New York City in a Day
Discover the highlights of New York City on a full-day sightseeing experience that brings together many of Manhattan’s most iconic landmarks. From the bright lights of Times Square to the peaceful paths of Central Park, this journey offers an excellent introduction to the city for first-time visitors.
Stroll through Central Park and Columbus Circle before continuing to Rockefeller Center, where you’ll see St. Patrick’s Cathedral and the famous plaza that transforms into New York’s celebrated Christmas destination each winter. Along Fifth Avenue, admire classic architecture, including views of the Empire State Building and the distinctive Flatiron Building.
Later, visit the moving 9/11 Memorial, where the twin reflecting pools honour those who lost their lives in the 2001 attacks. Enjoy free time nearby for lunch before boarding the Staten Island Ferry, one of New York’s best-kept sightseeing secrets. As the ferry crosses New York Harbor, take in spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline, Brooklyn waterfront and the Statue of Liberty.
