   Though they may often be thought of as services for travelers,ferries(渡轮)are often ignored as tourist opportunities. In cities and regions all over the world,ferries offer an advantage for top destinations.

Staten Island Ferry

Take a famous ride in one of the world's greatest cities;New York's Staten Island Ferry is free all day,every day. On this 25-minute trip between Manhattan and Staten Island,passengers will get a fresh view of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.

Golden Horn Ferry

The Bosporus is a narrow,natural strait located in northwestern Turkey,which carries many a boat between its European and Asian shores. Ferries here offer 20-minute trips or six-hour tours into the Golden Horn. Both feature marks made on the city by 13 different civilizations,including the Egyptians and Bulgarians.

Star Ferry

The Star Ferry travels between Kowloon and Hong Kong Island, providing scenes of striking colors at sunset in the sky and against the skyline. The two-level Shining Star ferry is a reinvention of boats from the 1920s and offers tours of the harbor.

Alaska Marine Highway System

Though many cities host eye-catching ferry rides, other locations provide water journeys of a much greater range. Covering more than 3,500 miles, the Alaska Marine Highway System stretches along the coast from southern Washington to the Aleutian Islands. On this voyage, travelers can see wildlife including whales and bears, the largest national forest in the U. S. , and Alaska-native villages.
