Ellis Island

You anchor off one of America's most iconic landmarks right in New York Harbor, where millions of immigrants passed through between 1892 and 1954. The weight of history is palpable here — the grand Beaux-Arts main building has been restored into a fascinating immigration museum, and the Statue of Liberty looms large just across the water. It's a rare chance to tie together the city skyline, a UNESCO-recognized landmark, and a deeply personal piece of American history all from one anchorage.
