About this tour

See New York Harbor from the water on a 90-minute cruise aboard a 1920s-style yacht. This New York City Statue of Liberty and skyline cruise offers a fresh perspective on Manhattan’s west side, with room to enjoy the views from the open bow or settle into the climate-controlled, glass-enclosed observation cabin.

Depart from Pier 62 at Chelsea Piers and cruise along the Hudson River toward the harbor. Along the way, take in the Financial District, Ellis Island, and the Statue of Liberty, with Manhattan’s skyline rising behind them. One complimentary beverage is included, and comfortable salon seating gives you a place to relax between photo stops. The boat’s route does not guarantee a pass by the Brooklyn Bridge.

Check in at the Classic Harbor Line ticket booth before boarding. For a memorable look at New York’s waterfront landmarks, book your New York City Statue of Liberty and skyline cruise and enjoy the city from the harbor.
