Circle Line New York Harbour Lights Cruise

Book the New York harbour lights cruise and marvel at the Manhattan skyline and Statue of Liberty as the sun sets over the city. There is a special atmosphere on board as everyone is moved by the sites of Manhattan and of course entertained by the running commentary. If you are looking for a memorable tour in New York, then I recommend the Circle Line: New York Harbour Lights cruise.

Lady Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge

One of the highlights of this 2 hour cruise is certainly the guide. Hear interesting, informative and entertaining anecdotes and facts about the city. If you want to hear everything properly, I recommend that you sit inside. If you are viewing the sites from the deck outside, it can be a little difficult to hear the guide due to the wind and chatter from fellow passengers. Alternatively, you can download the free multilingual audio guide app.

Remember to also head outside on time to see Lady Liberty in all her glory – up close and personal. Don’t forget to take a coat, it can get very chilly, even in the summer. Have your camera ready to photograph the impressive Brooklyn Bridge as you pass under it. Drinks, food and souvenirs are available for purchase on board.

Eric’s Tip: “Another cruise you can take is the Hudson River Dinner Cruise. This option costs a bit more, but you can enjoy Mexican food and a drink along the way. Sail by the Statue of Liberty, the Manhattan skyline and many other famous landmarks.”
