New York's harbour cruises depart from piers along the Hudson River and offer views of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, the Manhattan skyline, the Brooklyn Bridge and Governors Island. Circle Line operates the most popular sightseeing cruises, from 50-minute express trips past the Statue of Liberty to 90-minute landmark cruises and full island circumnavigations. Dining cruises from City Cruises and Bateaux serve lunch, dinner and brunch with floor-to-ceiling windows and live views of the skyline. Circle Line also runs a speedboat ride past the Statue of Liberty for a faster, more adrenaline-fuelled option.
