Waited for a perfect weather day (a 10) to take the Rip Van Winkle Boat, Hudson River Cruise from Rondout Landing, Kingston, NY for the second time. The trip was even better (a 10) than it was when we took it the first time about 20 years ago, so a great 1-day vacation on a perfect day (a 10-10). The narrator will explain the details about every site along both sides of the Hudson River for the entire trip. If you can spare a day, pick a good one and take this Hudson River Cruise for a truly relaxing 2-hour Cruise for a reasonable price—even better if you're a senior and get the discount. HINTS: Take a mid-week, morning trip, and get in line 20-30 minutes prior to the half-hour-in-advance scheduled boarding time to get your pick of deck location.

We had a blast. The DJ was great, and the atmosphere was perfect for a Friday night out on the river! Thank you Hudson River Cruises for a great Date night!

I went on this cruise expecting a more in depth history of the region with a focus on the indigenous peoples and European influence. Mostly though it was focussed on mansions of wealthy people, something I had absolutely no interest in.
