Scenic City Cruises Xperience Days Reviews

This cruise was incredible. We had a reserved table inside where you order your first complimentary drink. We were really happy that the boat wasn't overfilled so made it nice and relaxing and the service was great. Once away from shore we were able to go outside on the boat where there is more seating. It was a sunny day so we did that and enjoyed the spectacular views. Highly recommend whether you live in NYC like us or are visiting.


NEW YORK

The Northern Lights tour takes you out to the end of the harbor, then back down to the navel yards and back to the port. It's pleasant, but not exciting. You don't get views of the landmark buildings on the Boston skyline, which are on the Charles River side. Views are OK, bar on the boat is good. seating is somewhat limited on the upper deck under the canopy, so try to line up early to get a good spot. Nothing special, but a decent way to spend a few hours on a nice day.


West Windsor

The crew was great, the sail was wonderful. The food was okay, egg wraps and quiche were cold.


New York City

The experience was better than expected.
