Hudson River Vacation
Few vacations are able to offer such intimacy as Hudson River cruises. A Hudson River cruise is a truly unique vacation experience. A major advantage of taking a Hudson River cruise is that the river cruise ships are able to go deep into the heart of the U.S. East Coast, where larger cruise ships simply cannot reach. Take part in the one-of-a-kind, intimate atmosphere on board these ships, as you visit the river towns and locations that would be impossible to enjoy as much any other way. Plus, the cruise lines that offer river cruises have fabulous, regionally-inspired cuisine, matched perfectly by an attentive and well-trained staff.
There are many destinations to which a Hudson River cruise can take you. You can experience places like New York City, the Catskills, West Point, and Sleepy Hollow as you’ve never dreamed you could! The Hudson River is one of the main waterways of North America, making it easier than ever to take in the exciting culture and landscape of the U.S. East Coast. As you navigate to Hudson’s beautiful and historic river banks, you’ll discover historic architecture, famous landmarks, and picturesque beauty from all angles.
