Downtown Liberty Express Cruise highlights

Statue of Liberty – the symbol of freedom, Lady Liberty actually started life in France. She was constructed piece-by-piece then shipped over to New York City.

Ellis Island – this gateway to the United States shuffled millions of immigrants through its bureaucratic documentation center between 1892 and 1954.

Chrysler Building – this Art Deco landmark sits at the crossroads of 42nd and Lexington and held the record as tallest building for nearly a year before the construction of the Empire State Building was completed.

Empire State Building – speaking of, this iconic building towers above the skyline from the waters around Manhattan, all 102 floors of it.

One World Trade Center – the main building of the rebuilt World Trade Center complex. One WTC is the tallest building in the United States and the Western Hemisphere, beating the Chrysler Building and the Empire State hands down. If that wasn’t enough it’s also the sixth-tallest in the world.
