For over 100 years, Ellis Island stood as the gateway to the American Dream — the first glimpse of a new life for more than 12 million immigrants between 1892 and 1954. Today, this National Monument offers something extraordinary: exclusive private use of one of the most historically significant and visually breathtaking venues in the world, just an 8-minute private ferry ride from Battery Park, NYC or Liberty State Park, NJ.
The Registry Room stops guests in their tracks. The grand hall where immigrants were processed features 60-foot vaulted Guastavino tile ceilings, expansive arched windows, and 13,000 square feet of breathtaking historic interior — with views of the Manhattan skyline on one side and the Statue of Liberty on the other. It is a setting impossible to recreate anywhere else on earth.
“We wanted our guests to feel something beyond 'what a beautiful room.' Ellis Island delivered that. They stepped off the ferry into history. The Museum was open all night for them to explore. People were finding their family names on the Wall of Honor. It was unforgettable.”
