Begin your journey with a 30-minute guided walking tour of Battery Park, where you’ll uncover the rich history and significance of the southern tip of Manhattan.

Afterward, enjoy priority boarding to the ferry, ensuring more time to explore and less time waiting. As you cross New York Harbor, marvel at Lady Liberty up close.

Next, sail to Ellis Island, once the gateway to America for millions of immigrants. Walk through the historic halls of the Ellis Island National Immigration Museum and immerse yourself in stories of hope, hardship, and new beginnings. You’ll have the option to either continue exploring at your own pace with audio guides or upgrade to a live guided tour that brings the personal stories of Ellis Island to life in English, Spanish, or French.
