Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ticket?
No. Your mobile ticket is accepted at the boarding gate — a screenshot or your booking app is fine.
Can I cancel or change my booking?
Cancellation and amendment terms depend on the option selected at checkout. The Beast speedboat rides that are cancelled due to rain can be rebooked or refunded. Check the cancellation policy shown before you confirm your booking.
Will the cruise actually stop at the Statue of Liberty?
All Circle Line cruises pause directly in front of the Statue of Liberty for photos. The boat does not dock at Liberty Island — if you want to go ashore, you would need a separate Statue of Liberty ferry ticket.
Is the cruise wheelchair accessible?
Wheelchair access is available on the first floor of all vessels except The Beast speedboat.
Can I choose my seat on the boat?
Seat location is first-come, first-served once you board. Your reserved ticket guarantees your place on the cruise, not a specific seat.
Is The Beast suitable for children or people with health conditions?
Children under 3 or shorter than 102 cm cannot ride The Beast, and it is not recommended for pregnant people or those with heart conditions or back injuries. All other Circle Line cruises welcome children under 3 free of charge, though a box office ticket is still required for them.
