Landmarks Cruise

Your pass provides admission to this 1.5-hour cruise, which gives you unparalleled views of Manhattan so you can fill your social media with plenty of envy-inducing snaps. Plus, the live narration means you won’t miss any interesting tidbits about your watery surroundings. You’ll sail past the world-famous Statue of Liberty, swing by historic Ellis Island, and sail right to the Brooklyn Bridge.

Circle Line NYC Landmark Cruise highlights

• The Statue of Liberty

  She needs no introduction, but here's a fun fact - Lady Liberty was constructed piece by piece in France and then shipped across the Atlantic.

• Ellis Island Museum

  This gateway to the United States shuffled millions of immigrants through its bureaucratic documentation center between 1892 and 1954. But after 1924 when the initial swells of seafaring immigrants had died down, Ellis Island became a deportation and detention processing station.

• Brooklyn Bridge

  This feat of structural engineering is one of the oldest suspension bridges in the United States built from limestone, granite, and cement. It connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn over the East River.

• Empire State Building

  Instantly recognizable by its characteristic Art Deco architecture, the Empire State Building towers above the skyline from the waters around Manhattan, all 102 floors of it.

• Chrysler Building

  Another Art Deco landmark that sits at the crossroads of 42nd and Lexington. This building’s history shows something of a rivalry in the “race to the top” in the early days of skyscrapers. The Chrysler Building held the record as the tallest building for nearly a year before the construction of the Empire State Building was completed.

• United Nations

  The headquarters of the United Nations grace this prestigious location in the Big Apple, serving as a hub of international decision-making, peacekeeping talks, and other important matters that affect international relations across the globe.

• Circle Line was established in 1945, so they have been in business for over 70 years.

• In April 1985, the then-mayor of New York, Ed Koch, named April 23rd as Circle Line Day.

• In September 2008, the Circle Line Manhattan had a naming ceremony that honored Whoopi Goldberg as godmother.

• Live narration detailing the history of everything you see.

• 90-minute cruise around Manhattan.

• Views of the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, and the Chrysler Building.
