Statue of Liberty- 5 Reasons Why Now‘s The Time for a Trip via Statue Cruises

As the ongoing public health crisis continues to impact travel and many individuals opt for day trips or road trips (depending on comfort levels), Statue Cruises- which operates the ferry service on behalf of the National Park Service to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, recently began operating service to the Statue of Liberty (Liberty Island outdoor grounds only) with plenty of room for guests to safely roam the island with strict protocols and guidelines in place.

For those who may be considering a brief road trip or a staycation, here are five reasons from Statue Cruises on why now might just be a good time to visit Liberty Island:

1. Alone Time with Lady Liberty - When can you visit the Statue of Liberty without the peak summer crowds.

2. The Great Outdoors - From the boat ride to Liberty Island to the acres of open space, everything is outside with plenty of room for safe social distancing.

3. Find Your Park & Parking – The Gateway to Liberty Island is from two spacious parks at Battery Park in lower Manhattan and Liberty State Park in Jersey City, NJ. For drivers, there’s plenty of parking at the Liberty State Park departure point.

4. Beat the Heat – The 30 to 40-minute roundtrip boat ride in New York Harbor is a breath of cool, open and fresh air.

5. Lean and Clean – With strict social distancing guidelines and cleaning protocols in place, including deep cleanings of vessels throughout each day, mask requirements and contactless transactions, Statue Cruises is taking all the necessary precautions to help keep guests safe on their journey to Liberty Island with its SafeCruise initiative across its operations.
