With a 2:00 PM or later entry time, you'll likely have time to explore one island in full — either Liberty Island or Ellis Island, depending on your preference. We recommend choosing the one that interests you most to ensure a relaxed and enjoyable visit before the last return ferry of the day.
Nope, just one ticket covers it all! Your Statue City Cruises ferry ticket includes round-trip transportation to Liberty Island, Ellis Island, and back to your original departure point.
You’re free to visit both islands in one trip, all with the same ticket. Just keep in mind: once you return to either the New York or New Jersey dock and exit, the ticket can’t be reused for reentry.
No problem! We recommend staying on the ferry until it reaches the island you'd most like to explore. Just a heads-up—tickets include access to both islands, but partial refunds aren’t available if you choose to visit only one.
