Excursion Manhattan highlights (for in-transit guests) tour at Cape Liberty

Explore the sights of New York City and the 9/11 Memorial during this half-day guided walking tour of Lower Manhattan.

Panoramic Drive

Your introduction to New York City begins with a coach transfer to Lower Manhattan during which a knowledgeable, licensed NYC guide will offer entertaining commentary and point out major sights.

Lower Manhattan

Leaving the pier, you’ll drive to the ferry dock on the southern tip of Manhattan to catch a glimpse of the Statue of Liberty. Then debark your coach and your guide will lead you on a walking tour of Lower Manhattan, the Financial District and the site of the World Trade Center. Along the way you will see famous Broadway, pass Trinity Church, and Wall Street with the New York Stock Exchange. Take note of the iconic "Charging Bull" statue, which has become the unofficial symbol of Wall Street.

9/11 Memorial

Then, continue to the World Trade Center and the newly completed 9/11 Memorial. Set within an 8-acre Memorial Plaza landscaped with a small forest of oak trees, the Memorial features two massive pools built over the footprints of the original Twin Towers, with 30-foot waterfalls cascading down into the pools. The names of the 2,982 men, women and children killed in the attacks of September 11, 2001 and February 26, 1993 are inscribed in parapets surrounding the reflecting pools. You will have time to view and contemplate the Memorial; please be reminded that the 9/11 Memorial is a place of remembrance and quiet reflection.

Following your visit, walk back to the coach for the return drive to the pier.
