Do I need to print my ticket?

No. A mobile ticket on your phone is accepted at the boarding gate. A screenshot works fine if you are concerned about connectivity at the pier.

How early do I need to arrive?

Plan to arrive at Pier 83 at least 45–60 minutes before your booked departure time. Security checks are required for all passengers, and boarding begins 30 minutes before the boat leaves — it will depart on schedule.

Can I choose my seat on board?

Seating on the boat is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis once you board, so arriving earlier gives you a better pick of indoor or outdoor spots.

Is the cruise wheelchair accessible?

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

Children under 3 travel free of charge, but a complimentary ticket must still be collected for them at the box office before boarding.

Is food available on board?

Yes. The boat has a café and a full-service bar serving sandwiches, salads, snacks, hot drinks, beer, wine, and cocktails — all available to purchase during the cruise.
