Cruise the Hudson River from New York to admire autumn colors, the Palisades, and historic landmarks with live guide narration.

About this tour

See New York’s autumn colors from the water on a four-hour cruise along the Hudson River. As the city recedes, the river opens onto the Palisades, historic landmarks, and forests dressed in crimson, gold, and amber. Panoramic windows and open decks offer different ways to take in the seasonal scenery aboard an air-conditioned boat.

Live narration from an expert guide adds context to the views, while an onboard restroom and snack bar make it easy to settle in for the journey. Snacks and drinks are available for purchase. Meet the crew at Pier 78, where agents wear Starship blue uniforms.

A New York fall foliage river cruise offers a relaxed change of pace from the busy streets and a front-row view of the season along the Hudson. Come aboard and enjoy the colors, landmarks, and river views at an unhurried pace.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 2.00 from 1 review. 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 7.0.
