As far as I am concerned, this wonderful 1 ½ hour cruise around the bottom half of Manhattan is without a doubt the best attraction in all of New York City. The cruise allows you to take in the Manhattan skyline, get up close to the Statue of Liberty, pass historic landmarks like the USS Intrepid aircraft carrier, Ellis Island, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the financial district including the new World Trade Tower and Wall Street. And it’s a cruise! Not a bus. No traffic lights, no traffic jams. If you’re touring America, as I recently was with my Asian-born, second wife who has never been to America, this is an adventure NOT TO BE MISSED!
