Cruising across the harbor to see the Statue of Liberty up close was a highlight of our trip; her grandeur truly took our breath away. On Ellis Island, we appreciated the guided narrative, although we could have used a bit more time to really absorb the stories of those who passed through its halls.

From the moment we boarded the ferry, the excitement was palpable, especially as we sailed toward the Statue of Liberty basking in the sunlight. The guided experience was insightful, unraveling stories we hadn’t heard before, which made our visit to Ellis Island truly memorable. One standout moment was standing on the pedestal of Lady Liberty, feeling the enormity of history and the fresh breeze; it was a perfect photo op. We appreciated the priority access, which allowed us to skip the long lines and spend more time soaking in the views. If we had one small wish, it would be for a bit more time on Ellis Island to explore the exhibits in depth.

Stepping off the ferry and catching my first glimpse of the Statue of Liberty was a truly breathtaking moment; the way the sunlight danced off her copper patina made me feel a profound sense of history and freedom. The guided experience on Ellis Island was equally moving, as I learned about the countless families who once passed through its halls, seeking a new life. I appreciated the priority access—it allowed me to soak in the sights without feeling rushed. My only suggestion would be for a bit more time at the statue itself; I didn’t quite have enough moments to reflect in her presence. Overall, it was a memorable journey that made me appreciate the stories behind these iconic landmarks even more.
