NYC Statue
Boat Cruises

Our sightseeing cruises sail within 100 feet of the Statue of Liberty, providing incredible close-up views and photo opportunities. You'll see remarkable detail — from the patina texture to the tablet inscription.

Yes! Our Ellis Island & Ferry tours include round-trip ferry tickets to both Liberty Island and Ellis Island. You'll walk the grounds, visit the museum, and see the statue up close on foot. Sightseeing cruises do not land — they pass by at close range.

Most cruises depart from Battery Park in Lower Manhattan (Pier 36 and adjacent docks). Some midtown and evening cruises depart from piers along the Hudson River. Exact departure details are on each tour page and in your confirmation email.

Sightseeing cruises circle the Statue of Liberty and Manhattan without stopping — perfect for photos and narrated commentary. Ferry tours actually dock at Liberty Island and Ellis Island so you can explore on foot with audio guides or a live guide.

Cruises operate rain or shine. In severe weather (high winds, thunderstorms), we will reschedule at no charge or issue a full refund. All boats have covered, climate-controlled cabins for comfort in any conditions.
