Cruise Port Guide
The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Ascend New York City's most iconic Art Deco skyscraper to the 86th-floor open-air observatory and, optionally, the exclusive 102nd-floor Summit — the highest point in the city. Unrivalled 360° panoramas over Manhattan, the Hudson, and beyond.
Soar over the Manhattan skyline, Central Park, the Statue of Liberty, and all five boroughs in a private or semi-private helicopter flight departing from the Downtown Manhattan Heliport. Arguably the most dramatic perspective New York City offers.
Climb inside the Statue of Liberty all the way to the Crown — 354 steps above New York Harbor — for a jaw-dropping close-up of Lady Liberty's torch and harbor views through small porthole windows. Crown permits are strictly limited and sell out months in advance.
Experience Frank Lloyd Wright's spiralling rotunda — itself a UNESCO World Heritage masterpiece — as your private curator unlocks the narratives behind Kandinsky, Picasso, Rothko, and Basquiat. A deeply personal, unhurried encounter with one of the world's great modern-art collections.
Rise 1,250 feet to the summit of One World Trade Center — the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere — at sunset for a private observatory experience with dinner reservations at ONE Dine, the revolving restaurant in the sky.
Discover the 843-acre 'green lung' of Manhattan aboard a horse-drawn carriage followed by a private walking tour with a certified NYC guide — meadows, secret gardens, literary landmarks, and Olmsted's original vision brought to life.
