The whole route is followed by an interesting urban and historical landscape. But what struck me most were the bridges. They are gigantic and beautiful. An exquisite piece of architecture. The guide also charmed me with his didacticism and empathy. But overall, the whole crew was very polite from start to finish. I'll treasure this trip for the rest of my life. It marked the beginning of our engagement. I was proposed to on board the ship.

The Museum of 'emigration is of definite interest Also good is the film. Less good is the audio guide commentary that sometimes trivializes the theme with superficial comments. A bit complicated receiving tickets after payment. Your app confuses between new offerings and the excursion already paid for.

Top things to do in New York

Things to know before booking your tickets

  • The only way to get to the Statue of Liberty is by ferry. Round-trip ferry rides to Liberty Island and Ellis Island are included in your tickets.
  • Keep in mind that the ferry transfer is different from the cruise. The ferry is primarily designed as transport to Liberty Island, where you can visit the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. The cruise will take you around the harbor near both islands but you will not be able to disembark at either of them.
