NYC Empire Sightseeing Cruise Experience

Explore NYC your way with a tour that begins at The Skyscraper Museum with a Hudson River cruise past iconic landmarks.

Details

Start your day your way—with a deep dive into New York's architectural history or a breathtaking cruise along its iconic shoreline. This unique combo package gives you the flexibility to begin with either The Skyscraper Museum or our unforgettable Boat Tour—whichever fits your schedule best. At The Skyscraper Museum in Battery Park City, explore how NYC rose to the skies. Through engaging exhibits and interactive displays, discover the bold architecture, cutting-edge technology, and visionary minds behind the city's towering skyline.
Then, set sail on a scenic boat cruise down the majestic Hudson River. Relax aboard a modern, temperature-controlled vessel with indoor and outdoor decks as you pass Hudson Yards, Little Island, One World Trade Center, Ellis Island, and sail right up to the Statue of Liberty. Don't forget to snap your complimentary digital boarding photo, and enjoy snacks or drinks from our full onboard bar as you take in the views. Whether you start on land or water, this is NYC like you've never experienced it—above, beyond, and unforgettable.
Please note: While you'll be asked to select a preferred time when booking, all tickets are honored on a first-come, first-served basis due to boat capacity. It is recommended to arrive early to increase your chances of boarding at your chosen time. If you are not able to board at your chosen start time, Empire Sightseeing tickets can be accepted at any time the cruise operates, regardless of the booking date and time. However, tickets can only be used once.
