Sunset Cruise in New York

Sit back and enjoy the impressive skyline whilst sailing in the direction of the Statue of Liberty. It’s a perfect way to relax after a day of shopping and the tour guides entertain you with the facts and history of New York City. When the sunset boat tour departs, do not forget to look back to see the Brooklyn Bridge behind you.

Admire the views, which become even more stunning after twilight when all of the lights around you begin to twinkle! Once the boat gets close to the Statue of Liberty, you will be able to take a picture with the Lady, before heading back to Lower Manhattan.

Eric’s Tip: “If you want to eat before or after the evening cruise, head to South Street Seaport or Pier 17. Stone Street, which is a 10-minute walk away, is also a great option. This small street is packed with restaurants.”
