Clipper city Tall ship | New York Explorer Pass

Overview

You'll climb aboard a Clipper City Tall Ship and sail past NYC's essential landmarks - the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and the iconic skyline of lower Manhattan.

Harness your inner shipmate and enjoy the sensation of gliding over the waves on this magnificent historic vessel. It's all hands on deck as you see the crew shimmy up the mast to adjust the sails on this authentic experience. The vessel might be built in the style of a historic 19th-century ship, but it's designed for comfort with spacious decks and seating areas. Relax and enjoy the historic ambiance and unbeatable views of NYC from everywhere on the ship.

Full standing bar onboard, for those who would like to elevate their experience with a toast.

Easy to combine with other sights. Kid-friendly pacing without feeling rushed, matching what friends told us—but better in person.

More impressive in person than the photos. Highlights matched what was advertised, would recommend budgeting a little buffer after for souvenirs.
