Was curious about how long it took to go by the Statue of Liberty and get to the Verrazano Bridge.

Will be leaving in June on the Breakaway, and departure time is 4PM.

TIA!

 

About 30 minutes to the statue of liberty and 45 minutes to get to the bridge.

Have a great cruise.

It's a wonderful journey down the Hudson. You can view the NYC skyline from the left or port side of the ship. You'll pass Midtown, The Chrysler Bldg., the Empire State Bldg. and later the Freedom Tower and Ground Zero area from that side.

 

On the starboard or right side, you'll see Jersey City, several ferry and train depots, and the Statue of Liberty. People will be taking photos of Lady Liberty as you approach, but if you want a photo showing her full face, snap off a few after you pass the Statue.

 

There aren't many better sailaways than this.

It will vary by the amount of traffic on the Hudson. I have done a couple cruises out of Manhattan with NCL and watch the webcam's on weekends. To the Statute of Liberty it's usually between 30 and 40 minutes. To go under the bridge it is usually between 45 minutes and 1 hour. If there is not a lot of traffic and they can get good speed it will be the shorter times. If it is busy on the Hudson then it will be more towards the longer times.
