While technically not a traditional cruise, we felt compelled to pass along this piece of information anyway. New York’s Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises will debut two new sailings this summer. Circle Line Queens and Circle Line Brooklyn will begin to set sail within the next month, and to commemorate this momentous occasion they will host an all-day celebration. On Saturday June 20, Circle Line will offer a free block party at Pier 81, with a 1940’s-style carnival, which pays homage to the company that first set sail in 1945. The event will also include a barbeque, merry-go-round, carnival entertainers, and even free cruises to the Statue of Liberty. Both of the new cruises can hold up to 600 passengers and provides commuters with upgraded amenities, while keeping the classic feel on Circle Line intact.
