Hotel Country Inn & Suites by Radisson Staten Island

NYC Ferry operated by City Experiences serves multiple routes throughout the harbor, while Staten Island Ferry provides free service specifically between Manhattan and Staten Island. NYC Ferry charges fares but offers more destinations and route options.

The East River route provides the most iconic Manhattan skyline views, passing landmarks like the Brooklyn Bridge and offering spectacular perspectives of Lower Manhattan. All routes offer unique viewpoints, but East River is considered the most scenic for first-time visitors.

While ferries don’t stop directly at Brooklyn Bridge, the Brooklyn Bridge Park/Pier 1 terminal provides excellent access to the bridge and surrounding area. This stop on the East River route offers spectacular bridge views and park access for tourists and photographers.
