Cruise the Hudson River toward the Palisades, taking in seasonal scenery aboard a 1920s-style yacht with lunch and a drink included.

About this tour

See autumn color from the water on a two-hour New York Fall Foliage Cruise with Lunch. Aboard the 1920s-style yacht Manhattan II, cruise north along the Hudson River toward the dramatic New Jersey Palisades, where wooded cliffs rise above the shoreline.

Take in the scenery through the heated, enclosed observatory’s windows and skylights, or step onto the open bow for fresh air and photos. The lightly narrated route offers a different perspective on the riverfront as the seasons change. Back in the grand salon, enjoy private seating for your reservation and a family-style lunch of soup, sandwiches, salad, and dessert. One beer, wine, Champagne, or soda is included; additional drinks are available to buy onboard.

New York Fall Foliage Cruise with Lunch pairs relaxed sightseeing with a satisfying meal and sweeping Hudson River views. Peak foliage is not guaranteed, but the Palisades make a striking destination in any season. Check in at Pier 62 and come aboard for a memorable afternoon on the water.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.63 from 8 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in New York City
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.9.
