“While visiting our daughter, we decided to take this cruise after touring the USS Slater nearby. It was a delightful experience. The Captain was engaging, and we enjoyed spotting bald eagles. The narration provided was both informative and captivating. We also tried the nachos and the walk the plank mixed drinks, which were quite enjoyable. We highly recommend this tour.”— michaelhC9350IE on the 90-minute Hudson River sightseeing cruise from Albany tour
