This was such a fun and memorable cruise! Whilst cruising around the Hudson we were provided with a delicious buffet menu and served by lovely and attentive wait staff. Once the meal time was over the DJ spun a bunch of great tunes for the patrons to have a boogie! Great night!

One of the top 5 things to do in the city. Definitely recommend.

Mary_F, Jan 2025

This was definitely the most fun I’ve had in the city. Great atmosphere, fantastic tasting food and drinks. The waitress was on point, very attentive and friendly. I loved the name cards placed on the tables, and tasteful decorations. Going out to see the Statue of Liberty was great as we were super close and we even stopped long enough so everyone had a chance to get a picture with her. The DJ kept the party going while keeping people engaged. I would definitely love to do this again.

Great fun bad food

Maria_K, Jan 2025

This was really fun but if you are going for the food..that’s another story. It would have been perfect if the food was good.

Mother/Daughter trip

Trish_P, Jan 2025

Due to unforeseen...

Rosheeka_W, Dec 2024

Due to unforeseen circumstances i was not able to make it to my mother’s 50th birthday party that i booked for that night and i was told i could reschedule it then telling i’ll have to pay the difference in the next ticket which is insane.

What an experience!

Ruel_S, Dec 2024

I recently took my mum on a Viator tour to celebrate her 74th birthday, and I must say, I’ve never seen her so delighted. From start to finish, the experience was absolutely outstanding. The food was amazing, the DJ was on point, and our hostess, Antoinette, ensured we were thoroughly cared for. The tour surpassed all my expectations, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it or book again in the future. Well done to the team aboard the Spirit of New York!!

Great adventure

chacy_m, Dec 2024

An Evening Well Spent

kanessawilson, Dec 2024

Amazing cruise! The staff was fast and attentive. The options on the buffet were plentiful and the food was very good. The only thing I would say that my husband and I had an "issue" with was the drinks; they were weak. I ordered a LIIT and usually one can carry me through the evening but it tasted like regular soda. Our server Naomi was absolutely phenomenal. I would definitely do it again and recommend this excursion to others.

First class river cruise experience

From the time I got on...

Etroya_F, Dec 2024

From the time I got on the boat I felt the love from everyone greeting me from the outside, in!!! The manager was awesome and all of his staff was just so welcoming and friendly! I felt the love from each and every one of them from the servers, to the bartender! The accommodations, friendless, customer service, the smiles!! Truly an amazing experience, and I went alone,but I wasn't lonely. I will be bringing friends and family next time... truly amazing 👏 🤩

Lovely evening

lee_s, Dec 2024

Just a relaxed evening with good food and amazing sightseeing. Tim our server was superb and looked after us amazingly well.

A great experience

Malcolm_D, Dec 2024

Two and a half hours of night time sightseeing what a great experience as a first time visitor to NYC. The food was plentiful and varied and although a buffet it was not a mad rush. The ship’s crew were very friendly and made sure that we were enjoying the experience. Service was spot on.

Excellent night

Lisa_R, Dec 2024

Super Satisfied

Victor_F, Nov 2024

Everything was perfect. Great food, great views, great service and fun times. Would recommend to anyone and would do it again.

It was my mothers birthday

Yakeisha_C, Nov 2024

So the whole vibe was good I really enjoyed myself the drinks I would give 2stars the food was ok, my waitress was very pleasant 10 stars destiny extremely nice she did an awesome job I give five stars base off the vibe of the boat and my waitress. The worst part was the drinks either too much liquor or too much syrup or too much lime we ordered more than one and they all wasn’t very pleasant but the boat omg I had so much fun. The manager was awesome he made my mom feel so special he took her roses and a birthday cake such a good host.

Best Night in NY
