About this experience
The New York Golden Hour Cruise is a two-hour sightseeing cruise along the waters surrounding Manhattan, departing from 455 12th Avenue and timed to coincide with sunset. The route passes a sequence of New York landmarks including One World Trade Center, the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Little Island Park, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the Empire State Building, all viewed from the water as natural light shifts across the skyline. A live guide provides commentary throughout, with background music playing onboard. The vessel has both indoor and outdoor seating areas, and an onboard bar sells snacks and drinks, though these are not included in the ticket price. Roundtrip bus transportation to and from the departure point is included, as is access to the two-hour cruise itself. Note that tickets do not cover entry to Liberty Island or any other landmarks along the route. The cruise operates with wheelchair access, and cancellations are accepted before the scheduled timeslot.
