New York City

New York City

One of the great thrills of a lifetime is cruising in or out of New York Harbor. The Statue of Liberty, with her torch held high, beckons you as she has for decades. The skyline of Manhattan is almost mythical, full of great landmarks of mondern history. The early 1922 jazz musicians called any city an apple, but this was the big one.
