My husband and I had a wonderful Hudson River trip on a beautiful sunny late September afternoon. The guide is just enough information without being overwhelming. We jenjoyed the great views and the trip is just the right length to be enjoyable. Be sure to check out the shops and restaurants within walking distance in the area after your cruise.

A perfect way to spend a leisurely day on the Hudson River. We embarked out of the Rondout in Kingston, NY. You can either buy tickets online or get them at the dock. The boat is very clean and well maintained. There is a snack bar and a full bar on board if you want something. We were saving our appetites for an early dinner, but fresh popcorn was a favorite that day. The crew is very knowledgeable and the captain narrates all the points of interest along the way and talks about the rivers history. The cruise goes up the east side of the river going past the beautiful mansions and lighthouses and comes back on the west side. A very nice way to spend a day, especially in the fall as the foliage is turning.

The Arlington High School Class of 1961 and 1960 booked this cruise to commemorate or 55th and 56th class reunion. We all had a wonderful time. Everyone associated with this organization could not be more helpful. The cruise was topped off by seeing 2 bald eagles. I would not hesitate to recommend this unique way of enjoying the Hudson River. Thank you for a wonderful end to our reunion.
