Circle – Line Cruises NYC

We enjoyed our Circle Line cruises so much, we ended up doing three trips including the one at night. Thumbs up!

Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises is a company that offers boat tours of New York City. The company offers several different tour options, including a “Full Island Cruise” that goes around the entire island of Manhattan, a “Harbor Lights Cruise” that takes place in the evening and offers views of the city at night, and a “Landmarks Cruise” that focuses on the iconic landmarks of New York City. All of the tours are narrated by a guide who provides information about the sights along the way. Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises has been in business since 1945 and is a popular tourist attraction in New York City.

Statue of Liberty

I felt that the best views of the Statue of Liberty were from a Circle Line cruise.

The Statue of Liberty is a colossal neoclassical sculpture located on Liberty Island in New York Harbor. It was designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and built by Gustave Eiffel. The statue was dedicated on October 28, 1886 and was a gift to the United States from the people of France to commemorate the American Revolution and to celebrate the friendship between the two countries.

The statue depicts a woman holding a torch in her right hand and a tablet inscribed with the date of the Declaration of Independence in her left. The statue is made of copper sheets that were assembled over a framework of steel bars. It stands on a pedestal and is over 305 feet tall, including the pedestal and its base. The statue is located on Liberty Island, which is in the Upper New York Bay and is part of the state of New York.

The Statue of Liberty has become a symbol of the United States and is a popular tourist attraction. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
