There are different types of services: you can choose day or night cruises, dinner included and so on. The prices will obviously vary, depending on what you want.
From our part, we made a cruise during the day, for one hour, we learned so much and the view was amazing (and we got one free drink!)

One tip: print your ticket before going to the cruise!
