What Our Guests are Saying

Working with City Cruises was so easy for our corporate event. They were extremely accommodating, given that we were well within their 2 week window for confirming/providing payment for an event, and our guest count increased significantly! Our event went off without a hitch, with the extremely professional and friendly crew. We were aboard the Sensation, which has a large indoor space lined with windows and a great covered top deck. Such a great private night time cruise! Our guests loved it so much, so people went back to enjoy the Sunday Brunch cruise Hornblower offers. Thanks again!

The overall experience was great! I’ve attended numerous times and each visit was better than before. Great for corporate events, anniversaries and parties! Def will be returning with the warmer weather.

What a wonderful experience! I highly recommend, particularly for a corporate event or large party. The buffet was absolutely delicious!
