OPENED: Statue of Liberty Boat and Ellis Island 60 Min Sightseeing Cruise

This is an amazing way to see NY and, especially, the Statue of Liberty and bridges. This is a view you won't get from the streets. I appreciated the information given over the loud speaker about the various buildings as we passed them and about the history of NY. I recommend the upper level for the best views and get there early to get the best spots among the railing. Our cruise was not over crowded. People did take off or lower their masks to take pics and talk, FYI, regardless of the staff making it very clear they shouldn't and their attempts to enforce it. I highly recommend a boat cruise.

The tour of the Statue of Liberty was really great and the tour guide was informative. However the boat smelled so bad we couldn’t sit inside. Between the bags of garbage on the back deck and the toilets that were backed up it was nauseating. I’m familiar with boats and holding tanks. This was neglected maintenance. I would recommend a different tour boat for this reason We were on the princess boat.

Great trip. just under the hour we got great views of the statue of liberty, our guide was lovely and fun

George the captain did a great job with history and explanations of the area and things we were passing by.

Excellent. Prior to visit, did not realize I had paid for two boat cruies. Was not overcrowded, able to get great views of Hudson River.

Great Tour, staff was pleasant and amazing l! Fortunately the crowd that was on the tour with us was very overbearing and had no sense of personal space! They would lean on you, hit you and nearly knock you over just to get a picture. Not sure if it was just the cultural difference or what. Besides that the views were amazing

This was an average tour that was quite disappointing when finished. The 60 minute timeline says approx. but from the time the boat moved to the time we docked was 40 minutes. So this means we actually out on the water for less than that. I felt we weren’t ever close to the 100 feet of the Statue of Liberty when cruising by. I did like that they slowed down when seeing each landmark but as an overall experience my family and I were very disappointed. On top of all that the first worker we approached when showing our tickets was extremely rude. I would not go on this tour again and I would definitely not recommend to anyone.

the cruise was great but the pier was totally unfoundable. It was not written on the voucher, we tried 3 differents piers before the right one and walk about 5km! Awful !

I so appreciated the staff at the office! I had two elderly people in group of 17. We arrived 15 minutes before the office opened on a COLD morning. She allowed the two to come in and wait. Once it was officially open, we went in and redeemed the voucher and went back to wait. A few minutes before boarding a HUGE group of people arrived that packed the small room. The office lady came told one of my daughters she would let us board a little early and she did. As I watched the other group come aboard, we would have never been able to get the two elderly plus our 4 year old as well. THANK YOU, Viator for making our trip successful. The only complaint I might have was I did not realize we needed to be listening to our recorders BEFORE we left dock. Our guide was always way behind where we were so I was never really sure what I was looking at.

I ordered the boat cruise plus the statue of liberty and Ellis island tickets. Only after paying did I learn that they were seperate boat rides. I wish I would have waited and bought my tickets through the national parks service.
