Overview

This 50-minute New York City Circle Line Statue of Liberty Super Express Cruise departs from Manhattan and circles the harbor, offering close views of the 305-foot tall Statue of Liberty, a gift from France in 1886. The boat passes the South Street Seaport Historic District, known for some of downtown Manhattan's oldest buildings, then sails under the Brooklyn Bridge, which features 276-foot high limestone and granite towers. The route continues through New York Harbor, providing views of One World Trade Center, the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere at 1,776 feet. The cruise also passes Ellis Island, which processed over 12 million immigrants between 1892 and 1954. Throughout the trip, a live guide provides commentary in English, sharing historical and factual information about the landmarks. Passengers can also download the Circle Line app for narration in nine additional languages (headphones required). The boat has indoor air-conditioning, outdoor deck space, restrooms, and free Wi-Fi. Food and drinks are available for purchase but are not included. The boat remains in motion throughout the cruise and does not dock at the Statue of Liberty or Ellis Island. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis, and early arrival is recommended to secure a spot.
