About US New York landmark sightseeing cruise

Embark on an unforgettable New York City landmark sightseeing cruise that glides past the city's most iconic bridges and monuments. Whether you choose the daytime or evening departure, this cruise offers breathtaking views of the Statue of Liberty, One World Trade Center, and the glittering Manhattan skyline from the water.

Local Legends & Stories

The Statue of Liberty was a gift from France in 1886, symbolizing freedom and democracy, and has greeted over 200 million visitors arriving by sea. The three bridges on this cruise represent different eras of New York engineering — the Brooklyn Bridge (1883), Manhattan Bridge (1909), and Williamsburg Bridge (1903).

Must Do Experiences

  • Sail under three legendary bridges — Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Williamsburg — and marvel at their architectural grandeur

Hidden Gems

  • The best photo angles of the Statue of Liberty come from the starboard (right) side during the Hudson River leg

Perfect Timing
