What a great day trip close to home. The cruise was narrated and full of fun sites to see on the ride up/down the Hudson. They have seating on top deck in the sun, the middle deck in shade and with tables to sit on and a 3rd below deck in case of bad weather. Food and drinks were available to purchase.

We were in Kingston a few days early for a wedding, so decided to take a river cruise on the Hudson. Our friend will soon be captaining it in July. We enjoyed the scenery and the two lighthouses that we saw and how the color of the water changes near the canal. Worth the money, nice trip.

As part of our wedding anniversary, we took this river cruise and could not have been more pleased. The sights on this part of the Hudson are spectacular, full of history and the challenge of evolving ecology. The commentary during the cruise was interesting and informative. The captain and crew were engaging, helpful, very enthusiastic about the river and added a great deal to the trip. The snack bar has the expected assortment of tempting chips, pretzels, etc., but the selection of draft beers was surprisingly good. Parking is an issue, so I would recommend arrival well ahead of departure time. Sun on the river was intense, so we stayed under cover on the second deck and were quite comfortable. My only issues were difficulty hearing the commentary at first (but when mentioned to the crew, the volume was turned up and clear after that) and seats hard on the tush (cushions would be a nice addition). If you get the chance, I would heartily recommend this cruise. Ask the captain and crew about things to see and places to dine in Kingston. We took their recommendation for Mariners' Harbor and it made a perfect combination for a great day.
