The crew was excellent. The music was really good and perfectly appropriate for the boat ride. Our tour guide Darius was the best. He really knew his history and was very friendly, very funny, and helpful, and best of all, he was an excellent singer and he sang "New York, New York" perfectly at the end of the tour on the way back to the pier!

On time, professional service. It was the first time in USA for dad and I took him to NYC. I am so glad we did with this tour company to Statue of Liberty. Everything was done on time in a professional manner. My 73 years old dad just loved the entire experience. I strongly recommended this company.

    A very beautiful view over the city. Especially recommended at night. The direct view without a pane of glass in between makes it special.

  • Save big with a combo ticket to two quintessential New York experiences: the Empire State Building and a sightseeing cruise to see the Statue of Liberty.

    Visit New York's most famous building

    Ascend the Empire State Building, a 102-story Art Deco masterpiece completed in 1931. From the 86th-floor observatory, 1,050 feet above street level, you'll get a bird's eye view of the city's grid layout. This National Historic Landmark has survived a B-25 bomber crash, starred in over 250 films, and held the title of the world's tallest building for four decades. Its innovative design, featuring setbacks to allow sunlight to reach the streets below, has influenced skyscraper architecture worldwide. As night falls, marvel at the building's crown illuminated by LEDs capable of displaying 16 million colors, a tradition started in 1976.

    Cruise the Hudson

    This 90-minute Hudson River cruise won't just take you through the city, but also its maritime history. Glide past the One World Trade Center, symbolizing the city's resilience, and under the Gothic Revival arches of the Brooklyn Bridge, an engineering marvel from 1883. Pause near the Statue of Liberty, a gift from France in 1886, standing as a beacon of hope for millions of immigrants who entered through nearby Ellis Island. This journey showcases New York's evolution from Dutch New Amsterdam to a global metropolis, revealing stories of immigrants, dock workers, and industries that shaped the city's identity. Elevate your cruise with snacks from the bar onboard at an extra cost and family-friendly activities.
