Circle Line: Liberty Cruise (60 min)

The 60 minute Circle Line Liberty Cruise shows you the main sights of New York in a short period of time. The affordable tour allows to see some of New York’s sites from a new perspective. In 60 minutes, see the Statue of Liberty, Wall Street, Brooklyn Bridge and Battery Park. The tour starts on the west side of Manhattan at the Circle Line terminal on Pier 83 (12th Avenue between 42nd and 43rd Street).

Narrated Boat Tour

The Circle Line Liberty Cruise is fully narrated and the guide will tell you all about New York and its buildings. In addition to fun facts, making your tour interesting and enjoyable. Learn all about the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island: the gateway for millions of immigrants and, of course the historic immigration centre. As you get up close and personal with Lady Liberty, be sure to have your camera ready to take some fantastic photos! Choose to sit inside (air conditioned) or to enjoy the breeze on the outside deck. Food, drinks and souvenirs are available on board but you can also bring your own food and non-alcoholic drinks.

Eric’s Tip: If you want to enjoy a tour in a sailboat, take the Statue of Liberty Tall Ship Sailing Cruise. In one to two hours you’ll sail the waters of New York and see sights such as the Empire State Building and Statue of Liberty.

Practical Information

You can either buy tickets for a specific departure time, or a flexible admission time. After purchasing you’ll receive a voucher. When you’ve chosen timed tickets, you can board the boat with this voucher directly (printed out or on your smartphone). With flexible admission tickets, you’ll first have to show your voucher at the ticket window, to pick up the ticket for the cruise time of your choice. I recommend exchanging the voucher as early in the day as possible, or even the day before, so you can be sure of availability.
