DISCOVER BROOKLYN
Discover the distinct beauty, legacy, and charm of Brooklyn during a scenic, half-day excursion to this historic borough. Depart the pier for the approximately one-hour drive to Brooklyn. Upon arrival, enjoy a sightseeing journey through Brooklyn’s mosaic of ethnic and well-defined neighborhoods, where one out of every eight Americans can claim their ancestry. Experience the legacy of the Dutch Colonial period when these were distinct towns and villages with their own character.
Along the way, a photo stop is made at the Dumbo area, where cobblestone streets and converted Brooklyn warehouse buildings are the backdrop for independent boutiques, high-end restaurants, and trendy cafes. Your drive continues through Cobbie Hill, Carol Gardens, and charming Brooklyn Heights, which is nestled in ivy-covered brownstones and tree-lined streets. Stop for coffee and some free time in trendy Park Slope. Pass by the nearby famed Jewish Orthodox neighbourhood of Borough Park, along with the Caribbean immigrant enclave of Crown Heights. Some free time is also made available to explore artsy Williamsburg, a formerly industrial landscape transformed into a thriving art community. At the conclusion of your visit, re-board your coach and commence the approximately one-hour drive back to the pier.
Please note: This tour involves a minimal amount of walking at times over uneven and cobblestone surfaces, with a few steps to negotiate to get on/off the coach. Walking during free time is at the discretion of each guest. Guests are advised to wear lightweight, comfortable clothing with flat, closed-toe walking shoes, and bring a sweater or light jacket.
