Circle Line

Taking a Circle Line Cruise?
Here Are The Essential Facts
and Discounts!

Circle Line cruises provide a relaxing way to experience New York City and its environs. You'll sit back, relax, and view all of our beautiful rivers, bridges, landmarks, outer boroughs, and get a close up view of lady liberty--the Statue of Liberty. In fact, if you don't have the time or inclination to actually visit the Statue of Liberty, the Circle Line is a super option!

Take in Manhattan's majestic skyline, sail down the Hudson River, see Battery Park, tug up the East River while passing the United Nations, and more. It's a great way to get an overall 'sense' of the big apple.

Each and every cruise is narrated by a very knowledgeable, entertaining, and in my case, FUNNY tour guide! You'll learn a lot and laugh too!


How To Buy Tickets and Get Discounts

Circle Line options:
  • 3-Hour: Full-Island Cruise
