NEW YORK HARBOUR CRUISE – ENDING AT JFK AND LGA AIRPORT
Excursion details
Experience the city known as the Big Apple in memorable fashion before your flight out, by taking this sightseeing excursion of around five hours, which also includes a scenic cruise. Afterwards you’ll be driven straight to the airport for your flight.
Begin with an approximately 60-minute drive from the pier through Midtown Manhattan to 42nd Street, a hub of life and activity and packed with New York landmarks and theatres. During the journey you’ll pass through storied neighbourhoods, such as SoHo (which stands for ‘South of Houston Street’) and its many smart boutiques, Greenwich Village (beloved by musicians and artists) and the Financial District. Commentary from your onboard guide will help you learn more about these areas as you pass them.
You’ll arrive at Pier 83 on Manhattan’s west side and spend around 30 minutes boarding your ferry, before an approximately one-hour cruise of New York’s waterways begins.
During the cruise you’ll see other famous attractions – again aided by guided commentary – including the Empire State Building, One World Trade Center (the tallest building in both the United States and the wider western hemisphere at over 541 metres), Staten Island and historic Ellis Island, as well as the neighboring state of New Jersey. A highlight for many will be sailing directly past the front of the Statue of Liberty, a gift from France in 1885 that has become a world-famous symbol of the city.
After the boat trip ends, disembark and continue the scenic driving tour, lasting around 90 minutes in total. During this final part of the tour, you’ll make a short stop at another famous construction, Rockefeller Center (not just a building but an entire complex covering 8.9 hectares), where you’ll be able to grab a few photos.
Once the scenic drive is complete, you’ll be driven directly to both JFK and LaGuardia airports on a transfer lasting approximately one hour.
Important Information: the sequence of the tour may vary depending on local traffic conditions. This tour ends at the airport for guests who are disembarking. The duration of the tour also includes the time for transfer to the airport, which is approximately 1 hour. The transfers to the airport may take more than 1 hour depending on traffic conditions and tour routes taken.
To book and prepay this tour before your cruise, please use code NWY04D if you will be disembarking in New York. The NWY04D tour is intended for guests who are booked on a flight from John F. Kennedy Airport with domestic flights departing after 17:00 hours/5:00pm and guests with international flights departing after 18:00 hours/6:00pm. Due to local regulations, regardless of flight departure time, guests will be requested to leave the ship upon arrival in port. Depending on the flight schedule, guests with evening departures may be dropped off at the airport a few hours earlier than the typical 2-3 hour window before their flight.
This could result in an extended wait at the airport; therefore, we recommend planning accordingly. Total time spent at Rockefeller Center is subject to change depending on local traffic conditions
