New York is filled with a rich history, which has provided us with entertainment as well as educated us for years across every medium imaginable. And while books and movies are important, experiencing that rich history firsthand just can’t be beaten.
We know that New York has no shortage of museums and tourist spots where you can learn a thing or two about our history as well as the history of our country and the world. Despite that, sometimes history is just too big to be contained in a building.
The historic New York Harbor is home to many iconic monuments to our history, including the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Aboard the Skyline Princess, you can get a unique view of history while enjoying great food, our dance floor, and so much more. We’ll tell you how below.
What Is An Educational Cruise?
It’s true that many schools have hosted prom and graduation parties with us, but we also provide an excellent space for school field trips. Many parents and teachers have their minds at ease knowing that aboard a private charter on the Skyline Princess, your kids will be in a supervised environment that makes it impossible to get lost in the crowd.
A Skyline educational cruise can offer a gourmet buffet to make sure everyone has the opportunity to get in a good meal. We also allow outside catering if your school wishes to provide the food or wants to make sure that the meals available fit a theme for your class.
We’re also happy to work with you to facilitate a smoothly run presentation by teachers and facility aboard to make sure your kids get a full educational experience. And with multiple departure points available, we can accommodate schools coming from different parts of the tri-state area – as well as facilitating school field trips looking out over other historical locales including the Gold Coast mansions and lighthouses of the Long Island Sound.
Do You Need To Book A Private Boat Cruise For Student Trips?
When planning a trip for a whole class that could involve more than a hundred students, a private charter cruise will be your best option. Private cruises also offer more flexibility in terms of departure points and itinerary. However, you may have a school club or a history class that involves 20 or fewer people, which makes our public cruises a much more feasible option. Sightseeing-only options at a lower price are also available.
Enjoy New York Harbor & Learn More About History Aboard The Skyline Princess
It’s one thing to read about historic sites like the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, but it’s another thing entirely to see them with your own eyes. Aboard the Skyline Princess, you’ll get a unique and close-up view of some of the most important historical sites in the tri-state area from the comfort of our fully climate-controlled decks.
Whether you’re looking to plan an outing for a whole class, a school club, or simply a group of friends, we know that booking with us here at Skyline Cruises will provide you and your group with a wonderful time that you’ll cherish for years to come.
