Do I need to print my ticket?

No. Your mobile ticket is accepted at the gate — a screenshot or live screen on your phone is fine.

What time does the cruise depart?

Departures are at 5:00 PM from 5 January to 5 March, and at 7:00 PM from 6 March to 4 January. Select your preferred date at checkout and the correct time will apply automatically.

How early do I need to arrive?

Plan to be at Pier 83 at least 45–60 minutes before departure to allow time for security. Boarding begins 30 minutes before the cruise leaves, and the boat departs promptly.

Is the cruise accessible for wheelchair users?

Yes. Wheelchair access is provided on the first floor of all Circle Line vessels.

Children under 3 travel free of charge, but you still need to obtain a complimentary admission ticket for them at the box office on the day.

What if the weather is bad?

The cruise operates in all weather conditions. Temperature-controlled indoor seating is available alongside the open deck, so you can choose where to sit based on conditions.
