Refunds due to ‘lack of color’, will not be honored. Cruising on the Hudson River, north by the Palisades, is a unique and interesting route and is the declared value of this excursion.

My mom & I enjoyed every aspect of this cruise. The Manhattan II is absolutely beautiful inside and out, I was honestly surprised at how clean/nice bathrooms were. It was also very spacious, not overly crowded The food was scrumptious, visually pleasing, and enough for everyone. The staff was excellent- serviced with a smile. The price of ticket was well worth it. Though it was raining on the day we went the views of the fall foliage were still beautiful. Rain doesn't bother us at all. We still had the option of going outside throughout the ride. The glass ceiling/windows even made it look beautiful to see the rain come down. My only critique would be desserts could be a little better, but that is minor and also personal preference. We actually sat across a lovely couple who said it was their 2nd time on this specific cruise. I, too, plan on going again with the rest of my family & friends. It truly was a lovely experience for us.

What a way to enjoy a fall day!

Irene_S, Nov 2023

The cruise was nice, weather was great. Crew were wonderful as were the company we kept. Service disjointed and slow. The food was tasty and filling.

Nice Morning Brunch

Christina_T, Nov 2023

We went on the cruise at the very end of October and the foliage was beautiful, different shades of orange but still some green. The captain shared some interesting details about the area and the food was delicious. My only complaint is the service was very slow and they kept forgetting we had dietary restrictions. I would have liked if the courses were served with less gaps so we could eat and then go up to the deck to enjoy the scenery. Or if they would have announced that the next course was being served. We kept going back and forth to check if our next course had come, it was a little hot inside and photos were much better in the open air so we preferred being outside.

Delicious food, attentive...

Delicious food, attentive staff and lovely views of the waterfront on the Hudson River. Boat was clean and well organized for the brunch.

Great tour for couples. ...

Patti_M, Oct 2021

Great tour for couples. Still a bit early for full autumn colors but trees were just starting to change. Food and drink was good. Abundance of food for four.

Lovely

Nice way to spend a Sunday

Danielle W, Oct 2018

Great food (and a LOT of it); not crowded; good people. Be prepared that you might be sitting with strangers. Boarding moved quickly and efficiently. Was a really pleasant way to spend a Sunday, though unfortunately, no fall foliage as of mid-October.
