  1. 90-minute Hudson River sightseeing cruise from Albany, Albany1

    1. 90-minute Hudson River sightseeing cruise from Albany

    4.8· 524 reviews· 1.5 hours

    A 90-minute cruise on the Hudson River, featuring a narrated tour highlighting Albany's history and scenic views of nature and historic homes.

    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

    2. Albany sunset cruise with live music on the Hudson River

    4.7· 35 reviews· 2 hours

    Two hours on the Hudson River — enjoy live acoustic music as you cruise past Albany's scenic landscape with food and drinks available on board.

    The cruise was an excellent experience for my daughter and me during our special date night. Would we do it again? Definitely, but preferably when it's dry outside. The views were stunning, and the crew ensured everything was clean and comfortable. We tried the nachos, which were fantastic, and I enjoyed a great sex on the beach cocktail. The restrooms were spacious and well-maintained, which was a plus. I also think adding bingo or trivia games would enhance the fun. Listening to the area's history was enjoyable too. I highly recommend this activity.52nikitaj
