Autumn Amber Fall Foliage River Cruise

About this activity

Experience autumn in New York the way it was meant to be seen—from the water.

Glide up the Hudson River as the city’s edges dissolve into a blaze of crimson, gold, and amber. Aboard our cozy, climate-controlled vessel, panoramic windows and open decks frame the Palisades, historic landmarks, and forests at their peak color. Settle into the warm, refined atmosphere with a drink in hand, seasonal snacks, and hot beverages while an expert guide brings the landscape and its stories to life.

Leave the noise of the streets behind and claim a front-row seat to one of nature’s most spectacular seasonal performances. This is fall foliage in New York—intimate, effortless, and unforgettable.
