Walk through Battery Park past the historic Castle Clinton, a 19th-century fortification that once defended New York Harbor and later served as the city's main immigration processing station before Ellis Island. A great first taste of the history that defines Lower Manhattan.

Board your reserved ferry at Whitehall Terminal and cruise across New York Harbor. Your guide provides live narration as the Manhattan skyline fades behind you and the Statue of Liberty comes into full view ahead.

Step ashore and explore the grounds of Liberty Island with your expert guide. Learn the fascinating story behind one of the world's most recognized monuments — its design, its symbolism, and its meaning to millions of people who have called America home.

Explore the Statue of Liberty Museum at your own pace. Come face to face with the original torch and discover immersive exhibits that bring the full story of Lady Liberty to life.

Hop the ferry to Ellis Island, the gateway through which over 12 million immigrants passed in search of a better life. Walk the same halls they walked and explore one of America's most powerful and personal museums.

If you booked an option with 9/11 Museum access, you will make your way independently to the 9/11 Memorial Museum after returning to Manhattan. Descend below the memorial plaza and into one of the world's most extraordinary and moving museum experiences, built on the very ground where history changed forever.

If option with One World Access is selected, you will rise to the top of the Western Hemisphere's tallest building and take in breathtaking 360-degree views of New York City from 1,776 feet above the ground — a fitting and unforgettable way to end your day in Downtown Manhattan.
