July 3 Tall Ships Preview Cruise

A Once-in-a-Generation Event

Sail 250 is one of the most anticipated maritime celebrations in American history, marking 250 years since the nation's founding with a spectacular gathering of tall ships from around the world in New York Harbor.

On July 3, Circle Line gives you the best seat in the city before the official festivities begin. As the fleet makes its grand entrance into the harbor, you'll be on the water to witness it firsthand, with the Manhattan skyline, the Statue of Liberty, and the open harbor all around you.

What to Expect on Board

Depart from Pier 83 at 4:00 PM and spend 4.5 hours cruising through one of the most iconic stretches of water in the world. Our onboard narration covers the history of the tall ships, the significance of Sail 250, and the landmarks you'll pass along the way.

Full bar with beer, wine and cocktails plus light snacks and meals will be available for purchase. This is a standard ticket sailing with open seating on both indoor and outdoor decks.
