What To Expect
Statue of Liberty
During the 60-minute New York City sightseeing cruise, you enjoy the wonders of the New York Harbor. Departing from Pier 36, the Majestic Princess travels the East Side of Manhattan before sailing within close proximity to the Statue of Liberty. On our NYC cruise, enjoy the view of the iconic Brooklyn Bridge, South Street Sea Port, Freedom Towers, Ellis Island, and other well-known landmarks.
Ellis Island
Ellis Island is one of America’s most historic landmarks, known as the gateway for over 12 million immigrants who arrived in the U.S. between 1892 and 1954. Located in New York Harbor near the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island today is home to the Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration, where visitors can explore powerful exhibits that tell the story of America's immigrant roots. Seen from the water on your cruise, it stands as a moving symbol of hope, heritage, and new beginnings.

1.00Well the boat never showed up. Contacted tour agent. They responded 3 days later. Contacted Viator they said they would refund me. Instead they booked me for another cruise 2 days later. This was after I left NY. Still waiting for a refund
Good tour but meeting point unclear
