Sail across the waters of New York’s harbor to Liberty Island. Learn the history of Lady Liberty from your expert guide and explore the Statue of Liberty Museum. Then, head to Ellis Island to discover the stories of the millions of immigrants who journeyed through this historic site.
Begin your day at The Battery (formerly known as Battery Park) – the historical gateway to Lady Liberty.
Then, board a morning ferry, ensuring you avoid the swelling afternoon crowds, and sail away from Manhattan to greet the Statue of Liberty.
It is here your guide will dive deep into the story of how Lady Liberty came to be. As you tour the island, your guide – an expert in setting the stage, creating the scene, and invoking your imagination – will share the incredible historical facts that fuel your understanding of just how important this monument truly is.
Take in beautiful views of the famed New York skyline, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the surrounding environs. Wander through the Statue of Liberty Museum and stand mere feet from Lady Liberty’s original torch!
After the Statue of Liberty, board the short ferry to Ellis Island – another mammoth site in the history of the United States. Your guide sets the tone with a brief introduction and provides recommendations on how to get the most from your visit.
Then you can explore this special place at your own pace. Knowing how touching Ellis Island can be, we give everyone time to wander the site, enjoy the official audioguide, search the passenger records for family names, or pause for a quick bite to eat at the popular cafeteria. You are also welcome to return on the ferry with your guide.
