What you can expect

  • Choose between a 2-hour or 2.75-hour cruise aboard the decks of an elegant 1920s-style yacht, for an educational architecture tour around Manhattan, hosted by architects and members of the American Institute of Architects New York Chapter (AIANY).

    Enjoy your trip through the Hudson, East, and Harlem rivers from the heated or air-conditioned observatory, or wander to the outer decks for fresh air and sunlight.

    Circumnavigate the island of Manhattan, passing under all 18 bridges, while taking in the sites and architecture. Examine the visionary development of the waterfront memorials, get an update on the One World Trade Centre, City centre “Starchitecture”, Jean Nouvel's 100 Eleventh Ave. condos, and classic icons of lower Manhattan like the Woolworth Building, Wall Street's art deco spires, and the Brooklyn Bridge.

    Marvel at New York's great engineering feats, such as the Harlem River's bridges: swing, lift, and fixed-span. Hear the storey of postwar urban renewal and public housing along the East River and much more.
