See the Manhattan Skyline
Hudson Yards is New York’s newest neighborhood and home to more than 100 diverse shops, culinary experiences and attractions The Edge and The Vessel.
The extraordinary centerpiece of Hudson Yards is its spiral staircase, a soaring new landmark. This interactive artwork was imagined by Thomas Heatherwick and Heatherwick Studio as a focal point where people can enjoy new perspectives of the city and one another from different heights, angles and vantage points.
Pass by the Jacob Javits Convention Center
Little Island at Pier 55 is an artificial island park in the Hudson River designed by Heatherwick Studio. Little Island covers 2.4 acres and is supported by 132 pot-shaped structures (called "tulips") suspended above the water, which in turn stand on 280 concrete pilings extending into the riverbed.
One World Trade Center is the main building of the rebuilt World Trade Center complex in Lower Manhattan.

Governors Island is a 172-acre island in New York Harbor, within the New York City borough of Manhattan. It is located approximately 800 yards south of Manhattan Island, and is separated from Brooklyn to the east by the 400-yard-wide Buttermilk Channel.

Had a great time on the cruise! Debbie was very informative & knowledgeable, a true comedian. Would definitely come back again! 😁
We had a great time!! Debbie was our tour guide and she couldn’t have been any more amazing!! Gave us all the history and knew everything!! Make our trip worth while. Definitely would come back!
Perfect boat ride- not too long- wonderful views! We are always worried if we will get sea sick- not on this large vessel. Smooth sailing!
Nathan was our guide for this trip and it was a wonderful trip. A different way to experience the Statue. It was a quick 1hr round trip so can definitely be accomplished in a tight schedule. Will definitely recommend others
Debbie was a great guide! Her knowledge and personal touch really added to the experience
The staff were incredibly rude- ruined what could have been a great experience

Was fun and debby the tour guide gave lots of interesting info and was fun to listen to.
Awesome. Andy was full of knowledge, and kept me interested, which is a challenge for most. Perfect weather didn't hurt.
Fantastic way to see the coast line of the city and cruise right by the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. We loved it! Only took an hour which was great and didn't cut into much of our time for sightseeing that day. Our guide was Alexis and she was fantastic!
The cruise was overall very very informative, we have learnt a lot about the history of the river, of the significant buildings, however the description sounded more promising. We ended up seeing only a few significant sights of Hudson Yards and Manhattan. The crew was very helpful and kind. Finally, the close look at Lady Liberty was worth it all!
