Overview

The Starship Landmark 90-Minute Sightseeing Cruise departs from Pier 78 at Hudson River Park in midtown Manhattan. The cruise lasts 90 minutes and includes multiple departure times throughout the day, with options for sunset and evening city lights. The boat is a modern Starship vessel with temperature-controlled indoor and outdoor decks. A professional guide provides live narration during the trip. The cruise begins by sailing down the Hudson River past Hudson Yards. It pauses near the Statue of Liberty for a photo opportunity from the boat, without disembarking. The Statue of Liberty stands 305 feet tall on Liberty Island and was a gift from France in 1886. The route continues past Ellis Island, known as the entry point for over 12 million immigrants between 1892 and 1954. Passengers then see the Manhattan skyline, including the One World Trade Center. The boat sails under the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan Bridge. Next, the cruise passes the Empire State Building before moving toward the South Street Seaport, a historic maritime district. The boat briefly travels up the East River before returning to Pier 78. A digital photographer is onboard to take complimentary photos throughout the cruise. The Snack Bar offers food and drinks, including a full bar, available for purchase. The tour allows cancellation or rescheduling up to 24 hours before departure. Boarding begins approximately 15 minutes before the scheduled departure time, and passengers are advised to arrive 30 minutes early. Infants age three and under ride free. Outside food and beverages are not permitted. Seating is first come, first served, and smoking is prohibited.
