1.Circle Line 2h Harbor Lights Cruise Skip-The-Box-Office

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 8,222 reviews · 2 hours · from $45Our pick

Review of Circle Line’s 2-hour Harbor Lights Cruise, with Statue of Liberty views, bridge passages, guide tips, pricing, and practical advice.

“Alexis our tour guide was very humerus and gave out a lot of detail about our destination and sights along the way. It was very windy and trying to get a photo of the Statue of Liberty was difficult as we were getting blown around as were our phones. This made for a great bit of humour. A lovely hot chocolate was purchased on board. It was a great way to see the city lit up and learn some facts about certain sights. A good couple of hours spent on this trip.”
