Hudson River Sightseeing Cruise from AlbanyRobertS011, Aug 2026
An Enjoyable and Informative Experience
Dutch Apple Cruises provided a very informative and enjoyable cruise along the Hudson River centering on the history of the Albany area. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining, providing a running commentary of the river, shoreline and events that shaped the area throughout 400 years. It was a fantastic experience and my wife, a native of The Netherlands, was impressed with our guide's extensive knowledge of the history of Dutch settlers and explorers in the area.

Great time
We were on the upper deck, beautiful weather and smooth sailing. A nice leisurely pace so you could look around. We saw 3 bald eagles on the way back up the river! Highly recommend the trip.

Excellent Albany Experience
The tour was very informative and nicely presented. The only problem is that it needs updating; one of the items discussed on the tour was no longer in the spot discussed; rather, we believe it is inside the State Museum now, not on the courtyard. (The 40x70' sculpture.)
Otherwise, very helpful and pleasant.

Enjoy at your own pace
Great way to know the history of a city as you do it at your own pace. Go for it and enjoy Albany or any other place.

Relax and enjoy the sights
Booked online, took advantage of the Sr Citizen discount. Boarding was right on time. We headed for upper deck. Crew came around to take any drink or food orders- very convenient. The narrator/guide imparted so much info about the area’s history. So happy the NY State returned some of the land to the native tribes so they could once again have a presence in the area. It’s a beautiful riverbank trip. About 10 miles down and 10 miles back.

Awesome!
This was such a great experience! The guide told us about the stuff on the river for about 45 minutes. And, then for the other 45 minutes they played great music at a mellow sound. Captain FRANK is AWESOME! Very few people would scan your ticket, and then make an effort to pronounce each person's name as they got on the boat, but he did! Give him a raise!

Learn about Albany and more!!!
A great way to learn about Albany during a heat wave, or any other time! We loved that there was easy, free parking right onsite. Easy boarding and a marvelous narrator/guide. Was challenging to hear occasionally due to people that were not as invested in the narration or history. We could have moved but the breeze from the water and the great vantage point made it worth trying to listen thru folks. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Great time
Great time with my hubby celebrating his 50th birthday. Never knew how much history was in our area. Everyone that works there are friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. We are probably going to go back again with the kiddos. Highly recommend 😃

Hudson River Cruise
A very pleasant experience on a comfortable boat. Guide was informative, but could have more to say about the history of the River and its wildlife. Saw Bald Eagles fishing, which was a thrill. The cruise provided an opportunity to see the area from this historical perspective of the Hudson River. Easy/free parking was also appreciated.
