The boat ride and crew were awesome. We really enjoyed it! The 2 hours was perfect. I would do this again in a couple years

It was a beautiful day and perfect to see the Fall Foliage. The boat was very comfortable and we just had a great time. It was easy to get to Pier 11 and it was a well organized round trip.

We saved this excursion for later in our trip. We weren't disappointed. The weather was kind - marvellously bright for great photo opportunities. The crew on the boat were helpful and attentive. Definitely a memorable trip for the end of our holiday - the 'Fall' colours were lovely.

Great boat ride up the Hudson. Boat was small so not too many people and easy to go out on the front deck. Leafs weren’t at peak but still enough color and pretty. That’s always hard to predict. Staff were great and generous with their drinks and snacks. All and all a lovely time was had by all. The only criticism is that they could go a bit further up the river and make the ride longer.

Autumn colors were not yet quite at their peak, and in general the cruise was more of seeing Manhattan than the Palisades. Nevetrheless it was a most enjoyable theree hours with a very skilful captain and her mate. The boat was small enough to create a cousy athmosphere with the great panoramic views of both sides of the Hudson River.

Took the fall foliage tour to Cold Springs. Even though it was a cold and dreary day, the tour was great. Heidi was informative and funny., a good addition to the ride. The ferry was comfortable and the crew members were extra attentive because of the slippery conditions. I loved the guided tour on the boat and the time to hang out in Cold Springs. Getting back to the pier at night and seeing all the city lights was magical.

Having traveled aboard large cruise ships, taking the American Cruise Line ship was most refreshing. No crowds, Just enough fellow travelers to make many acquaintances, potential friends. First trip was over the Chesapeake Bay, which is why we tried the Hudson. Each was quite nice with many stops of interest. This time, we tried a regular stateroom; for us the bathroom was too tight for him because my husband is so tall. Food was five star...but whoever loses weight eating at each meal with great desserts, anytime snacks, and friendly social hours? I did!!! Both of us are handicapped, but handled most every stop. Had such pleasure, am planning our next trip! An anniversary trip!

The yacht has an open area so every seat has a fantastic view of the shores. The crew couldn’t have been nicer and the trip was pleasant and relaxing.

Great scenery of New York skyline. Wonderful staff. Would recommend for anyone. We will go again. Loved the bean bags on the deck and enjoyed the libations and snacks.

Being out on the water was nice and seeing the great views of Manhattan as we cruised down the Hudson. The crew was friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
