A wonderful start to our visit to New York City! The boat was well organised (not overcrowded) and seeing the Statue of Liberty lit up at night was a sight to behold!

The sights were beautiful but we could not hear a word the person was saying over the speakers. He was telling what different places were, but we were sitting on the main top deck and could not hear anything. We feel like we missed a lot of information that would have been nice to know.

Although Circle Line involves large boats with many hundreds of tourists they're certainly good value in relative terms given the Cruise length & number of sites visited. We looked into the smaller operators all of whom were another $30-40 per head but timings weren't as good & the premium not worth it. Our boat was packed but everyone enjoyed a warm summer cruise & the commentary ensures you don't miss anything important
