    Nice view of the Brooklyn Bridge while waiting for the cruise ship to arrive
    Ivy Y.

    This was definitely the way to see the Statue of Liberty. My husband and I had never been to NYC and we were only going to be there for one day (December 1) and we wanted to see the SoL but we'd heard it can take up half the day with the riding the ferry back and forth and going through security a few times, and walking all over the place, also I can't walk very far so it seemed like a bit much.... so this seemed more "doable" and it was! We were so happy! Nice to be able to sit inside in the warmth and have a beer but be warned they're expensive. But we had a great time and the staff was wonderful. Loved the tour guide's commentary over the PA system. The bathrooms on the boat were a bit gross, but it wasn't a big deal. I'd go again for sure.

    Wonderful experience with the Bubbles Beats and Brunch. It was a rainy so cruise was not crowded. Once boarded you seated family style table for 10 people. The unlimited mimosas starts the minute you are seated. Very good and strong. There's a Bloody Mary station at the bar, which I didn't try. On the table is basket full delicious donuts with a fresh fruit table with parfait in the middle of the boat. Once the table was full with all parties the chicken and waffles along with a cheese and vegetable frittatas. Everything was so delicious and fresh. Great portion size for everyone to enjoy. The unlimited mimosas was what topped the cruise the most.. amazing The DJ was excellent, great selections of the latest songs to dance to. Overall, great experience.

    The "Rock The Yacht" was this years excursion to celebrate my 34th Birthday. I'm a big fan of boat rides, and decided this would be a good choice. The boat is fairly priced, two hour boat ride throughout the city. The process of boarding was very easy, go through security, get a boarding pass and take your group and board. The top deck didn't have much space by the time we boarded-- so we made our way downstairs where they have a bunch of tables. Unfortunately, this area wasn't so great for an a group of 14 people; where had to sit at three different tables. However, my friend noticed a back area that was wide open, and perfect accommodation for a larger group. The experience otherwise was about a 3.5, I didn't think the DJ was so great and could have made better choices with music. The bartender was very friendly, however my friend had an issue with the other bartender. He told him they didn't have Ciroc aboard the boat, but my bartender had it, and we purchased several. He did explain it was because it was "premium" and not apart of the unlimited drinks package, which we understood, but didn't have an issue paying for. I believe the other bartender should have at least let that fact be known. Also, they should do a better job of controlling the line-- far too often, I would see people would send someone on the line for liquor, and then proceed "to joining them", once they were almost next up. Not a good idea to mix rudeness and alcohol, it's a bad combination. Lastly, I believe we left about 9:03, but in my estimation came back to the port by 10:45 or 10:50. So, it's a relatively short trip, but we definitely made the best of it. Overall, I did have a great time aboard the boat, but probably would not recommend this Hornblower cruise but would suggest the cruise from Pier 40, instead for a birthday. However, if just for a night out with your mate, this would suffice.

    What an amazing experience! When you go to the pier, a small desk will hand you a ticket and direct you to stand in a warehouse room with provided coffee. It's still outdoor with a cover, so it can be a little breezy. About 20 minutes before departure, you line up and enter the ship in the order of the line. So, show up early if you want a great window seat! Once in, you are encouraged to start dining at the breakfast buffet. There's a huge long table of desserts along with an omelette station and hot breakfast items and meat carving station. Get ready to relax and enjoy brunch and mimosa's. How did the food taste? Everything tasted good, about the same quality as a cruiseline or upscale cafeteria. Don't expect gourmet meals and service, but I'd say it's on par with a typical four star hotel brunch buffet. There's no prime rib, but there's some pork and turkey carvings. Really, I was too full that I did not end up trying everything. Plus, some of the food ran out by the last 20 minutes. So, get your eats early because I sensed some hoarding on the ship. Maybe they were worried we'd be stranded and foodless at the Status. Hah! The service is impeccable as the moment I attempted to pour my own mimosa, I was lightly scolded by our server. Bathrooms are located on deck and you can either stay on the top floor or go to the bottom for seating. The jazz band is on the top floor, so I definitely recommend coming early for best seats. The band also calls out birthdays, anniversaries and any other special occasion if you let your server know. Half way through the cruise, we went outside and took amazing photos of the statue of liberty along with the Manhattan and New Jersey skyline. It was an incredible experience and a special moment that will forever be in my mind! Even from inside, if you have a window seat you can easily look out and enjoy the amazing views. Book your tickets early online and come early for great seats!

    Unlimited booze and brunch cruise for $50. Pretty solid deal and you get to sail the lower tip of Manhattan and chill with an awesome DJ on the top deck. Boarding was simple and smooth. You get seated in a big round table. If you are booking with a group, have like 10 people for a table, or else you'll be sharing the table. Depending on who you sit with in your table, if it's strangers, it would break to ice to just say hi to everyone and say wassup, or else it would feel sort of awkward for those who are none social. You start with donuts and unlimited mimosas and bloody marys. The second comes the waffles and fried chicken and quiche with and without cheese. All you can eat and drink mimosas! You can add extra's like eggs and avocados to your tab for about $3 and some other extra top shelf liquor drinks for additional $. After you are done eating, you can hangout on the top deck where there are some side tables and booth with a live DJ mixing some good beats for you to dance away while also taking in the sights of lower Manhattan. You will pass by the Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan and Williamsburg bridge, and downtown Brooklyn Park. The final stop would be getting up and close to see the Statue of Liberty before boarding back on the pier 15 near seaport. Service was awesome and staff was super attentive. Although I left my table to hangout on the upper deck, the staff still managed to continuously refill my mimosa glass to keep me quenched. This would be a perfect venue to hold a birthday brunch party or just have something different than waiting in line at your usual brunch spots in the city.

    The Lady Liberty Lunch Cruise was so wonderful. i've spent the last week hosting a friend from the UK and she was very impressed with the experience. i was able to get a good deal via Groupon and there was no drama with them honoring it. The boat cruises by lower Manhattan all the way up to Chelsea, then makes a bee line towards Ellis Island, and of course, the Statue of Liberty. The views were great, and we got to take lots of pictures. On the way back to Pier 15, it goes under the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges, and those were nice views as well. All the while, good music was being played by the DJ on board - lots of the latest songs, but a few oldies too. i, my friend, and a few other people were visibly enjoying the tunes. The Lady Liberty Lunch Cruise also comes with a buffet lunch which was quite tasty, and vegetarian friendly. There wasn't a ton of options, but the food was cooked well. Additionally, the cruise crew provided great service throughout. Everything was supervised by a lovely gentleman named Gabriel who routinely, but not too often, made useful announcements about when it would be good to get up to the top deck to take pictures. Overall, i recommend the Hornblower Lady Liberty Lunch Cruise. Even though i'm a New Yawk native, i enjoyed the experience, but more importantly my guest had a great time. i had to make several calls to Hornblower to make the reservation as their automated system isn't great; but once i was able to speak to a real person, it was all good from there.

    Got the free promotion!

    We were looking for something to do on Saturday afternoon since the weather was nice so we decided to take the 1 hour harbor cruise to see the Statue of Liberty. I found a deal on Groupon for $12 tickets so it was a good bargain. We took the last cruise of the day at 4:00 and it was a little chilly on the water but I wanted to stay on the top deck to get good pictures. We passed all of the sights and I got some nice pics of Lady Liberty as well as Ellis Island, Brooklyn Bridge and the NYC skyline. They did have a comical tour guide providing some commentary on what we were passing and sharing some fun facts... all in all a nice quick trip around the harbor.

    Great cruise. Plenty of photo ops, lots of history of lower Manhattan is said on this hr long cruise . Fun. Would do it again.

    Hornblower offers a range of options that includes sightseeing, hop-on/hop-off sightseeing and several dining cruises. Private events can also be hosted here. We took the sightseeing cruise that gives a fantastic view of the NYC's top attractions such as Brooklyn bridge, Statue of liberty, Manhattan skyline and some more. Its an hour long cruise but could be about 1 1/2 to 2 hours covering check-in/out process depending on the time and number of passengers. When we checked in, the cruise was just about to start and people already boarded. So no lines for us and checkin was real quick..lucky us! We went to the top deck and took a seat indoors where we kept our stroller and diaper bag. When we rode through the attractions we just went out in the open deck. We were mostly in and out often since we were with a toddler. It was hard to keep our active toddler in the open area but good that he could stay in the closed indoors safely. They charge $30 per person for the sightseeing cruise, which is okay for tourists. However, since we are not exactly tourists yet we wanted to take the cruise, so I looked for Groupon deals. Alas, got a good Groupon deal that was $12 per person. Then theres also the Staten island ferry that is another option for sightseeing that too free of cost. But, while on the Hornblower cruise, I noticed the Staten island ferry which was so overcrowded. If you want a relaxing cruise and enjoy your ride then Hornblower is definitely the way to go.

    I thought the Hornblower cruise wasn't bad at all. The location of the boat was a little hard to find, but maybe we didn't listen at what the tour guide told us. I don't know. But it's located on Pier 15. (That's the one to the right when looking at the pier) Okay so we took one of the bus tours and it came with a free ticket to the cruise. When we got there the staff was sweet. They keep the bottom of the bus ticket. So the bus is unlimited rides for 2 days, but the cruise is only one ride. When they tare off your ticket you take a quick photo and proceed to the boat. The boat isn't very modern but it alright. They could use a little updating, but for he price I couldn't complain. The boat goes out and passes the statute of liberty, and you can see the the city as well. The boat ride wasn't long at all. Less than an hour. They sell snacks and drinks on the cruise as well. If you get the bus ride take advantage of the free cruise that comes with it.

    Didn't think I would be coming back to a cruise after the Yelp Holiday Hangover in Januaray but I did! Thanks for the promo, Hornblower Hybrid/yelp! Got my ticket online prior to boarding. I chose the "alive after five" cruise that departed at 6pm. Boarding was at 5:30pm. I got there right around 5:30pm because I didn't know how long the line would be. I thought I would be late considering the line at the yelp party. I was wrong! Nobody was in line at 5:30pm. Went to the main office (they have bathrooms there) and got my wristband. Headed to the boat at the end of the dock. There, red carpet welcoming its guests! Super fancy! I boarded shortly after 5:30pm and there were only a couple of people on board. The cruise seemed super empty after experiencing the craziness of the yelp holiday hangover. 10 minutes prior to 6pm, some groups of people started boarding. We departed at around 6:10pm and we had no more than 30 people on board. So priority boarding (extra $5) was not necessary for me. However, you may consider getting the priority boarding option during the summer time where I imagine it to be much busier. It was nice because it was not super crowded. Tables on the top floor were first come, first served. I believe tables on the middle floor and bottom floor can be reserved with a fee ($10?). When I checked-in, I was asked if I would like to upgrade to food/wine package. I declined. The food didn't look too interesting: some crackers, assorted fruits/cheese, pot-stickers, and some other finger food. I am glad I didn't opt for the $40 cruise & food package. My recommendation is to stuff yourself with dim sum or cheap Chinatown food prior to your cruise trip to avoid the $40. I like the fact that the boat is super new. Bathrooms on board are super clean. There are 4 bathrooms on the middle floor. I think it is a bit awkward how the bathrooms are located on both sides of its main dance floor. When I was on the cruise, this one staff Kyle was super nice to me. He was super friendly to other guests as well. He kept asking if anyone needed pictures taken or need any assistance. Thanks Kyle! $25 (cruise only) is definitely worth the experience. I highly recommend it!

    Wow. Do not do this cruise. We were looking at options to seeing the Statue of Liberty and this sounded like a decent deal $57 a person for a cruise around Ellis island along with some passes for their hop on and off city tours. First, off the boat literally hit the bridge as they were departing the pier. It was very very scary. The tour went on and the views aren't bad but the ride was very rough. It tossed back and forth. I sure hope I was a bad outlier but I would never do it again. Glad to be alive and unharmed.

    Great photo ops on the decks!!!

Our host organized a Manhattan architecture cruise tour for us on a gorgeous summer day. We all boarded the boat and peered out the large windows surrounding almost every section of the vessel. Our tour guide explained that while we would need to be seated for the beginning, we were welcome to head out the doors to the front once we were on our way, as the speakers would allow us to hear her narration from the outside. She was extremely knowledgeable and directed our attention with information and history as we moved through the waterways. A beverage is included on the tour, and they have a broad selection from still and sparking water to wines and beers. You can also bring your drinks outside. Most people didn't choose to come outside until later in the tour, so it was a great ride soaking up the sunshine with a breeze from the water. One of the highlights was definitely begin up close with the Statue of Liberty. There was plenty of time there for photos as we turned around before heading back. Getting to sail through the swing bridges was also pretty need. I definitely have a deeper understanding and appreciation for the architecture of the city, and we all had a really enjoyable afternoon!

I was able to ask whatever questions I had about the whales to the crew and they always had answers. You can bring food aboard, and I believe on the lower level there is a little concession stand (I sat up top and stayed up there the whole time). Highly recommend a jacket or sweater as once you're out on open water the breeze kicks in.

    Whale watching right in New York City? Of course! It's amazing to think you can do something so…read morenautical and full of marine life from one of NYC's Boroughs, but it's true as American Princess Cruises offers up whale watching adventures right out of Brooklyn. My wife and I did this just the other day and it was absolutely awesome. Truth be told, this was actually our second outing with APC as we had already had a fantastic time with them back in 2019 searching for sea mammals. Knowing my wife (girlfriend at that '19 time) loved it, I went to see if American PC was still a thing (especially after Covid times) and they most certainly are! Their boat launch location is different (now in Sheapshead Bay as opposed to Breezy Point), but it still is the same great cruise line. What makes it great? Well the boat is of reasonable size that could fit about 100 folks. It has inside and outside seating as well as a small snack bar with some simple foods to nosh on and an array of drinks (including beer and wine) to partake in. You can also bring on some basic food (we did bagels) to eat if you would like. I will say the bathrooms might leave something to be desired, but find me a small boat with a luxurious bathroom (you won't be able to). What's really most important here is the actual whale watching experience with American Princess and their crew. The APC website boasts some pretty regular whale (and dolphin) viewing and it shows as these guys know how to spot and track whales. What's nice to know is they do everything under a "Whale Sense" program that trains them to ensure all watching and following happens under proper distances and laws. Naturalist Celia explained all this and much more about whales themselves throughout our 3 hour and change trip. She was incredibly informative and pretty friendly from start to finish as she was helpful in pointing things out on the water. Other crew members (including the captain) did the same which helped in keeping us looking in the right direction. Directions like time were important (they used the "o'clock" method) because we definitely needed them to point us in the correct location. Starting early in our trip we began spotting whales. There were 3 humpbacks total that were spotted as well as a minke whale (which I had never heard of) and is apparently rarer to see. The trip was finished off with a pod of about thirty dolphins jumping and playing around our boat which was super cool. Overall, I highly recommend whale watching with American Princess Cruises. If you thought you needed to go out of Long Island in Montauk or this was some kind of Nordic European thing you could only do then you thought wrong! American Princess Cruises gives you everything you need to safely and enjoyably watch some sea mammal life right from an NYC Borough. Who knew? I did! And now you do too.

From the moment we boarded, everything felt well-organized and welcoming. The staff were friendly and efficient, making the check-in and seating process smooth. The real highlight, of course, was the view. Seeing the skyline from the water gives you an entirely different appreciation for the city's architecture and scale. Passing by iconic landmarks while listening to the live narration added a lot of depth to the experience. Our tour guide, Andrew, was especially knowledgeable about the history of the city--he shared fascinating facts, stories, and context that really brought each landmark to life, all while keeping things engaging and easy to follow. The boat itself was clean and comfortable, with plenty of space to move around and take photos. Whether you prefer sitting inside or enjoying the open-air deck, there's a good spot for everyone. I especially appreciated how unhurried the cruise felt; there was enough time to soak in each sight without feeling rushed. I'd highly recommend the Circle Line Sightseeing Cruise to both visitors and locals--it's a relaxing, informative, and scenic way to see the city from a whole new angle.

    BEST WEDDING EVER!!!…read more I was all set up at another venue to get married on October 17th, 2020. Three weeks before my wedding, I was informed they were going to need to cancel. Frantic and ready to cancel, my now husband had suggested a boat. I googled party boats in Brooklyn, and the Atlantis came up, and to be very honest, I was skeptical, I called anyway. I spoke to a lovely woman, her name was Kelly and explained the situation, and she was very sympathetic to what was happening. She set me up with an appointment with Amanda to have a tour of the boat. My husband and I got to the boat and met with Amanda and knew immediately we were in good hands. This woman is amazing. Leading up to the event date, there were so many changes due to hot zones and what have you, and several times I was ready to give up, and it was her who told me, you deserve to be a bride and have the wedding of your dreams, and she and her awesome team delivered at every single turn. From Jamie in billing, which was so sweet, Captain Fred and his beautiful wife who oversaw every detail and cruised us around the city (some of my guests did not even know we left the dock until they were invited to the top deck to see the cake cutting by the Statue of Liberty). All the servers that none of my guests waited for a drink, the food was out promptly nobody was waiting, they were awesome, and the food was delicious (get the lamb chop ordures). Everybody on the Yacht was amazing. Amanda, we want to thank you for everything you did for us. We could not have pulled off the best wedding of all time, all the little details, the communication between vendors. It was like working with a best friend easy peasy. From the very bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. Things happen for a reason. My husband and I are so happy the other place canceled on us; it would have been a nice event but nothing close to what an AMAZING EXPERIENCE all our guests and we had.

They truly made you feel like a long time friend or part of the family when meeting with them to plan the event. My guests had a wonderful time and walked away with a unique experience that we are still talking about a month after the wedding. One could not have ask for anything more. I would repeat my wedding and all my events on The Atlantis and will recommend to all who would ask.
