They kept the crowd entertained from the minute they started playing and till the end. Nothing about the cruise felt rushed, we did the 7PM cruise and the views were splendid. The food was good, a three course meal and good choices of drinks to pick from too. I highly recommend this experience.

A lovely evening
Scott_S, Jun 2023
A lovely evening cruise of the Manhattan shore/skyline. Good food and drink. The views, service and entertainment were excellent.
Perfect for all occasions!
Madison_R, Jun 2023
Had a wonderful time on this cruise! Late spring/early summer is perfect as you get to catch the sunset on the water. The staff was so friendly, the food was yummy, and the entertainers were top notch! I treated my boyfriend to this to celebrate his promotion, and everyone on board was having a good time - young and old.
Nice Evening

Crandell_W, Jun 2023
This dinner Cruise was amazing. The waitress that served me took my order, was friendly, she brought me everything I ordered & with a smile. I sat near a couple who was celebrating their 51 wedding anniversary so I was able to share in their special event. The captain spoke with me on more then one occasion. I had a fantastic time.

Extraordinary Evening
michael_k, May 2023
An exceptionally well planned event, friendly, polite staff. The food was delectable and on par with the evening. We where a group of three on a return home from a sailing vacation and our wardrobe was consistent as such. Get dresses up for this evening or don’t, you’ll feel like a million bucks.
beautiful way to see new york from the hudson

Congrats Tony to graduate NYU STERN Master's Degree, May 2023. Do you remember you lost your cap in front of the statue of liberty in 2009?
Great city views and music but that’s it.
Angela_P, May 2023
There were amazing views and the music was great but we were seated in the back away from the band and squeezed into an area that made it difficult for anyone to get by our table without knocking into something on the table. About a hour into the cruise they offered to let us move to a better table. They offer very limited food choices and weren’t able to serve one of the desserts. The food tasted good but for the price you pay there was very little of it. It was freezing cold almost the whole ride. They held us up from boarding, and took a long time (30 minutes) to get us drinks and bread. The bread was so hard you couldn’t eat it all And we didn’t get an appetizer until over an hour on the ship 9:15pm and dinner didn’t arrive until just after 10:00pm. We got dessert right before pulling back into port around 10:30ish.
A special treat
Valeiu_S, May 2023

Unique experience
Brad_M, May 2023
The cruise ship is outstanding due to the full surround glass windows and outside deck. The service was exceptional and the food was good. What makes this cruise are the outstanding views of the city, especially from the east river.

Tina_L, May 2023
We were expecting the experience to be more "intimate" for the cost, so we were a bit disappointed but the saving grace was how close we got to the Statue of Liberty and seeing her lit up at night.
Londoners in NYC

Cindy_P, Apr 2023
The host and waitress were superb. Band is awesome & views very nice to enjoy while eating the good that we had. I had the shrimp cocktail & Brie appetizers which were very tasty and the osso bucco as the main course
Good food great sights terrible service
John_V, Apr 2023
The food was excellent, the entertainment was excellent, and the sightseeing was unbelievable. However, the service was incredibly terrible. I was given the bill before I even received the final course. I received the final course as we docked. $1000+ dollars for three people I can’t believe the way to forgot about our food. What seemed like a couple of times. I understand there was a wait time between each course however, our wait time was extremely long and we felt like we were totally forgotten. Which was evident when I asked the waiter where our final cost was after receiving the bill. He stated, “oh” “yeah”.
Beautiful
Sylvia_D, Apr 2023

Josias_N, Apr 2023
