Thanks Circle Line for showing amazing NYC views! I would highly recommend this tour!
The tour guide had amazing energy and did a fabulous job for describing history of the nyc landmarks!! They had a technical difficulties with microphone, which was addressed quickly and tour guide made sure to cover and miss out on important city history! Overall very impressed!

The cruise in itself is fairly relaxing and not that interesting in itself. We got our tickets with a pass and made reservation at the pier the day before sailing.
If you can get a good seat you'll enjoy yourself throughout.
I'd recommend coming and queuing up probably at least an hour before the sailing, as we came 40min before and were quite far back in the queue, struggling to find a seat on the top deck outside. Best is probably either side on top so your view isn't obscured by anyone.
We ended up sitting in 2nd row from the front of top deck, towards the centre of the ship which didn't seem ideal, but protected us from the winds later on. Most people behind us left to hide downstairs by the middle point of cruise since they came unprepared and got cold.
What really made the cruise stand out as interesting was the tour guide - David. He shared his knowledge of the history of various points along the cruise, making some funny remarks here and there. And it also helped that he kept reminding people not to constantly stand at the railings and back of the ship, so that others can enjoy the views too.
Honestly if it wasn't for him, it'd be a 3star rating at best and if the seating and boarding experience was a bit better it could easily be 5 stars.

I recently had the pleasure of taking part in the "Landmark Cruise" operated by Circle Line in New York. This 90-minute tour was included in my New York Pass, making it a fantastic value.
The experience was enjoyable from the start. The boat departed on time, and the weather was perfect, adding to the charm of the trip. What made it even better was that it wasn't too crowded, allowing for a more relaxed experience.
The only drawback was that I couldn't fully hear the guide's explanations due to the wind and noise from other passengers. Nevertheless, the breathtaking views of New York City landmarks more than made up for it.
Overall, I highly recommend this cruise for both tourists and locals. It's a great way to see the city's iconic landmarks from a unique perspective.

I did the Harbour Light Cruise at 7pm.
Good attraction to cruise around NYC.
The whole journey was about 1.5 hrs.
What surprised me was the staff who actually introduced all the buildings and bridges thru the microphone. I didn’t expect that at all.
The snack bar price was not too bad comparable to nyc standard.
Nice ride. I enjoyed it.
