ZEPHYR Seaport Liberty Cruise

Cruising through the waters off Manhattan, you’ll feel the exhilaration that can only be found in the Big Apple. A cruise aboard Circle Line’s ZEPHYR will be just as special for international guests as it will for Americans, who will swell with pride as they envision their ancestors arriving by ship to these same waters centuries ago before entering with the masses via Ellis Island.

Circle Line Downtown’s ZEPHYR cruise leaves from Pier 16 at South Street Seaport. Visible from the cruise will be such sites as: the infamous Brooklyn Bridge; Governors Island- a 172 acre island that lies a half mile from the southern tip of Manhattan; the Statue of Liberty (did you know it was presented to the United States as a gift from France in 1869?); the former immigration gateway of Ellis Island; the Chrysler Building; the World Financial Center; the Woolworth Center- one of the city’s most recognizable and famous skyscrapers; and Battery Park, a beautiful 25-acre public space at the southern tip of Manhattan.

On a beautiful day, position yourself on the sun deck to feel the breeze in your hair as you gently sail along, or on cooler days, opt to view the city from the comfort of the inside cabins, which are filled with plush seating and a variety of climate control options. Enjoy a snack or a drink at one of the two onboard refreshment centers.

Circle Line Downtown offers the quintessential New York experience, and ZEPHYR is its most refined option. Great for adults but also a fun time for children, the boat departs from its home pier six times a day from April to October, and five times a day from November to March. Don’t pass up an opportunity to see a different side of New York City on your visit, and climb aboard the one-of-a-kind yacht that will send you home with great maritime memories and photographs to boot!
