Ascend New York City's most iconic skyscraper to its legendary 86th and 102nd-floor observatories. Sweeping 360° views of all five boroughs make this the ultimate New York bucket-list moment.
What to expect
Your private guide meets you at the landmark entrance and escorts you through the breathtaking Art Deco lobby before whisking you to the 86th-floor open-air deck. From there, the full sweep of Manhattan, the Hudson and East Rivers, and the glittering boroughs unfolds. A second ascent to the intimate 102nd-floor indoor observatory delivers an unobstructed, truly once-in-a-lifetime perspective. The guide weaves in architecture, film history, and city lore throughout.
Good to know
The Empire State Building is a 20-minute taxi or Lyft from Manhattan cruise terminals (Pier 88/90). Pre-book the All Access Tour well in advance — slots are limited. Allow 2.5–3 hours total. All-aboard times are typically late afternoon, leaving ample time if you embark by late morning.
