Or just stay on board for the entire circuit to see everything from a great vantage point. Please note that entrance fees, food/drinks, and purchases are not included with your ticket.

Upon boarding your sightseeing excursion bus, you will receive a map and guide from either your driver or hostess. The map (click here for a non-commercial copy of this New York Sightseeing Excursion Map) includes all the stops for the Downtown Route and the sites. 

This excursion is a great option for those guests on cruise ships either before or after their cruise as well as for those guests just visiting New York. If you are looking for some great shopping, then you will want to check out the Downtown Route that takes you to the world's largest store, Macy's. Or see Madison Square Gardens, home to many professional sporting events and concerts. This stop is also where you can switch to the Uptown Route and start to explore another side of Manhattan. You can get your fill of culture by hopping off the Metropolitan Museum of Art or taking a stroll in Central Park, perhaps the most famous park in the world. If you’ve got the kids with you (or even if you don’t), hop off at Central Park Zoo. 

See the Empire State Building and the Brooklyn Bridge. Hop off at Greenwich Village, a very trendy, Bohemian neighborhood. Browse around Chinatown or Little Italy where you can find some incredible food. See the sights of the World Trade Center and Tribute Center. Stop No.15 is where you will get off the bus for the United Nations. Continue around to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel and its famous doormen. See the home of the Rockettes at Rockefeller Center and Radio City Music Hall. Pass through Central Park with the fields, duck ponds, horse-drawn carriages, Tavern on the Green, and more. Wherever you hop off, there’ll be something memorable to see, and all with the special New York something.
