How to choose

Ticket questions

Do I need to book in advance?

Yes. Crown access for the Statue of Liberty requires strict advance reservations. These tickets sell out months early. Sightseeing cruises also sell out during summer weekends.

Are bags allowed on the boats?

Sightseeing cruises allow small bags. Ferries to Liberty and Ellis Islands enforce strict rules. Large bags, luggage, and drones are strictly prohibited. Small lockers are available for a fee.

Does every cruise stop at the Statue of Liberty?

No. Only Statue City Cruises provide landing access to Liberty and Ellis Islands. Other sightseeing boats sail near the islands for photos but do not let passengers off.

What a great way to take in some spectacular views while also getting brunch. The food was average, but in an above average setting.

Excellent food, views, staff and tour. Absolutely recommend. I’ve never been all the way around the island before. Stunning
Lynda_S2026-08Viator
This visit was amazing. Our guide, James was outstanding. Not only an excellent, comprehensive presenter/guide, but very personable, very witty and very humorous. I would definitely look for him to be our guide for any other upcoming visits.
