Spectacular sights of Lady Liberty and NYC skyline - The crew onboard Manhattan II were friendly and wonderful. The hospitality was well worth going with this sightseeing tour. The interior of the ship was beautiful and comfortable. The sights were awesome. We were able to get a close up view of Statue of Liberty. We went under the Brooklyn and Williamsburg bridges. The different view of these sights and New York skyline was spectacular. We plan on doing this tour again when we bring a friend along to NYC on our next visit. 🙂

Hudson River Cruise to the Statue of Liberty - My daughter and I and her best friend went to NYC for my birthday. Even though it was cold and rainy we had a fabulous time on this adventure. It was such a unique experience seeing the Statue of Liberty so close and the skyline of the city. I would highly recommend this tour. The staff was phenomenal. There was only about 20 people on board which made it even more pleasant. I would do this tour again

First time to NYC couple cruise - Awesome experience! This is well worth the money. The cruise is for a smaller group about 30-40 people. You are assigned a table inside, perrfect for couples or family. The windows slide open for pictures and the front of the boat is open for picture opportunities. Complimentary beverage and the cookies were a nice touch. The staff was amazing.
