Overview

Start on an unforgettable journey sailing on a scenic boat cruise at sunset. Feel the wind in your hair as vibrant sunset colors paint the sky while cruising around Manhattan. Gaze at the NYC skyline and landmarks, each bathed in the setting sun's warm glow.

Choose a seat either on the outdoor or indoor decks, then sit back and relax as you enjoy the onboard narration, music and a full cash bar with snacks.

Enjoy panoramic views of Lower Manhattan, including the Brooklyn Bridge, One World Trade Center, South Street Seaport, and Battery Park. Sail past Ellis Island, where for many years immigrants landed in New York.

Then get within touching distance of "Lady Liberty" where the boat will pause to allow you to take photos of this famous entry point to New York City as the sun sets behind it.

As you return pass Governor’s Island, Brooklyn, the Manhattan Bridge and take in views of the Empire State Building having created unforgettable memories.

What To Expect

Statue of Liberty (Pass By)

The Statue of Liberty is an iconic symbol of freedom and democracy located on Liberty Island in New York Harbor. It was a gift from the people of France to the United States and was dedicated on October 28, 1886. Designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and built by Gustave Eiffel, the statue stands at 305 feet (93 meters) from the base to the tip of the torch. It represents Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom, and holds a torch above her head and a tablet inscribed with the date of the American Declaration of Independence in her left arm. The statue has welcomed millions of immigrants to the United States and has become one of the most recognizable symbols of American freedom and democracy worldwide.
