About Hudson River Cruises

Hudson River Cruises operates sightseeing cruises departing from Kingston, New York. Visitors board the Rip Van Winkle II for a 90-minute narrated voyage down the Hudson River, traveling south toward Hyde Park before returning to port. A captain and crew point out historic sites and landmarks along the route, providing context about the region's history and notable features. The vessel features a climate-controlled lower enclosed deck and a partially covered upper deck offering shade. A fully stocked bar serves both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and a snack bar offers light fare. The cruise operates regardless of weather unless conditions are deemed dangerous by the captain. Sightseeing cruises suit families and groups seeking a guided tour of the Hudson River valley's scenery and historical landmarks. Special event cruises and group tours are also available. Tickets are sold online through the venue's website.
