Cocoa and Carols or Holiday Jazz Cruise

The holiday Cocoa & Jazz cruise went beyond my expectations. The boat was beautifully and festively decorated, the band played well with songs I knew and enjoyed, and the cocoa was delicious. This cruise started my 2-day 35th birthday celebration and I couldn't have chosen a better way! A couple even got engaged on the trip. The boat and scenery were perfect backdrops to their special moment and it added to everyone's enjoyment of the nights experience.

Did not expect too much from the jazz and cocoa boat trip, but have to say, it was massively underestimated. By far, the very best thing we did in New York. The best $55 each we spent. Beautiful boat, beautiful atmosphere and beautiful jazz music. A great way to see the city and the wonderful skyline. Overall, this boat trip is massively recommended. Anyone wanting to experience New York by boat, should definitely book this trip, it is amazing.

Loved everything about the Holiday Jazz Cruise - perfect amount of time on the water, perfect boat size, great crew and wonderful music and sights. Highly recommend it!

My three college daughters, my wife and I spent a snowy day in New York. We finished the day cruising around the city in the snow, but warm and comfortable. Thanks for a great experience !

I took my mother on this cruise as a Christmas present and we had a nice time looking at the lights and admiring the boat (which is lovely). The crew was very pleasant and accommodating, and the length of the ride was perfect - not to long not too short. The cocoa was a little disappointing (likely swiss miss made with water) and seeing as that was part of the attraction I thought it would be slightly higher quality. The caroling was rather silly... two singers not attempting much in the way of harmony, but it was still enjoyable. If they made the cocoa with milk and sang a few more traditional carols (with a harmony) and it would be an absolutely perfect holiday event.

This was a fabulous boat ride around the city skyline! The view of the statue of Liberty was breath taking so bring your camera! The carolers were very friendly, fun and interactive! Our group in the back of the ship continued caroling and got requested throughout the night! This is a great event for a group of friends or a couple on a date. Its very romantic and the first round of wine or hot chocolate was free!

We had a great time, The jaz band were very good & the sights of course were amazing. However they really need to heat up the (hot ) cocoa. It was luke warm & it was a very cold night. Also the drinks are quite expensive & not sure how they justify what they give you, I had wine the same as some people sat on the next table, they had a full glass but unfortunately mine was only half full for the same price. Apart from that I would recommend this trip especially if you want a bit of romance

First class service, and a good way to see NYC by night.

We have been to NYC before but this was our first time "on the water" and the scenery at night was fantastic, like lit up buildings coming up out of the water. We also went to the Top of the Rock at night and we enjoyed the water cruise at least as much. Staff on the boat were very polite, the jazz ensemble was great, sat in comfortable seats and the yacht was not feeling crowded at all. We stayed outside for a short while, beautiful but it was chilly. The closeness of being to Lady Liberty just made the whole cruise perfect. I would highly recommend this trip to everyone.

My family and I had a fabulous time! The scenery was spectacular, the boat was beautifully decorated, the jazz band was wonderful and the crew was gracious and friendly. Really exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend this cruise!
