Both cruise and observation deck visit can occur on separate days for added convenience.

How It Works

The validity of the 24, 48, or 72-hour tickets will correspond to the length of use. For instance, if you activate a 24-hour ticket on a Monday at 11 am, it remains valid until 11 am the following day. During this period, you can hop on and off the bus as you wish.

With the 1-day ticket, if first used on Monday at 11 am, you may travel until the end of that day at midnight but will not be able to use it again the next day until 11 am.

The 48-hour ticket grants access to a nightly tour departing from stop #1 (M&M's World) at two times around sunset. The 72-hour option includes both the Circle Line Liberty Cruise and the Circle Line Landmarks Cruise, which depart daily from Pier 83 (located at 42nd Street and Hudson River Park).

If you purchase the Empire State Building Observatory ticket option, you'll need to select a time for your visit after exchanging your sightseeing bus ticket, receiving your official ticket at that time.
