New York Cruises

Enjoy the hustle and bustle of life in New York in the city that never sleeps. Experience Times Square, Manhattan, the Statue of Liberty, and the famous Yellow Cabs during a New York cruise. A North America cruise including New York shows you the most beautiful places on the other side of the Atlantic. Look forward to the warmth of the Americans and exciting experiences.

From the Statue of Liberty to the Empire State Building

If you book a Transatlantic cruise from New York, you can not help but visit the Statue of Liberty. This figure is the most famous landmark of the city. The 47-metre statue, symbolizing the end of slavery, was once a gift from the French to the Americans. Inside the figure you step up and enjoy a fantastic view of the harbour from the crown. Bring the camera, because the skyline of the city is also very visible from here.

Visiting New York on New Year’s Eve? Then Times Square on 7th Avenue is an absolute must. But on all other days, you should not miss this experience. Huge neon signs, countless shops and malls and the real American lifestyle are hardly anywhere else as tangible as here.

To recover from the bustle of Times Square, treat yourself to a break in Central Park. A walk around the artificial lake allows you to feel the peace in the middle of the megacity. Do not be surprised if you find a lot of familiarity here, because Central Park has already been the backdrop for numerous feature films.

The most famous skyscraper is the 381 metre Empire State Building. Visit the viewing platforms on the 86th or 112th floor. On floor 80 you will learn interesting facts about the history of the building and its construction.

Typically New York

Welcome to the city that never sleeps! There is always something to experience somewhere and that's why people are here. Don’t be surprised if the friendly Americans like to help you and have some insider tips for you. Take your time to understand the lifestyle of New Yorkers, visit Central Park, where many spend their free time. No wonder. Here you can play sports or sunbathe, eat comfortably or enjoy a cool drink. And all in the green heart of the skyscraper-lined city.

Incidentally, the skyline of New York is one of the highlights of the city. A boat trip on the Hudson River will surely tell you about the spectacular ditching of a US Airways flight in 2009, in which the pilot saved all human life on board. You also have the opportunity to photograph the skyline of the city. The fact that the city was founded on the island of Manhattan, once by the Dutch, is barely perceptible today. For answers to questions about the city's history, check out the Museum of Natural History, located in Western Central Park.
