About this tour

See New York from a fresh perspective on a lunch cruise aboard the glass-enclosed Bateaux. With panoramic skyline views, freshly prepared food, and live piano music, this two-hour outing pairs a relaxed meal with a memorable trip along the city’s waterways.

Board at Pier 61 and settle in at a guaranteed table for your party. As the boat travels along the Hudson and East Rivers, take in views of Manhattan and landmarks including the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, One World Trade Center, and the Empire State Building. Enjoy freshly prepared entrees, salads, and desserts, with unlimited coffee, hot tea, iced tea, and water. A live pianist provides the soundtrack while the city unfolds beyond the windows. Cocktails, wine, and beer are available for purchase at the cash bar.

This New York lunch cruise offers an easy way to combine dining, music, and waterfront sightseeing. Arrive at least 30 minutes before departure to board on time, then enjoy the city from the comfort of the Bateaux.

How the score works and rating distribution in New York City
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 5.6.
