    Circle Line NYC Landmark Cruise highlights

    The Statue of Liberty – she needs no introduction, but here's a fun fact - Lady Liberty was constructed piece by piece in France and then shipped across the Atlantic.

    Ellis Island Museum – this gateway to the United States shuffled millions of immigrants through its bureaucratic documentation center between 1892 and 1954. But after 1924 when the initial swells of seafaring immigrants had died down, Ellis Island became a deportation and detention processing station.

    Brooklyn Bridge – this feat of structural engineering is one of the oldest suspension bridges in the United States built from limestone, granite, and cement. It connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn over the East River.

    Empire State Building – instantly recognizable by its characteristic Art Deco architecture, the Empire State Building towers above the skyline from the waters around Manhattan, all 102 floors of it.

    Chrysler Building – another Art Deco landmark that sits at the crossroads of 42nd and Lexington. This building’s history shows something of a rivalry in the “race to the top” in the early days of skyscrapers. The Chrysler Building held the record as the tallest building for nearly a year before the construction of the Empire State Building was completed.

    United Nations – the headquarters of the United Nations grace this prestigious location in the Big Apple, serving as a hub of international decision-making, peacekeeping talks, and other important matters that affect international relations across the globe.
