Had a great trip. Music, atmosphere, panoramic vision, food was all great. My daughter received a free bouquet of roses for her Birthday. The manager herself personally brought bouquet and with great respect presented it to my daughter and congratulated her. It was very nice. My daughter ordered a glass of cocktail. The bartender additionally brought a Birthday present separately another glass of cocktail. It so happened that 2 glasses fell and broke. The bartender saw and brought again 2 different glasses of cocktail at no extra charge. An unforgettable and romantic evening that my family really enjoyed.The staff were friendly. Food amazing, musicians professionally. I recommend this romantic trip.

My partner took me on an evening dinner cruise to celebrate my birthday and what a fantastic experience it was. The service was second to none, the food was very good and a live band that try accommodate song requests. The views as you sail down the Hudson are stunning especially on the return journey at night and not to mention they take you up close to the statue of liberty. The amount of photo opportunities on this trip is countless! I really cant recommend it enough especially if your celebrating a special occasion. You generally get an hour between courses so your free to move around and enjoy the atmosphere, go out to the bow or stern of the ship or maybe enjoy a dance as the fantastic band perform and maybe your lucky enough they will perform on of your requests

When I booked this cruise, it has a vegetarian option that I booked while buying the ticket. When we got there, there was no vegetarian option.. we were told to find vegetarian options from the buffet. Which was basically salad and broccoli. I had also ordered a kids meal for my daughter when I booked the cruise. The only kids item that they brought was macaroni and cheese, which came out cold. Upon request they brought fries which were inedible. They tasted like they had barely been cooked.Secondly, our waitress told us that dessert would be available for the duration of the cruise. When we stopped by the dessert table shortly after dinner, there was no dessert left. We asked a waitress if there would be more coming and she replied that the buffet was closed and no more dessert was available. We never got any dessert.The cruise itself was enjoyable. The boat and atmosphere were nice. But with tickets being around $150 per person, its not worth it. I would not recommend this cruise if you have any dietary restrictions, as they are very unresponsive in that regard. Very overpriced considering the food that they offer.

We loved our experience at Bateaux. I have tried several different cruises in the city and found it spotless. It is certainly a must, especially for those who want to do something special, as the experience mixes a more refined meal with a tour of the city’s iconic spots. All in a light and comfortable way without crowds. My mother was with us and it was her first cruise and she just loved it: she said this cruise was worth the entire trip.

This was by far the best experience I had while visiting New York. On this particular evening I just happened to be dining alone for the dinner cruise since my girlfriends werent in town quite yet. I was the only patron on the boat dining alone, and I preach to you that it didnt feel that way for even one moment. The staff of the Bateaux went out of their way to make my experience truly one of a kind.Im not sure if they spoke to one another to be extra attentive to my needs but I felt like a VIP movie star. Everyone was so gracious and welcoming including the other patrons on the cruise. Everyone was having such a wonderful time. The cruise was at full capacity and people are constantly up and out of their seats to experience the outside deck. I received the VIP treatment and got to experience the upper deck and captains quarters! The captain (pictured) was a true Gentlemans gentleman.The food was 5 star along with the drinks and the views were AMAZING😍🗽This first time I ever saw the Statue of liberty and New York skyline was lit up on a 5 star cruise, drinking champagne and eating food to die for! The Butter cake is good enough alone to go back...🤗🤤I even made a few new friends! Thank you to the Bateaux and its truly exceptional staff for making this night so special for me. I will be back.

It was our Holiday office party & there were 32 of us. Each and everyone was WOWED. You barely felt the boat move. The staff was exceptional & went over the top, waited a few minutes to leave in order to wait for the last 2 people in our group. The food was actually good. The mimosas never stopped. The live music just right. It really was a perfect Sunday Afternoon. Thank you very much Bateaux New York.

Delicious food perfect for intimate dates. The place was very easy to find, staff was very welcoming and gave very good service. The Mimosa kept flowing never stopped. Food was so delicious and good variety. Because it’s covered we were able to actually enjoy. It wasn’t cold but it was extremely windy if not for the indoor everything would’ve been flying.

Great experience! Had an amazing 4th of July in the cruise with amazing views of NYC! The boarding process could be improved, as well as enforcing more order in the buffet. Even if the DJ and manager mentioned that the buffet line was organized per table, many families/groups jumped in without waiting their turn.

I booked a brunch cruise for 9 people on May 30th, and the attendant Cordell was very pleasant during the booking only to get on board and to be told by the manager that he was short staffed and therefore, could not accommodate us. I understand the staffing shortage as most businesses are dealing with similar issues however, the manager was very rude as if we were asking for a favor when in fact we paid over $1000.00 for the brunch. I hope that the City Cruises will hire more staff and educate its employees on how to be more professional like Cordell.

Loved loved loved this experience! I did a 3 hr cruise and it was the perfect amount of time. The food and drinks were good for the cost. And they had a nice jazz band that played music and had a lounge singer who was pretty good. The views of NY were absolutely amazing and as it gets more beautiful as night falls. Then the captain cruises very close by the Statute of Liberty and makes an announcement so you can go outside and get really nice pictures. Great for date night or night out with family and friends. Also good excuse to get dressed up.

Not cheap by any means, but absolutely phenomenal. Took this cruise for my girlfriends birthday (taking advantage of the Romantic Dinner for 2 option and their Cyber Monday discount) and couldnt be more satisfied. The staff provided roses, a bottle of Jean-Louis Champagne, and 2 keepsake champagne flutes.Despite the cold and the rain, the experience was amazing. It provided breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline and landmarks. Our waiter Joshua was friendly and attentive, the live band was a cool mix of holiday and modern tunes, and the food was exceptional. I had the duck pastrami, short rib, and butter cake, all 3 of which I highly recommend. Came hungry, left very happy. I will definitely return here one day for another trip.

I have paid $550 for a brunch cruise. We had a party of 5, all vegans. Thank you for offering vegan diet preference on booking, but I wish you would also give at least 40% discount for whoever chooses vegan option, as due to the food we were served I felt the cruise company has saved a lot of money on us as compared to the regular menu. Instead of taking out the cheese from a starter salad (which was actually a bit of green leaves and two piecesof cherrytomatoes), you could simply change it to vegan cheese (there are plenty of them on the market). Main course was delicious, but again - all other guests were served chicken, but we had grilled vegetables. For dessert everyone were served cheesecakes, but for us they had a small fruit plate, and not of the best freshness... also, they didnt even have any kind of plant based milk for coffee!I felt very disappointed that vegans arent still less discriminated. I dont understand what I have paid $110 /person... I would agree to pay $40/person for the cruise by itself, but i wouldnt feel good paying more than $20/person for the three course meal that we were served.

The ultimate dinner cruise. We enjoyed a great reasonably priced wine list with great food to match. Amazing scenic views as we went down the Hudson and up the east River. Lady Liberty was the highlight of the evening. Oh! And great cup of coffee to finish. Friendly attentive service. We will go again

Late one night, I decided to try Spiritea of New York. Yes, I had ice tea, but really fancy Ice tea. The entire experience was pleasing to the eyes. From the pale colors of the decor-tea rose and lavender, to the selection of the furniture with enchanting curvatures, it was made to remove every memory of rough and tuff NY. Every element was purposely put in that place to enrich the customer’s experience, and it did it for me.Add to the attraction that is the favorite place of college age kids from Asia, so you find yourself listening to other languages of laughing young girls having a great time talking with each others, and that is very nice.If you are visiting Manhattan, this is one of your must stops.Enjoy!

NOT VEGAN FRIENDLY. On the website, they state they have vegan options, and also offer that option when making the reservation. Unfortunately, there was NO VEGAN food whatsoever on the boat. We ended up paying only for the “trip”, and a couple drinks. Honestly we felt robbed, and no refund was ever made regarding this issue. We will never book with this company ever again

I saved to fly my husband to ny for Father’s Day for this cruise and couldn’t have been more disappointed. Took an hour to order.. literally two hours for our bottle of wine to come only for the waitress to say they were out of what were order she also came at dinner time to advise they were out of the steak we upgraded to we asked if we could pay more to dock or see a manager. It was that upsetting and ruined our entire trip waitress couldn’t care less about the horrible service not worth the cost as what we did eat was cold and small portioned I booked through viator and wish I knew who to contact for a refund as the entire experience was truly the worst dinning experience I have ever had

Reason for the 5 🌟, the Service, The Food, and the Drinks was exceptional. The table setting was nice, it look a nice restaurant but the boat itself was nothing to be impress about, the boat entrance does. Its different from the rest of the cruise around that pier. Went for a Sunday Brunch and didnt like the fact that the dress code policy was not really enforced.The food is a buffet style some of the things were a bit cold but was very flavorful which was a plus plus. The have a variety of cold and hot things something for every diet I guess. The service was really good and that makes the difference for me. Its only 2hrs wish was more as we did had a great time.Love the drinks although some were a little strong, but they were good.

This cruise was absolutely amazing, nothing can take away the beauty that is New York. The food was delicious. Getting to keep the glasses is a plus considering the price of drinks. Service is slow, our waiter was not on top of it, but there was staff that was extremely helpful. I would definitely recommend this cruise.

The Spirit of New York is a great Cruise to relax, have fun, take great photos by New York City landmarks, eat good food and dance it all off. The more than friendly staff provides excellent service and the food is delicious. Order drinks at the bar and head to the dance floor because the DJ is great and what better Ambiance than the New York City skyline and the Hudson River.

Really well done NYC cruise in the Hudson and slightly up the East River to see the Manhattan skyline and sights of Hoboken/Jersey City on the one side and Brooklyn on the other. I was on for a company event so I dont know the pricing, but the ambiance was great as expected, the food exceeded expectations and the live music on board was an impressive touch. Up close views of Lady Liberty were hard to beat.

Came here with a school group and had a lot of fun. The food was delicious, not what I was expecting for a boat buffet. The dancing got extremely hot and humid but still very fun. The crew members were all very nice and helpful. The views were amazing as well. I would definitely recommend this cruise to anyone looking to have a good time.

I had a nice time. The food was good, but some of the items were cold before I got to my seat. The restroom was clean but one stall had a busted door. The table and chair set up on the second level was cramped. We passed right in front of the statue of liberty which was awesome even for a cloudy day.

An Absolute great experience... You dont have to shell out more for the window view, since the exteriors are made of glass you can sit down almost anywhere in the ship and enjoy the view. Plus you have access to the deck of the ship (both front and back), better get your snaps taken at the deck before the sun sets!One star lost due to the meager amounts of food provided for the fixed dinner.

Incredible views with opportunities to not miss anything since they make sure to turn around for everyone to get an espectacular moment to take it all in..Amazing experience, staff was incredible, courteous, welcoming, going above and beyond making sure any need and request was met above expectations! They absolutely make you feel special from the moment you are boarding! Planning my next visit already!! Great music, singers and band were great, easy listening and awesome song choices, my children 16 and 24 as well as us “older folks” loved singing along and enjoyed the sound throughout the entire cruise!

City Cruises evening cruises are an enjoyable night out for couple and small groups. The company goes out of its way to ensure you get good value for your buck.Pros: The maitre d, Alex, works hard to put a good deal of thought into seat assignment, coverage, guest requests and more. He works equally as hard at fixing problems when they arise. Food is buffet style, all-you-can-eat, with fish, chicken and beef selections for everyone. Cocktails may or may not be included depending on your ticket purchase, but were all well made. On my most recent dinner & dance cruise, I split a large margarita glass fishbowl that my wife wanted. Even though it seemed like a lot of ice, and we nursed the drink for over an hour, it didnt really taste watered down until the very end. Others on my tab commented their drinks were done well also. A nice mix of people. Tickets are just pricey enough that people will take it serious and not just show up in jeans and shorts (for the most part, there will always be those who just dont get it). The route was scenic (went up to 125th, then down around to Mnhttn bridge, then around the bay near Statue of Liberty and back). Weather permitting you will have a great night on the water. Even with heat lately, it was still very cool when boat is moving.Cons: music is a little dated sometimes. Buffet is arranged weird (plates are in middle instead of at the beginning resulting in disorder). Only 1 person to replenish buffet so it is constantly out of 1 menu item. System for ordering drinks can delay getting drinks for up to 20 min. Never enough chairs on deck, and getting more chairs seems to require multiple layers of approval. It can get a little crowded in some areas whenever the boat is near photo opportunity (top deck overwhelmed when near Stat of Liberty, Freedom tower, Brooklyn Bridge).I recommend this as a romantic activity for couples or small groups.

This was a really entertaining cruise. We were confused why we werent seated at a window when the cruise was barely half full. Then when we and several other guests reseated ourselves, the wait staff was very rude and informed us that we should have asked to move our seats. No we didnt pay for a guaranteed window seat, but I assumed that if window seats were available after all the guaranteed people were seated, we would have that option.The food was marginally good, so dont go hoping for a 5 star cuisine. The best part of the cruise were the guests and the lovely views around the Hudson. I would recommend this cruise for anyone who wants to get water views of NYC, NJ, and the Statue of Liberty.

I took this tour at night 28 March 2018. The first thing that struck me was how unfailingly friendly, helpful and genuine the entire crew were; they could not do enough to make us feel welcome. Our party of five enjoyed the buffet and the bar but the real treat was to follow once we departed; the Manhattan skyline at night! It blew us all away - including the native New Yorkers among us! The length of the trip gave us ample time to revel in the Statue of Liberty and Brooklyn Bridge and soak up the experience up on deck. This is an absolute must do for any visitor to the Big Apple and I hope to take more family trips later in the year. Thank you to everyone on the Spirit of New York who helped make our night so very special. We will be back, Conor, Ireland.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND Bateaux New York, if ever in the City. Seriously, youll be WOWed the whole time. From getting on to the ship the employees were there with smiles, greeting us and helping the ladies safely step onto the ship. We were immediately seat, once given our ticket. AND let me tell you, any seat you are given has an amazing view! It really felt so nice. Our waitess greeted us and told us the get down with how everything works, i believe five minutes in, but it was great cause you need alll that time to take in the beauty around you. Haha. Let me just say service was excellent, our server was funny, knowledgeable and on it. A manager came around twice to check up on us, and thank us for being here so that was really nice. Food!!! From the fresh seafood platter all the way to the melt in your mouth butter cake everything was delicious! The views! The views were to die for! You could be at your seat, or out on the deck, youd still have an equally amazing view! **A MUST SEE IN MY BOOKS** And to top it off, they have live music! And she was very nice to listen too, perfect actually for the mood. This was just an amazing experience, which i highly RECOMMEND. Im sure youll enjoy it as much as I did.

Awesome experience. I’ve lived in NYC my entire life and didn’t even know about this. Mostly everyone on the boat was a tourist visiting from another country.I got taken here for my 30th birthday yesterday and although it started raining halfway through the boat ride, it was still an awesome experience since the view is perfect from the inside because how the boat is designed.Very personal, romantic, and highly recommended. Our server and the manager were awesome, constantly checking on us and making sure we had a drink since we had the Unlimited Drinks package.Music was very relaxing with a live band. Not really dancing music but it was perfect for a night out on the town with beautiful views and good food.A+ experienceJose Rivera

Great service..early admission onto boat for the Bottomless mimosa brunch cruise December 9, 2018. 5 starsReturned on 12-30-18 for the Jingle Bells cruise. It was ok until the coffee- first a stained cup and then one with a huge crack. The manager apologized and offered another cup, which I declined. Minutes later, the server decided to place another cup of coffee near me anyway. I did not drink it. Although I was once an avid lunch and brunch cruiser, as I was planning a February 1, 2019 dinner cruise. I have changed my mind. I will not support nor engage others in supporting Spirit of New York in the future. 3 stars

Review №69

The company offers a three-hour dinner cruise on the Hudson, Upper New York Bay, and East River. The two rooms, separated by the dance floor and a small orchestra stand, comfortably sit 300 guests. There are four rows of tables; some guests (about a quarter) have to sit with their backs to the windows, so reserving a window table is a must.The tables are arranged comfortably with plenty of space between them; large windows and spacious deck (accessible at any time) offer gorgeous views. The crew is there when you need them.A competent band (already playing when one boards the ship) starts with instrumental standards, gradually moving on to vocal numbers. The program is well balanced, inoffensive, and aims to please anyone aged 60 and over. Disco dominates, but there are some contemporary numbers as well. Sound levels are reasonable - earplugs not needed; one can even have a conversation.The weakest part of the cruise is, unfortunately, the dinner. The food - as far as I can tell, it is not being prepared on premises; hot dishes are reheated. Though food looks nice on the plate, it is vastly overdone, and lacks any texture or taste. Booze might help - there is a full (cash) bar on the ship. Servers are cheery, courteous, and speak passable English.There is a dress code, but I’ve yet to see anyone wearing a formal evening dress (I’ve been on a cruise a few times entertaining out of town guests); one would blend in wearing collared shirt (with or without a tie), trousers, and dress shoes. Jacket is not required, but strongly recommended for a different reason – A/C is set to Arctic temperatures and is blowing at a gale force.The ship departs on the dot, one must be prompt! If you booked your cruise online (and who didn’t?), please allow extra time (2 to 20 minutes) to exchange reservations for the actual paper tickets at the ticket booth at Pier 61 parking garage. Proper ID required.The cruise is not a sightseeing tour – the landmarks are not announced (except for the Statue of Liberty), so take a guidebook or a knowledgeable native along with you!

I took my Boyfriend on the Bateaux dinner cruise for his Birthday (March 2020) and we had a fabulous time! I got the Boarding Photo add on, we were one of the first guest to arrive and the photographer took some lovely photos of us on the deck of the boat with a beautiful sunset in the background. It appears the standard is for the pictures to be taken while youre sitting at your table (she took table pics of us also) and I really appreciate that she offered the deck pics. The food was tasty, especially the butter cake. The music was great, they played a little but of everything. I wish I could remember the servers name because he was excellent and took the attached photo for us. Being so close to The Statue of Liberty was magical. I enjoyed the experience so much that I just booked the 4th of July cruise a few minutes ago!

While we enjoyed this cruise it wasnt a patch on the one we had last year in Paris. There was a mix up with our booking - wed paid for a drinks package but they didnt have details so what should have been a lovely relaxing drink before setting off turned into a frantic race back to the shore reception for Daz to get paperwork altered. Waiter was kind and gave me complimentary champagne....but it wasnt complementary cos we had paid!!!😡 nice meal but nothing special and of course scenery was wonderful. Lasted 3 hours so made sure got full value of drinks after all the hassle. Even then tho there were still some drinks that you werent allowed!😩

Beautiful views, had high school groups on and the DJ played a bunch of fun music for us and everyone went to the dance floor and had fun. The food was pretty good but was a variety of random food such as chicken wings and chicken legs and rice or getting tacos with ground beef or green beans. When it is time to eat they bring up table groups one at a time which was super wierd and inconvenient for some people with food shortage, other than that great. The captain announced on the ship when we were arriving at liberty so everyone could go outside and get pictures or videos, they even played empire State of mind by Jay-Z which was amazing and super fun. The table set up was great it surround the ship and never in the middle which gave people enough space to get up, walk around, sit and eat, meet and greet. Definitely would recommend for anyone having a party or school trip or family trip with a large group!

We, my husband, myself, our three children, and my cousin went on a dinner cruise this past weekend. We drove in and I was worried about parking but there was parking right out front where we boarded the ship. The ticketing process was easy. Once on board... I have to say I was truly impressed.The service was phenomenal! All the bar tenders were great.Brandy was our waitress, she had multiple tables but made us feel we were the only ones. She also spoke multiple languages which I always admire and place extra value on!Kate was our “photogenic” girl and she took amazing photos of my family. I now have family pictures where all my kids are not only looking, but smiling !The staff for the ship, the captain and his crew greeted us as we came on.My kids will for sure never forget this night and neither will I.I hope to go again - !

Went on a Skyline Dinner Cruise for a 1 year anniversary. The staff was incredibly friendly, the food was phenomenal (granted there were not many dishes to choose from) and the views were gorgeous. Would highly recommend one of the night time cruises, especially in the spring/summer as it was quite chilly when I went in October.
