Q&A

Q: What happens if it rains on the day of the cruise?

A: The Circle Line cruises operate rain or shine, but they do have indoor seating available, so you won't miss the views! If there's severe weather, they might reschedule the cruise, and they'll notify you via email. Just keep an eye on the weather forecast and dress accordingly. I went on a cloudy day, and it was still an amazing experience.

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on the cruise?

A: No age limits here! Kids are totally welcome and they usually have a blast. Just make sure to keep an eye on them on the outdoor deck since it can get windy. They’ll love the sights and the live narration, especially the stories about the Statue of Liberty.

Q: What should I wear for the cruise?

A: Dress in layers! It can get chilly on the water, especially if you’re outside. A light jacket is a good idea. If you plan to sit outdoors, comfortable shoes are a must since you'll want to walk around and enjoy the views. Sunglasses and sunscreen are definitely recommended too!

Thinking of gifting the Circle Line cruise - is it worth it?

I’m considering buying a pair of tickets for the Circle Line Complete Manhattan Island Cruise as a gift for my parents. I’ve heard it’s a great way to see the city from the water. Is the narration really informative? And is the premium seating worth the extra cost? Any tips?

Just went on the Circle Line cruise and it was amazing!

I took the Circle Line cruise last weekend, and wow, what an experience! The views of the skyline are unbeatable. I loved the live narration too; it made everything so much more interesting. We opted for the standard seating, and honestly, it was great. I think it’s a perfect gift for anyone visiting NYC!
