Fleet Week 2011
Wednesday, May 23rd starts one of New York City’s best traditions: Fleet Week. It’s the one week every year that we get to show our love to the troops who courageously put their lives on the line every day to make our country a better place.
Here at Gray Line New York, we appreciate all that you have done for us. That is why during the entirety of Fleet Week, we are letting you ride free. That’s right; all uniformed military personnel ride FREE! The United States Military fights for our safety and freedom every day. The least we can do is give you a tour of one of the cities that you’re protecting without taking any of your hard-earned money.
If you’re coming to NYC with family and friends who are not in the military, we’ll discount their tickets for you. We’ll give 10% off to any of your friends or family members that are with you for your tour. We want this week to be special for our military, so we will do what we can to help out.
In the coming week, our blog will have posts featuring schedules and events for Fleet Week 2012. Check back regularly so you don’t miss any updates.
