Ascend New York's most iconic Art Deco tower on a private guided tour with full All-Access privileges, including the exclusive 102nd-floor observatory. Stand where King Kong climbed and survey 80 miles of unbroken skyline.
What to expect
Your private guide meets you at the lobby and whisks you through a dedicated entrance, bypassing the public line entirely. You'll ascend first to the world-famous 86th-floor open-air deck, then continue to the intimate 102nd-floor observatory for a perspective most visitors never access. The guide shares fascinating architectural history and cultural lore throughout. The visit concludes with time to browse the landmark's Art Deco interiors.
Good to know
Book the All-Access Private Tour directly on the ESB website well ahead of your port day — these slots are extremely limited. The building is a 20-minute taxi from the Manhattan cruise piers. A USD 5 booking fee is added per transaction. Allow 2.5–3 hours for the full experience.
