A propos de cette activités

Votre visite commence à Chelsea Piers, où vous monterez à bord du Manhattan ou du Manhattan II, qui offre un espace climatisé et un observatoire fermé sur le pont arrière, ainsi que des ponts extérieurs où vous pourrez profiter de l'air frais et du soleil. Pendant que vous glissez le long de l’Hudson, ainsi que de l’East River et de Harlem River, profitez d'un soda, d’une bière ou d’un verre de vin ou de vin pétillant au bar. Des en-cas et de l'eau, du thé ou du café sont également disponibles.

Pendant que vous contournez l'île de Manhattan (en passant sous ses 18 ponts), admirez la vue sur les monuments, l'architecture, les parcs, et les infrastructures de New York. Organisée et commentée par un membre de l'American Institute of Architects, votre croisière propose des thèmes et sujets tels que les projets de planification pour réaménager le front de mer post-industriel, en tant que « 6e Borough », et répondre à la montée du niveau de la mer.

Bénéficiez d'une découverte fascinante des flèches classiques de Manhattan, parmi lesquelles le Chrysler Building et le Woolworth Building, ainsi que d'une mise en relief des nouveaux bâtiments du World Trade Center et du récent boom de la « starchitecture », y compris les bâtiments par Frank Gehry et d'autres fameux architectes locaux et internationaux. Découvrez comment un meilleur accès au front de mer, grâce à de nouveaux parcs et jetées récréatives, inclut des caractéristiques écologiques conçues par de grands architectes paysagistes.

Admirez la statue de la Liberté, Ellis Island, et le monument le plus récent en front de mer : le Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park, sur Roosevelt Island. Passez à côté des chefs-d'œuvre d’ingénierie de New York - le pont de Brooklyn et le pont George Washington - ainsi que des ponts tournants moins connus sur Harlem River. Découvrez l'adaptation de la High Line en tant que parc linéaire en hauteur, et apprenez-en davantage sur son rôle dans le développement de West Chelsea et d’Hudson Yards. Découvrez l'histoire de la rénovation urbaine qui a suivi la Seconde Guerre mondiale et des logements sociaux le long des quais du Lower East Side et d’East Harlem.

Le tarif adulte s'applique à tous les voyageurs
Le tour complet de Manhattan n'est pas garanti. À de rares occasions, le pont du train de Spuyten Duyvil ne fonctionne pas et ne peut être ouvert pour que nous passions. En général, nous n’en avons pas connaissance jusqu'à notre visite. Des restrictions du trafic fluvial peuvent également se produire pour un certain nombre de raisons. Il n'y aura pas de remboursement pour les excursions qui ne permettent pas de faire entièrement le tour. Nous nous adapterons à de telles situations avec une excursion qui présente un double itinéraire et plus de détails sur les sites du front de mer.

Completely wonderful with very knowledgable guide (an actual architect). Also nice amenities on board: one free drink plus snacks. Highly recommend for anyone interested in circumnavigating Manhattan and learning history through architecture.

We had beautiful weather. It was a great tour whether you just want to circumnavigate Manhattan or learn about the beautiful buildings that make up the NYC skyline. Having an architect as the guide was a real plus. It was nice to enjoy an adult beverage and have a healthy snack during the trip. We learned a lot and got some great photos. I would do this tour again.

A real highlight of my trip to New York. A great way to see Manhattan, a different perspective and expert and really interesting commentary.

We had the best time on our trip around Manhattan! The boat was amazing and the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable of the buildings. Would do it again and recommend it to all our friends and family who are going to New York.

We've been on the architecture cruise a several times, with different friends, and learn lots more each time. The architects are knowledgeable, articulate, and full of information. Views from the boat are splendid, and the acoustics are state-of-the-art. Loved it, and will come back again. Even the snacks and beverages were great.

Everything about the outing was great! The yacht was comfortable and well appointed. The staff were attentive and cheerful. The speaker was informative and personal. The food was delicious. I would recommend this as a day outing to all.

This would have been a wonderful cruise had it not been for the groups of people who came on board for purposes other than enjoying an architecture cruise. One group was there to have a casual business meeting in a pleasant environment and the 10 of them carried on conversations both inside and later outside the cabin for the entire length of the cruise. They were impossible to escape. Another group partied loudly outside and so it was impossible to concentrate on the architect's descriptions or find a quiet spot away from constant gabbing. I asked an employee to remind them to be respectful of paying guests after the docent architect had done so himself. She smiled but did nothing. I spoke to her again at end only to receive another smile. I spoke to the architect and he said that after his first time asking guests to be considerate, it was up to the crew. Such a shame. The experience could have been so enjoyable, but I would not recommend this to anyone who really has an interest in architecture. It is pleasant if you just want to party and see the sights.

Super highly recommended! The boats are beautiful and super comfortable we went on Manhattan II, but we also saw Manhattan I at the pier and the best part, it was NOT crowded. There's a full bar and light snacks, the crew was great, even bringing drinks while we were outside. The architect who was narrating was very good and you can also hear him while being outside!

Certainly a step up from most water-based tours we've taken. Boat was lovely, drinks and snacks actually good. The architect (wish I could remember his name) spoke for the entire 2.5 plus hours (and the sound system was quite effective) and shared fascinating knowledge and history. didn't even use notes! We sailed around the entire island, and took in the sights of Governor and Roosevelt Islands as well. It was great to see the Statue of Liberty up close, pass by Ellis and Staten Islands, and enjoy going under the beautiful bridges radiating out from Manhattan. We'd recommend this tour to newcomers and natives alike! Susan U
