Statue City Cruises



I took a trip to see the Statue of Liberty on May 19, 2021. It's $18.00 for seniors.

They seem to have changed their name from Statue Cruises to Statue City Cruises.

Their scan code says see statuecitycruises.com

Here's where I see I can get success buying tickets online, but I didn't end up doing that: https://www.cityexperiences.com/new-york/city-cruises/statue/cruises/new-york-reserve/


They offer a scan code so I could buy an online ticket while there, but I couldn't get it to work. Could have been my fault. So I went inside Castle Clinton and bought a paper ticket at around 10:20 am.

They let us board at 1015. So best to get the ticket at 10 and get on line right away to get a good seat
We departed exactly at 10:30. The trip to the statue was fifteen minutes


It goes to the statue first. I got off there.


The audio tour is included with the ticket, and it's worth picking up the device.


I Boarded again at 1215. It goes to Ellis island and then battery park. I didn't disembark at Ellis Island.


It departed at 12:20. It arrived at Ellis Island at 12:30 and departed at 12:35


It arrived at Battery Park at 12:48.
