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.
