Indulge in an all-you-can-eat buffet as you take in the sights on this relaxing afternoon cruise in New York Harbor that includes DJ entertainment. Capture photos of landmarks including the Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty and Brooklyn Bridge while learning more about New York City and its numerous attractions from informative narration. Upgrade to receive a welcome glass of champagne in a souvenir flute, platinum open bar, and a table for your party size.
Board your ship at Chelsea Piers on Manhattan's west side. As you do, smile as a photographer takes a keepsake photo of you and your party that you can purchase later if you wish. Let the friendly staff guide you to your table for your lunch cruise. If you've chosen the upgrade option, sip Champagne from a souvenir flute and take in the view from your guaranteed window table.
Admire the hustle-bustle of New York City as you enjoy the laid-back ambience of your cruise around New York Harbor. Head to the buffet as often as you like to fill up on classic American fare (see Itinerary for a sample menu). Walk around the ship or lounge at your table as you listen to narration about the sights you see from the panoramic windows. Have your camera ready for share-worthy shots of top New York attractions including the Empire State Building, Brooklyn Bridge, the Freedom Tower, South Street Seaport, Governors Island, the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
DJ entertainment helps keep the mood light and festive. If you've chosen the upgrade option, savor drinks from the premium open bar in addition to the buffet. Your 2-hour New York City lunch cruise concludes at Chelsea Piers.
Views spectacular. Food just ok. Drinks good. Unfortunately during record breaking cold temps in NYC there is no place remotely warm to wait until time to board. We were able to go into a very open warehouse - which was just as bad as outside with the wind whipping through. I would definitely recommend this cruise to others. We got some great Statue of Liberty pics from inside the boat where it was warm. Staff was friendly - which is always a plus.

The cruise was superb, Captain Jason and his crew couldnt be faulted. The views were stunning and we spent so much time cruising round the Statue of Liberty, it really is the best way to see this iconic monument.

This tour was the best._br/_ Boat beautiful,food amazing,staff on top of everything._br/_ This is a must do when in NYC
Review by: Mommyscody, November 2017
Food was not what I expected. I was told there was gluten-free food. The chef made me a pasta dish for which I had to wait approximately 90 minutes. There was only a few dessert selections. Not worth the money.

The much anticipated trip turned to be a complete failure. We bought the tickets for a Buffet Lunch Cruise, there was no other information, and only when we arrived we found out this trip was Gospel powered.We are not fans and would never buy anything connected to it._br/_ The dream for a romantic trip with a glass of champagne was ruined. Eventually, we never stepped aboard, the money spent was a waste. _br/_ Why haven't we been warned about the changes in the schedule?...

We took my Dad on this lunch cruise for his 80th birthday. Awesome food and service, excellent cruise, highly recommend. We got lucky and had a perfect day of weather. Wish the cruise was 3 hours instead of 2 as we would have liked to spend more time walking around the ship up top. Just loved every minute of it.

Review by: jdavis116, September 2015
The boat was nice. The lunch was tasty. The staff were good. However, after lunch, I sat on a cushion on a bench on the outside deck and my pants were soaked after that. Otherwise, I would have rated it a 5.

Review by: juliebrown_3, August 2015
This was a brilliant experience. We had upgraded so had a window seat and free bar for some alcoholic drinks. The food was fantastic as were the views. If I ever go back I will be doing this again.
Review by: Maria C, August 2015
Our group had a very nice time. Weather was perfect! Food was good. One complaint would be that we were last table to get food, therefore, spent more than an hour inside waiting to get on line.
Review by: Brian G, July 2015
We were notified a couple days in advance that our dinner cruise was cancelled and if we would like to be upgraded to the evening cruise on the same day for no additional charge. Of course we warmly welcomed it.

My family took pictures from the photographer and didn't even get to see them. The photographer left without even showing the photos and seeing if we wanted to purchase.

This tour was amazing!
Review by: Coral D, June 2015
Absolutely brilliant Cruise. Staff were great, Ship was very comfortable and buffet lunch was excellent. Not to be missed. This is a must do when in NYC and real value for money.
Review by: Charles G, April 2015
Viator booked us on a day that the cruise line wasn't operating!!!! Spirit was great working with us to get us on another day. The cruise was GREAT. We did the lunch cruise which was awesome, but we wished we would have done the night cruise just because it would be more lively. The DJ kept lively and fun. Food good and scenery great.
Review by: Maria H, December 2014
We enjoyed the lunch cruise, excited about the music and especially the food, couldn't have been better. Had a great relaxing time with the amazing view. Definitely going again soon.

Review by: Donna E, August 2014
Our waiter Brenden was wonderful; very aware of our needs and others.
Review by: Donna Z, August 2014
We had a wobderful time but the people working fir the Spirit were confusing. One said one thing another said something. Our ticket said gospel lunch and the ither side said gospel optional. The food was excellent. I would not want to be seated next to the DJ. The music would have been too loud.

Review by: malcolm j, June 2014
excellent trip as it was my wifes birthday the staff announced it and brought to our table a plate with cake and wrote around the plate was HAPPY BIRTHDAY SANDRA, nice touch,Staff and crew could not do enough to make it a pleasant and most enjoyable experience
Review by: SCOTT L, December 2013
MY WIFE AND I WENT ON THIS TRIP AND ALL WAS GREAT EXCEPT BUT THE MUSIC WAS TOO LOUD AND IM ONLY 42 AND IT WAS EVEN LOUD FOR ME! THERE WAS ALSO SOME TYPE OF CHILDRENS DAY CAMP AND THE KIDS APPROX. 50 PLUS WERE RUNNING ALL AROUND THE SHIP. I WAS HARD TO ENJOY BUT THE STAFF SHOULD OF STEPPED IN AND CALMED THE KIDS DOWN! BUT AGAIN FOOD AND STAFF AND SHIP WERE GREAT!
Review by: Jarle O, July 2013
We were expecting a nice and quiet lunch cruise, and feel like we ended up on the disco boat from hell. Bad food, cheap drinks, and singing waiters just topped up the bad experience. Most people on board didn't even care to look at the sights, they were there to dance and drink. Want to see sights from the Hudson, make sure to choose another cruise line than his.
Review by: Georgios P, April 2013
Great way to see spend the afternoon
Review by: Cheryl B, August 2012
The crew was very nice and professional from the begining to the end.The entertainment was also very good it made me feel like I was on a real cruise ship.I didnt know there would be entertainment,I thought it was just the lunch and the sightseeing,and the food was very good also.I just wish it was a little longer because I had such a good time.
