We went on a rainy and cold weekday in September. Most of the other passengers were part of large groups. Many of these passengers were elderly or had special needs and the crew was very helpful, kind, and patient helping them down the slippery gang plank. The groups were boarded first so they had first pick of seats. There wasn’t much to see during the cruise other than two lighthouses and a couple mansions that were partly hidden by trees. On a nice day, it would be nice being out on the water. On a cold and rainy day, it wasn’t that great. If we had it to do over, we would have waited to buy our tickets until after we saw a weather forecast.

Sailed on this beautiful ship. While on the Hudson, I was able to view a variety of beautiful homes and two lighthouses. The narration is just enough to keep you informed without being a nuisance. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and a snack bar for light refreshments and snacks. Highly recommend this to anyone wanting to enjoy beautiful scenery in a relaxing setting.

I want to thank the staff and crew at Hudson River Cruises! They were so great helping us to get my disabled niece up and down the steep ramp so that she could enjoy the cruise with us! They were watching for us at the end to be sure we got down safely.
