Hear local and international artists bring their own spins and rhythms with the new Circle Line Music Series for summer 2021 from Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises, featuring today’s hottest DJs through the season ahead. 

Circle Line Music Series

If ever there was a summer that called for dance parties, it’s this one. Groove to the sounds and let the music, waves, and good vibes transport you into the night, with a front row seat on the decks of Circle Line’s state-of-the-art Bronx-Class vessels and the most spectacular skyline in the world providing the light show. The route will be truly breathtaking, cruising right by the Statue of Liberty and other famous NYC Landmarks. 

Since its start in 1945, Circle Line has hosted over 80 million guests and is known as “America’s Favorite Boat Ride.” Circle Line operates from Pier 83, located in Hudson River Park on 42nd Street and the Hudson River, convenient to Times Square, the High Line, and Hudson Yards. 

All Circle Line Music Series cruises have first-class service, local and premium beer, wine, and spirits. Most of the Music Series cruises will have food options available for purchase at café-style dining outlets. The third-floor party deck will be the setting for gorgeous views of the city, Lady Liberty, and additional sights in every direction beyond.  

Boarding starts at 7 pm (unless otherwise indicated) at Pier 83 at West 42nd Street, with cruising from 8 pm to 12 am (unless otherwise indicated), rain or shine, with only limited seating available. Attendees must be ages 21+ to board and need not follow any special protocols except wearing masks indoors.
