      Unforgettable experience
      On 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.

      Beautiful Riverboat
      I 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.

      Good 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.

      We 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!

      Relax and Groove to the Music on the Hudson River
      Easily 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.

      Enjoyable Day Cruise
      We 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.

      Good 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!!

    This was a very nice and interesting cruise. The narrator was amazing. It felt like we knew all the staff , they were very welcoming. If you are in Albany it's a must.

    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.
