Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises - Midtown

Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises at Pier 83 is a staple of the Hudson River waterfront that traces its roots back to 1945. The company was formed by a group of partners who combined several competing boat operators to create a unified fleet focused entirely on showing the city from the water. Before these organized tours, circumnavigating Manhattan was a rare luxury, but the completion of the Harlem Ship Canal in 1905 made it possible to turn the island into a complete sightseeing route.
