- shakearab00My kids loved it!I loved watching my kids drive the cruise! It got a little chilly today so bring a light jacket to be safe!
- Waveney B00Visit on the Waterthe staff were very courteous and professional, we were very well entertained. Food, drinks and the atmosphere was very magnetic.
- P3442GHkarend00Gratefully yoursA great experience. Went with my friends and my daughter and had a great time. The drinks were flowing and the music was beautiful. Thank you to the captain we definitely will be on board again soon.
- brendasM9601TC00Unforgettable experienceOn time excellent speed, easy to reserve, splendid view and lovely music. Delicious beer root shake and overall friendly staff. Restrooms clean. I would include seats and a solar screen or shade to protect from the sun at the waiting line though.
- Y2154DQbriano00FantasticFantastic experience. Had an instrumental performance on board. Boat very clean and organized. Excellent service. Would recommend to anyone.
- U538OOjasmineb00Sunset cruiseNice evening out on the water. Pricing is fair for food and tickets. Beautiful boat. Staff is friendly.
- d0lleyj00Beautiful RiverboatI went for the 4th of July event. It was very nice. The crew were all polite and helpful, the captain was very nice as well. The city of Albany cancelled the fireworks due to severe thunderstorm, so we were given a rain check to return the next day to view the fireworks free of charge. I absolutely love cruising on the Dutch Apple. I will definitely come again and recommend this cruise to everyone.
- Road64866000Good time and inexpensive.Was a good time. Having a live band playing was a very nice touch. Would do it again if I end up in Albany in the future.
- I1271USstephaniea00We Loved It!This was a great experience for us! There was originally a snafu regarding the scheduled time of our afternoon tour, but they were extra accommodating to us and made sure that we had a great time on the sunset cruise! Everyone was super nice. Thank you, especially, to Anthony. We loved our evening and we highly recommend taking a Dutch Apple cruise!
- BMeltz00Relax and Groove to the Music on the Hudson RiverEasily accessed with convenient parking, a 3hr journey on the Hudson River with Dutch Apple Cruises is a pleasant way to get a river's eye view of Albany and outlying areas. The 3-floor boat was not overcrowded and was quite clean with decent amenities. Boarding and docking were perfectly on schedule. The "Ship of Fools" Grateful Dead themed tour featured a great cover band that was worth the price of admission alone! They had the crowd dancing and singing along in a sea of tie-dye apparel and accessories. The staff is exceptionally professional and courteous, but there is no table service for food and drinks during a short tour. Smoking is allowed in designated areas, which for a Dead concert is an absolute requirement (hence the need for food and drink table service...) I spent my time on the top deck at the stern. The Hudson River shores are dotted with pastoral towns, modern facilities, and rustic camps nestled next to glorious estates. On such a lovely Spring day, every bit was photo-worthy.
- Escape69612500Great getawayWhat an amazing experience we had, Our Mother was excited and took pictures with the caption, Peter was very knowledgeable and made the historical narration great.
- Freedom38595800BreathtakingThis was such a fun relaxing trip and ver informative as we went down the Hudson River! We learned a lot of history and saw some bald Eagles! Loved watching the sunset and just relaxing!
- breetravels2200It was alrightIt was quite underwhelming with the scenery but nevertheless still beautiful, the captain was really great he made our experience a lot better.
- luckyteacher00Enjoyable Day CruiseWe had a peaceful and enjoyable day along the Hudson River. The first 45 minutes of the cruise was narrated and gave interesting information and history of the area. The second 45 minutes of the cruise was quiet so you could enjoy the scenery and relaxing water. Only one cruise per day at 1pm, so check website carefully for schedule.
- Guide81277200Good and relaxing experience , but we paid more with TripAdvisor !I was disappointed to learn that my friends paid $22 each and we paid $30 each, but the cruce was nice and we liked it but the wine they sell was so bad I couldn’t drink it!!

We did this tour twice this year. Let me explain. The first time was July 4th. It was an extremely hot day and humid day. Just as we were starting to board the boat, one of our group passed out from the heat. No soon when she fell there was a call to the staff on the boat to come with water, call 911 and just come to help. It was truly amazing. So much care was taken for our friend. She was okay after being checked by the EMTs but everyone thought it was best that we postpone our trip for another day, which they graciously granted. That return trip was yesterday September 30th. A day completely different from the first. There were staff there who were there on the first trip. It was all smiles and caring the whole trip. Our friend was treated like a celebrity!! Although it was a cool, cloudy day, it was a great day. It's a 90 minute tour with a guide who told us about the history of Albany that lasted for half the time. The rest of the trip was relaxing with music, lovely views and good company. They have a snack bar with food, snacks and drinks. A great day was had by all.

We both enjoyed this small cruise on the Hudson River. We're told a lot of info during it about things along the banks. Really enjoyed seeing bald eagles along the way also! Nice to be able to buy snacks too!

Crew was very good. Curator was good as well. Wish there was more to see. The eagles were the highlight of the cruise , but we see them all the time so it wasn’t as big of a deal for us.
I would recommend going. It’s something different and the boat is very nice, rain or shine.

The narrator was very good, and the boat ride was smooth as well. The crew was fabulous. Just wasn't much to see. Everyone was thrilled over the bald eagles. We see them all the time where we live, so it's not as thrilling for us.

My Mom was visiting from Florida and not really familiar with the Hudson Valley. The narrator was excellent in pointing out some of the key views of our trip. From my own boating experience, I was able to enhance that for her. The staff was great and waited on us for bevy’s. This is one of the must do’s in my home region.

There's a lot with plenty of parking at the boat docks.
do you have a list of days that the boat goes out. any during the week?

Seymour, CT281 contributions
The website for the company is very straightforward and tells which days are river cruises and which days are sunset cruises. At the time that we went Covid was just opening things up and there were only two or three cruises per week
What about if it is raining? Are there refunds?

Seymour, CT281 contributions
According to their website - no. They indicate that it is rain or shine. Consequently, we bought our tickets online that morning when we had a better read on the weather.
Although this boat is not wheelchair accessible Is there a ramp that lets you board the main level of the boat?

There is a nice ramp going on this boat.
