City, South Street Seaport and the Verrazano Narrows Bridge – the second-longest
single-span suspension bridge in the world – Governor’s Island,
Ellis Island and Colgate Clock. Of course, the highlight of our cruise is the
Statue of Liberty, one of the most celebrated landmarks in the world.

been a very popular choice since it's debut, and truly has something for everyone.
The Spirit City New York Cruise is brand new in 2002, and offers guests a more
contemporary New York experience. This cruise was designed to carry the best
of Manhattan culture, including fine dining, Broadway-style entertainment, and
a trendy dance club. Set aboard a completely renovated ship, the cruise has
a trendy Bistro-type atmosphere.
