The Route
What You'll See
Every cruise passes through New York's most breathtaking waterfront landmarks — here are the highlights you'll experience from the water.
Brooklyn Bridge
Sail beneath the gothic arches of this 1883 masterpiece, its suspension cables framing the Lower Manhattan skyline.
One World Trade Center
The tallest building in the Western Hemisphere rises 1,776 feet — a beacon of resilience dominating the downtown skyline.
Empire State Building
An Art Deco icon since 1931, its changing color displays are best viewed from the water at sunset and after dark.
Statue of Liberty
Every cruise passes within 100 feet of Lady Liberty — close enough to see the torch gleaming and the crown's rays in detail.
