Although I spend much of my time between NYC and my place in Saugerties, I rarely have taken advantage of what the area has to offer. This was an informative, enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours slowly cruising up the Hudson. I recommend it!

I took my three grand kids on this cruise. They were staying with us for the week. They,as well as my husband and myself thoroughly enjoyed it. We chose the dinner cruise. The food was very good. My husband did not like the fact that the menu was limited. Next time we cruise, it will be cruise only. When it is finished,we will go across to the restaurant.

Overall, this was an enjoyable experience. Some "know before you go"points: When we boarded, we had to set up our own chairs on the lower deck. We know that there was seating on the top level but we did not want to sit there. The staff should set up more chairs on the lower level for those of us that prefer it. The staff members were friendly and helpful. There was navigation on video and audio. I was worried about getting seasick but this did not happen. The boat ride was relaxing. The bathrooms were not clean at all. The boat was a bit "rustic" but still a good value.
