The Experience
See one of the world’s most recognizable landmarks on a fast and convenient sightseeing cruise with your NYC: Statue of Liberty Express Skip-the-Box-Office Cruise.
Your cruise departs from Pier 16 at South Street Seaport in Downtown Manhattan. After boarding, you’ll set out on a round-trip journey through New York Harbor with views of the city skyline from both indoor cabins and open-air decks. Along the route, you’ll pass the Brooklyn Bridge, One World Trade Center and Governor’s Island while enjoying live English commentary from an experienced guide.
As the boat approaches the Statue of Liberty, it slows and pauses nearby, giving you time to take photos and enjoy unobstructed views from the water. You’ll also sail past Ellis Island, once the busiest immigration station in the United States, while learning about its role in American history. The entire cruise lasts approximately 50 minutes, making it an efficient option for visitors with limited time.
The boat features temperature-controlled cabins with large panoramic windows, as well as spacious outdoor areas for sightseeing. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis, and there is no assigned seating.
