Sunset harbor experience

The Staten Island Ferry does not stop at Liberty Island or Ellis Island.

1 · An evening crossing

Audio coming soon

  1. Welcome aboard for a sunset crossing. The Staten Island Ferry is free and runs all day and all night, so you can time your ride for the evening light. Find a spot on the right-hand side of the boat as we leave Manhattan, and watch the harbor change color. Remember, this ferry doesn't stop at Liberty Island or Ellis Island.

  2. Here comes Lady Liberty. Look for the flame of her torch: it's covered in twenty-four-karat gold, and it catches the light beautifully. She has watched over this harbor since 1886, welcoming ships into New York. Take a slow breath and enjoy the moment before you reach for your camera.

  3. On the way back from Staten Island, the Statue will be on your left, and the towers of Lower Manhattan will rise ahead of you as the city lights come on. Thanks for spending the evening with VoyGlobe.
