A must-see in New York, there must be the popular Statue of Liberty! Founded in 1945, Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises, as a cruise company specializing in water sightseeing in New York Harbor, provides water tour products that are popular with native Americans, and uses spacious and stable ships to ensure the comfort of tourists during the cruise. With more than 70 years of experience in the Hudson River, this time we will take you to the water surface about thirty meters from the Statue of Liberty, and admire the tall Statue of Liberty and her bright torch from close range. Satisfy your desire to take a photo with her from an angle, which cannot be found on land! Apart from the Circle Line sightseeing cruise, no other sightseeing cruise in New York City offers a closer view of the tall Statue of Liberty and her bright torch in her hand. We'll take you to just 100 feet of water in front of the Statue of Liberty, giving you the chance to take pictures with her from angles you won't find on land. With our guide, you can also learn about the hidden side of the goddess. For example, did you know that her body was modeled after the artist Bartholdi's mistress, while her face was a reference to his mother's? The next time you communicate with your friends, tell them the stories behind these goddesses. The Circle Line and the New York Historical Society have prepared rich and interesting explanations in eight languages, including Chinese. Plus, we'll show you the sights and landmarks along the harbour so you can feel like a true New Yorker right off the boat.
