Description:

See Lady Liberty up close from a comfortable seat aboard the New York Water Taxi on this evening cruise. Relax with a cocktail and have your camera ready to capture the landmarks and city lights under the evening sky.

As you step aboard the water taxi, you can enjoy a glass of prosecco and head upstairs to the open deck in clear weather to feel the wind in your hair. Both the deck and the main cabin afford some great photo opportunities, so admire the view as the vessel slips out of dock.

To your left, the majestic Brooklyn Bridge looms over the city along with the Brooklyn Promenade as you cruise through the mouth of the East River. Next, you head south around the tip of Lower Manhattan, up the Hudson and past the iconic World Trade Center complex. Across the water, you can see the neon lights of the historic octagonal Colgate Clock in Jersey City.

A turn to the south brings you closer to Ellis Island, and you can reflect on what life was like in the 1800s for the immigrants who walked through its buildings to arrive in America for the first time. The boat slows down in front of the Statue of Liberty so you can capture some fantastic photos accompanied by Frank Sinatra's iconic ode to the city, “New York, New York.”

Keep your camera handy, as the boat pivots to pass the downtown skyline once more on its return trip up the East River. From here, all 3 bridge crossings between Brooklyn and Manhattan come into view, with the Empire State Building off in the distance.
