I visited my lady friend over the weekend and I wanted to do a river cruise. I’d taken part in one several years ago with a corporate function on one of the large ships. I wanted this cruise to be more intimate so when I saw the Sunset Cruises you offered I was sure this was the type of vessel I wanted to take her on. The ambiance aboard was terrific. The small number of people on board was just what I was looking for. The staff was very pleasant and attentive. We shared a bottle of the New York Pinot Noir and it was delicious. The setting sun cast incredible light off the Manhattan skyline and silhouetted Ellis Island and Lady Liberty providing for some very nice photos. A very memorable evening for sure. The Manhattan II and sister vessel Manhattan are a great option for small groups, 2 – 12, wanting to have a more relaxed and casual setting for a river cruise around the southern end of Manhattan. I will recommend any of the trips offered on either The Manhattan or Manhattan II to anyone I know that is visiting New York. It’s a great value and in my opinion no better way to see the city skyline from the water.
