I found this interesting video on Royal Caribbean's Anthem of the Seas. During her inaugural ceremonies, upon her initial arrival in New York - the Anthem of the Seas sailed up the Hudson River as far as the Empire State Building. This video shows the spectacular skyline, at night, as the ship sails up the Hudson River. On a normal departure the Anthem of the Seas does not provide passengers this view, since the ship normally departs Cape Liberty, Bayonne NJ and turns right toward the bridge and out to sea. I hope you enjoy this video.  RETURN TO NYCRUISEINFO.com   ---------------------------------------   Sister Sites => NYCruiseInfo.com Website - Cruise Schedule, Ship Reviews, Ports of Call & More. => Nick's Cruise Corner Blog - News On Cruise Ships Sailing World Wide. => Follow Us on Instagram - NYCruiseInfo At Instagram => Subscribe to Our Monthly New York Cruises Newsletter . 

DIFFERENT BY DESIGN Cruise Under the Lowest Bridges Blount Small Ships have been built with the purpose of bringing travelers to places that larger ships simply cannot go, with patented designs that allow our ships to slip, with inches to spare, under the lowest bridges on a canal, and fit through tight transit locks. It was all thanks to Luther’s invention — the Retractable Pilot House.  Perhaps his most amazing feat was the shallowness of his ships' draft. The draft refers to how far below the waterline the lowest part of a ship is. Amazingly, after years of perfecting his designs, all of the ships in our fleet have drafts of less than seven feet.
