Book the Statue of Liberty sightseeing cruise for the best views of Lady Liberty from the water — a harbor cruise from Pier 40 past the Statue and the Lower Manhattan skyline (it does not dock). We hold your card and charge only once your booking is confirmed.
Prices below are the operator's published starting prices (verified with the operator): adults shown; children 4–12 are a few dollars less and children 3 and under are free. The exact price varies by date and sailing — we confirm your total at checkout and never invent a number.
Honest picture: the operator's public Tripadvisor listing holds 2.6/5 across 519 reviews (#120 of 199 NYC boat tours), shown with attribution. Boat-tour scores are often dragged down by boarding waits and crowding rather than the views — and remember this cruise passes the Statue but does not land. If walking on Liberty Island matters to you, the Statue City Cruises ferry is the better pick. Where it shines is the on-the-water photos of Lady Liberty and the skyline; we focus on booking you the right sailing and tier. Verified reviews from See City Tours travelers will appear here after their trips — never fabricated.
No. It's a sightseeing cruise that sails the harbor and passes close to the Statue of Liberty for photos, but it does not land. To set foot on Liberty Island and Ellis Island, book the official Statue City Cruises ferry instead.
Standard admission is the sightseeing cruise with open-deck views. Premium adds priority boarding, a guaranteed seat, and access to all decks — handy on busy sailings.
Pier 40, at 353 West Street (at Houston Street) in Lower Manhattan. Arrive about 15 minutes before your sailing time.
The Statue of Liberty up close from the water, the Lower Manhattan skyline led by One World Trade Center, and the harbor. Sailings run through the day, and the late-afternoon and sunset sailings give the best light.
The operator's published prices start at $39 for adult Standard (kids 4–12 from $35) and $49 for adult Premium (kids from $45); children 3 and under are free. Prices vary by date and sailing, and we confirm your exact total at checkout.
Your card is authorized as a hold when you book. We capture payment only after we confirm your sailing, and release the hold if we can't.
