Overview

Join us for an exciting Statue of Liberty, the symbol of New York. You will disembark at Ellis Island to visit the Immigration Museum. The tour will start at the indicated time in front of the picturesque SeaGlass Carousel, in the heart of Battery Park. Once gathered, we will hear a brief historical introduction about New York and the port area, and head to security checkpoint, which we will pass with priority access.

At that point, we will board the official ferry operated by Statue City Cruises, the only one allowed to land on Liberty Island and Ellis Island. During the crossing, which lasts about 15–20 minutes, we will enjoy a great view of the Manhattan skyline and New York Harbor.

Once we arrive at Liberty Island, we will begin the guided tour outside the majestic Statue of Liberty. Here, we will discover hidden symbols in its design and the deep meaning it had for millions of immigrants.

Frequently Asked Questions

(8)

Q: Will I get seasick on Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island Tour?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
