The High Line Park is an artfully planted elevated railway track and, thanks to its location on the West Side of Manhattan, is particularly convenient for cruise guests who can easily reach the entrance via a short transfer or stroll. This green path offers fascinating perspectives of the skyline as well as the Hudson River and leads directly to Chelsea Market, a premier market hall with a variety of gourmet stalls and charming cafés. The relaxed atmosphere on the track is perfect for a cultural excursion and also provides a direct insight into modern architecture and the history of the city. It is best to start your walk in the early morning to make full use of the tranquility of the facility, and return to the ship relaxed at the latest ninety minutes before departure.
