The leaves will soon be changing and there are few better ways to appreciate the vibrant colors of fall than from a boat on the Hudson River. New Yorkers have been taking scenic pleasure trips on the Hudson for more than a century and the tradition continues to this day. Classic Harbor Line offers modern-day passengers a variety of fall foliage cruises aboard a fleet of historically inspired vessels. The river tours conveniently start in New York City and sail north through the breathtaking scenery of the Hudson Valley.
As you sail aboard the schooner Adirondack, the 1920s-style yacht Kingston, or the elegant Full Moon or Manhattan yachts, you will see notable sites along Manhattan’s western shore. Cruising past the city skyline, passengers will see the beautiful buildings of the Upper West Side, Riverside Cathedral, Grant’s Tomb and the Cloisters. You will also sail past the George Washington Bridge, the Little Red Lighthouse and the dramatic cliffs of Palisades Park before exiting the city and escaping to the Hudson Valley region.
