Join the AIANY and Classic Harbor Line this August for a rare opportunity to experience Freshkills Park from the water - an extraordinary journey through New York's industrial waterfront and one of the world's most ambitious land reclamation projects.

Aboard one of Classic Harbor Line's elegant Manhattan yachts, this 3.25-hour narrated cruise travels through the active shipping corridor of the Kill Van Kull and into the heart of Freshkills Park, offering a unique perspective on the transformation of the former Fresh Kills Landfill into a public park that will ultimately span three times the size of Central Park.

Hosted by an expert AIANY guide, the tour explores the site's history, ecological restoration, engineering, and design while showcasing the wetlands, grasslands, and waterways that have already become thriving habitats for birds and wildlife.

As the only public boat tour into the Fresh Kills waterway, this experience offers unparalleled access to a remarkable chapter in New York City's evolving landscape. Guests enjoy reserved seating aboard a classic yacht, one complimentary beer, wine, or champagne, and for students, the opportunity to earn 2.5 AIA CES Continuing Education Credits.
