Classic Cruisers (USDOT #255501) was a charter and transit bus operator based in Lakewood, New Jersey.

Founded in the early 1980's, the company prided itself on the upkeep of its equipment, with a number of its buses logging twenty or more years of service. Originally favoring MCI and TMC products, Classic Cruisers from 1995 onward exclusively bought Prevost H-series coaches. The company also bought used Orion and Gillig transit buses to help provide local bus service in Ocean County.

Classic Cruisers was sold on September 1, 2016 to Stout's Transportation. Stout's still maintains Classic Cruisers' garage on Prospect Street in Lakewood as a base of operations for its Ocean Ride buses and part of their charter fleet.
