Statue of Liberty Bateaux Lunch Cruise

After a stressful first day in New York due to Viator's awful service with another booking, me and my daughter were really looking forward to this trip. We arrived an hour before we were due to set sail and went to check in, the ladies at the booking office said that they had no record of our booking with Viator being transferred to them, despite us booking this trip back in October 2017. They told us that they had no room to accommodate us. I told them that we could not do the trip another day due to our tight schedule, we were then told that they could fit us on however continually made the point that they were full. We were squeezed into a corner of the boat and completely ignored for most of the time due to the limited staff on board. We felt like an inconvenience. The whole experience was completely overshadowed by yet more stress caused by Viator. Would not recommend due to such a negative experience with Viator and their poor communication with the organisers of the boat trip, AVOID!

Too short! Food was delicious and better than what we expected, and the entire experiece was truly fun and well organized. I went in a Group of eight but would go back also as a couple for dinner

This tour was recommended from Eric's New York app and he was spot on. It was a delightful 2 hours. The tour went from Chelsea Pier up to the Brooklyn Bridge then back via the Statue of Liberty and very close it was too. Very rousing music was played at the time which was not only appropriate but also made me quite emotional. We were met by a line of waiters to greet us. They all had a name badge and where they were from and they were all excellent. The food was delicious. A talented pianist and singer played requests and also gave us information of what we were passing by. There is an extensive drinks menu - my 2 bellinis were very good. The boat has windows to the ceiling so whether sitting by the window or further in, the views were good and there was a viewing place outside of the boat for taking photos, although, on the day we went it was freezing! There is also an evening cruise with the same boat. All in all, a trip worth taking. It returns to Chelsea Pier which is then convenient for the Highline which is probably a better walk in the summer with the plants in full bloom.

This was a most enjoyable experience. The boat was very stable in the water, the meal was excellent and cooked aboard the boat, and the service was wonderful. Although the sky was overcast and the wind blew constantly, we were still able to get great views and pictures of the lower Manhattan skyline and the Statue of Liberty. I would highly recommend this event.

The 3 hours tour was only 2 with a lunch too simple for the price and without any option. The ship is good with a Nice staff. The pack is enough, only compensated by the excelent view

This is a must do. Beautiful setting good food and great views of New York by night. Great service nothing too much bother. Fantastic views of The Statue of Liberty, This trip on the River takes in nearly everything you want to see in New York but in a relaxing setting all to music which was also very good. Can't say anything negative about this you will love it. It was my husband 60th birthday and a treat for him he was in awe of the whole trip.

Lovely, we had a great time, the food and the service was excellent.

The food was tasty and the running commentary was necessary when it could be heard over the din. Unfortunately, I was under the impression that we would circle Manhattan. However, good trip.

Excellent, good timing in everything, great music the piano men plays with good emotion and style, great food and service and thank God perfect Climate!!! Thank you Kat...:

We just got back from nyc and did the Liberty lunch cruise. They staff were very friendly and pleasant but I feel they were understaffed. The boat was half full and we were all placed on one side of the boat .The A/C was not working and most of the passengers seemed uncomfortable while inside . It was beautiful when we went on the deck . The staff were great helping us take pictures and offering drinks. The narration was difficult to hear while outside . Apparently we could have preordered children's meals for our children but it was not available on the viator site. I would call ahead if you have children.
