Touristy, schmouristy...we love the Circle Line. Their boats and routes are designed so that visitors are able to get the most intimate view of our beautiful harbor, rain or shine, all year long. 

Here are three cruises that will take you up-close-and-personal with our famous skyline:

The Best of NYC cruise is the only one that completely circles Manhattan. At two and a half hours long, you'll see most of NYC's iconic landmarks, including One World Trade Center, the Brooklyn Bridge, the South Street Seaport and the Chrysler building. Tickets start at $49.

Their Landmarks Cruise is a shorter version of the Best Of--90 minutes. It's also more affordable, as prices start at $44.

The Harbor Lights Cruise sets sail in time for sunset--your chance to see our beautiful skyline illuminated at night. Tickets for the two-hour trip start at $52.

Whichever cruise you decide to take, know that each stops at the Statue of Liberty for a photo op and includes a tour guide, outdoor deck space, snacks and a full bar. They all take off from Pier 83 in Midtown, right off 42nd St.
