Experience the most beautiful skyline in the world at the most beautiful time, New York City at Sunset!
Boarding from our Downtown Location at Pier 16 South Street Seaport, sail away on New York’s newest after-hours cruise giving locals and tourists alike the most up-close view of Lady Liberty in front of the most breathtaking and colorful sunsets in the world. This newest evening cruise in the Circle Line fleet allows you to witness more than just the Statue at Sunset— expect to be hypnotized by the glowing panoramic views of Lower Manhattan, the Brooklyn Bridge, the New York Harbor and more in just ninety minutes!
If you’re looking to indulge in the beauty of New York on the water without looking like a tourist, this is the one for you! Our Statue at Sunset cruise is the only cruise in the Circle Line line-up that focuses not on a narrated tour but instead just good music, good drinks courtesy of Cobble Fish, and good vibes on our smaller private vessels.
For cruisers looking for a tour-guided sunset cruise, we recommend our Harbor Lights cruise departing from our Midtown Pier 83 location.
