Glide past Manhattan's most iconic landmarks from the water while dining at your table—the Spirit of New York brings the harbor directly to you. You'll drift near the Statue of Liberty, sail beneath the soaring Brooklyn Bridge, and take in the historic charm of South Street Seaport alongside gleaming skyscrapers of the Financial District. Winter cruises add a crisp, quieter magic to the experience, with clear sightlines and fewer crowds letting you truly absorb the city's grandeur from the deck. There's simply no other vantage point in New York that captures the full scope of what makes this place extraordinary.

Up through the 1800's, ferries were the only way to get to and around Manhattan. As bridges and tunnels were built, ferry transportation faded. In 1986, Arthur E. Imperatore and his family rejuvenated the NY Harbor with the launch of the first NY Waterway boat. Since then, NY Waterway has carried over 65 million passengers. NY Waterway has the largest ferry and excursion fleet in the NY Harbor, but it is still a family business with all the personal attention to service and amenities that it had when it was just Arthur's ferry. You are treated like family from the moment you step into our terminal. Some people say a NY Waterway Sightseeing Cruise is the friendliest experience they have had in New York. We say "welcome aboard!"

Picture yourself standing 70 stories above Manhattan's bustling streets, where the winter air carries the scent of roasting chestnuts from the plaza below. This sprawling 22-acre complex rises from Midtown with 19 interconnected buildings that emerged during the economic uncertainty of the early 1930s, financed entirely by John D. Rockefeller in what became the era's most ambitious private construction undertaking. Art Deco elegance flows through every corner—sculptural details, intricate tilework, and hand-painted murals adorn facades that tell the story of Depression-era optimism. The 70-story centerpiece commanded the title of world's tallest structure when it opened in 1933, and it remains the visual anchor of the entire composition. Walk through today and you'll find yourself moving between high-end boutiques, diverse dining spots, and live entertainment venues. The iconic ice rink transforms the plaza into a winter wonderland each season, surrounded by the towering evergreen that's become synonymous with the holidays. Broadcasting studios operate continuously within the complex—this is where countless television productions come to life. Head up to the Top of the Rock and windows on all sides reveal sweeping views across all five boroughs. What started as a bold financial gamble has woven itself into New York's cultural identity. The center pulses with commercial activity while standing as a testament to the city's ability to dream big and rebuild stronger, generation after generation.
