JERSEY CITY, NJ — Circle Line Cruises is offering a crop of new and re-launched cruises this summer.

The annual 4th of July Cruise is back on this year and features a DJ and a cash bar concession stand, the cruise sails over the Hudson and past the Statue of Liberty with the perfect view to watch the fireworks fall. Circle Line is also introducing the all-new Liberty Super Express on June 9. The new cruise zips past Lady Liberty and right back to New York City again, with round-trip cruises from Battery Park, in 40 minutes.

The classic Liberty Cruise will return, and a new cruise named The Beast joins the roster this season as well, which lasts 30 minutes.
