Enjoyed the band, the Lost Cowboys, very much! They were really terrific! Glad we got to see a sunset too - too dark to see much else once we set off - but we had a great time!

As a year round resident , I’ve been taking this cruise for over 45 years. Experiencing the Mighty Hudson this way, accompanied by a narration of the area’s history and waited on by a caring crew , never disappoints. Last week, I took two friends visiting me from Florida , who were experiencing the Hudson Valley for the first time. They loved being in the river, along with the interesting talk and congenial treatment by every single crew member. I enjoyed the trip as well. The trip ended about 45 min short of what is advertised. We noticed that . When experiencing something as great as this cruise , one tends to want it to last forever.

A friend and I were visiting Kingston, NY and we booked a cruise with Hudson River Cruise. The day of the cruise, the weather was overcast and a little rainy, but we were covered and stayed dry. The cruise lasted about 1.5 hours and I really enjoyed seeing the lighthouses and beautiful mansions along the river. The cruise was very nice and I'd recommend it.
