**ITINERARY HIGHLIGHTS*:** 

9/11 Memorial -
Following OnBoard bus ride and then New York Water Taxi's guided ride down the Hudson River to Battery Park, it's just a quick 10-minute walk to the 9/11 Memorial site. The guided Memorial tour will provide insightful details about the planning, creation and features of the Memorial, as well as offer you time for personal quiet reflection.

Firefighter’s Memorial, St. Paul’s, and Trinity Church -
After visiting the Memorial, your guide will walk you past the Firefighters’ Memorial to see St. Paul’s Chapel and Trinity Church. You will hear about how St. Paul’s served as the triage center during the 1776 fire as well as during September of 2011. During this walk, you will learn the in-depth story of the 9/11 attacks and how New Yorkers dealt with the tragedy. Our New York native guides will educate you about the recovery effort, the way in which the attacks affected life in New York City, and the new One World Trade Center tower that is being constructed at the site.

Wall Street -
Your guide will next lead you through the financial epicenter of the city past the New York Stock Exchange, and the site of the first terrorist attack on the United States.

South Street Seaport, Brooklyn Bridge,
and Statue of Liberty -
You will then take a quick bus ride to visit South Street Seaport, where, after a short break, you will hop on New York Water Taxi to sail by the Brooklyn Bridge over to Fulton Ferry Landing in Brooklyn. You’ll make a quick stop before the boat takes you down by the Statue of Liberty to get up close and personal with Lady Liberty for fantastic photo opportunities.
