Fantastic way to see the new York skyline at night and sail past the lady herself in all her glory while enjoying carols hot chocolate and more . We all loved this and left feeling very Christmassy !

Outstanding! Great w kids! The music, drinks, cookies, all was great but wish they had gluten free cookies!
We enjoyed the Christmas cocoa cruise , the boat trip was brilliant the staff were really lovely and the singer and the band were fantastic , it was lovely and Christmassy , the sights were amazing ,my only slight criticism that the Christmas songs they sang which were brilliant but most the children didn’t know them I think for family Christmas trips like this it would of been better to have songs the children could song to , would definitely go again 😁
The cruise was fantastic, the crew was great. BUT, felt the jazz ensemble was just having a "jam session". Views of the city were great- seeing the Statue of Liberty up close is not to be missed. But, the jazz group was a BUST.
What a fun experience and unique way to see NYC! The staff was wonderful and we especially loved the music. The cookies and beverages were a fun touch and seeing the sunset and day turn to night was a magical way to start our NYC trip.
Really enjoyable cruise! Jazz combo was great! Delicious hot cocoa and beautiful skyline views and the statue of liberty.
Amazing boat ride. The music was incredible and so relaxing. We had an amazing view of the skyline and Statue of Liberty! Great experience!
The music on this cruise is surprisingly good; real jazz aces. And the service stellar as always. A delight. We are regular sailors with Classic, and this time had the joy of taking our niece, who was home from college. Highly recommend those cruises that go from day to night. Skyline comes alive, and sunset behind Lady Liberty.
We enjoyed this experience even more than we thought we would as my husband was a little unsure about it from the title. The yacht was very nice with a smooth ride, comfortable seating and festive decor. There was a bathroom downstairs. The drinks were well-made, service was excellent and the live Christmas music was pleasant and not overdone. I would recommend booking a window seat for a better view as you go right by the Statue of Liberty and a few other landmarks. We did the 6pm tour in mid-December so it was cool to see all the lights at night. I would also recommend bringing cash to tip the staff.
This was a very enjoyable experience!!! The band was great, staff was friendly and the views were phenomenal!!! Rate 10/10 and would definitely recommend !
The band was excellent! Staff were wonderful-Decorations festive My family really enjoyed the cruise! Highly recommend
Great views of the city on this cruise! Musicians and crew were great! Fun & entertaining for families
Loved the view, music, atmosphere and staff. Highly recommend for family, couples or anyone. It was amazing.
The views are magnificent. Excellent service. I’ve never seen the Statue of Liberty so close up. Highly recommend.
First time with Harbor Cruise Line, the most magical Christmas experience! My family and I truly enjoyed this while in NYC!
Fantastic way to see the Statue of Liberty. Music was sensational. Really chilled. Cocktails were also delicious
It was interesting but not worth the money and wouldn’t do it again. Yacht was nice and clean. But the ‘free’ cocoa and cookies were not good. Musicians were good but singer was not. So made it hard to enjoy the ambiance. Couldn’t really see the skyline because the windows were so dirty. Staff was friendly enough but they made sure to tell you they expected tips. So just okay; the cost didn’t match the experience.
This cruise was way more then expected. The quality of everything was top notch! The music was festive and lovely. The singer had a beautiful voice! The wait staff that included Natalie, Grant, and Maya were very friendly and attentive. The hot chocolate was so delicious, had a little spice that tasted wonderful and I requested a little rum… perfect! Captain Tim took us on a safe and enjoyable ride that was not too bumpy. This event by far exceeded our expectations!!! DO IT… you will be so happy you did!
Fun, festive cruise. Loved seeing the city skyline and the Statue of Liberty at night! Beautiful! Nice to listen to the band sing Christmas carols while looking at the amazing night skyline of the city!
Great Christmas atmosphere. We really enjoyed the Christmas music, cookies, and hot cocoa! The boat staff was super friendly.
Lovely tour. Weather was very chilly but boat was super cozy, and staff top notch. Highly recommend.
We had a wonderful time singing along and enjoying a warm cozy Christmas atmosphere. Staff and entertainment were wonderful. Comfortable tables with a perfect view of the bridges and the Statue of Liberty. Great photos. The "homemade" Christmas cookies were really homemade. At least they tasted like it. Really yummy. I would recommend this adventure to anyone in the city of the holidays!!
Great time! We celebrated our birthdays and the band even sang to us! I highly recommend the tour. Seeing the Statue of Liberty at night up close was great. Live band was really really good. Merry Christmas 🎄 Phil and Jean
So worth the money, crew was really nice and close knit. Loved the cozy environment and personal experience. Seriously can’t recommend this enough!
Xmas vibes rocking on this one, great 4 piece band, service excellent, cocoa could have been hot instead of warm.
Awesome experience, great service, great music, perfect view of the Statue of Liberty and the perfect Christmas spirit!
What a fantastic trip round the Hudson Bay with wonderful Christmas music, cookies, drinks and really great service, the crew also went round taking photos for everyone. Great fun and highly recommend, the night views of the city are amazing
Excellent time! The yacht was clean & boarding was smooth. Musicians provided great fun! All 8 of us had a wonderful evening.
It was nice, music was good. Cookies were stale. You get one complimentary drink. Boat was nice. Live band was great.
The cruise was nice. The band was great! See the statue of liberty up close either the sun setting then at dark was moving
DO NOT MISS THE COCOA AND CAROLS CRUISE! You get to see all the NYC night sights but from the warmth and comfort of a beautifully festive decorated boat! The complimentary hot cocoa was out of this world! This is a must do for family, friends, date night, anything!
4 girlfriends agreed this was the highlight of our NYC TRIP this Christmas! Get your tickets early- it’s worth every penny!! 🛥️🎄🧑🏻🎄
We came from Scotland and this boat trip was a highlight of our visit! So much fun and the crew (and cocktails) were just fab! We had fabulous views along the Hudson and we got so close to the Statue of Liberty! Would recommend to anyone looking for a Christmassy experience!
We had a great time. Great music, drinks and snacks. Perfect view of Statue of Liberty. Highly recommend!! Mother daughter trip.
My husband and I have been on the Jazz Cruise before, and this weekend we took our in-laws on the holiday tour for their first trip to NYC. It was absolutely incredible — the music, the service, the team, the views. Everything was perfect. I’d recommend it to anyone visiting New York, whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth. Truly an unforgettable experience.
First time to NYC and came across this Cocoa & Carols Cruise. Thought it looked good so we purchased it about a month in advance. It exceeded all our expectations. The crew was great. The band was phenomenal. And the views, oh the views, incredible. Would definitely do again if we make it back up here.
Super fun experience, the staff is really nice and it would be a fun experience to do at anytime with anyone.
Cute experience. Good time for young and old. The band was great! Staff was Wonderful and the views were beautiful
This cruise was part of family trip to NYC for the holidays and we were so happy we chose this activity . Based on everything I read , it seemed like a good idea but it definitely exceeded all of my expectations. It was just such a rich and beautiful experience. The decorations, service, music, hot chocolate, cookies, and sights were all A++!!!!!
The cruise was the highlight of our quick trip to NYC. I scheduled the 4:30pm trip and have absolutely no regrets. We observed a gorgeous sunset surrounding “Lady Liberty” and a beautiful moon rising over Manhattan as we returned to the pier. The music was lovely, and the employees could not have been nicer! If you have an opportunity to book this adventure, do it!
The whole experience was amazing. The singer and the band were talented and added fun and humor to their performance. The captain and the staff were attentive and helpful. For our first night in NYC this was the perfect way to get into the Christmas spirit and see the city from a unique view along with the Statue of Liberty and bridges.
Relaxing cruise with wonderful musical entertainment. Fantastic vocalist and guitar and bass players performing all the Christmas classics! Crew was very attentive and drinks and snacks were top notch.
The cruise was really fun with delicious drinks, cookies, and truffles. The crew were so friendly and accommodating, and the singer and musicians were a wonderful addition.
The crew and band were EXCEPTIONAL. This was the best experience for a ferry ride and the entertainment. I cannot recommend this enough!
Enthusiastic crew and band, excellent condition boat with way comfortable seating, great cocktails and spectacular views, will report in the warmer months. Don’t hesitate to book!
Beautiful Views, Tasty Hot cocoa, and a lovely band. We went for the evening cruise, 6pm I think. We were greeted with a comfy seat and cookies. Cruising by the lit up Stature of Liberty was breathtaking!
Exceeded expectations! This was a wonderful holiday cruise that I can’t stop talking about. The band was fantastic! We are looking to see where else they play. The atmosphere was cheerful and jolly. The speed of the boat and views were incredible. Must do!
We LOVED this trip. It was so cosy and a great way to see the city, Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn bridge and more while being warm and treated to wonderful drinks and delightful music from the jazz band. It was lovely that there wasn’t too many people on board so made it very relaxing . Would thoroughly recommend this trip to anyone !!!
The holiday cruise experience was impressive and entertaining! Once in a lifetime experience everyone should opt for ! Everything from timing, food, service, music and cleanliness and hygiene was top notch and the views were a billion dollars worth ! Who and how would anyone think that holidays can be cherished for as long as you live and thanks to cocoa and carols ! I will be going back next year for sure ! Thank you Viator and classic harbor line for offering wonderful holiday experience and memories !
It was very nice cruise. The band was great. The view was awesome. We all enjoyed our trip and had a good time.
