FAQ

Frequently asked

Quick answers on booking, access and what to expect.

No. Circle Line sightseeing cruises pass the Statue of Liberty but do not dock at Liberty Island. To visit the statue up close, you need the Statue City Cruises ferry from Battery Park. The Circle Line cruise gives you close-up views from the water.
