Highlights
Outing Highlights
A comfortable small ship for scenic cruising
The 90‑ft Emerald Princess provides a compact, stable platform for sightseeing: dine in a climate‑controlled room or step up to the second‑level sky lounge for fresh‑air views as the boat travels north on the Hudson.
Full brunch with made‑to‑order options
The cruise includes a full brunch menu—pancakes, sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs, mini gourmet sandwiches and seasonal fruit—with made‑to‑order omelets and a complimentary mimosa for guests 21 and older (juice or soda for younger guests).
Peak fall color from the water
Departing from the newly restored historic Fleischmann Pier, the northbound run up the Hudson offers direct views of New York’s autumn foliage as the seasons change.
What the day feels like
How the cruise feels
Board at Fleischmann Pier and settle into the Emerald Princess for about 2.5 hours of slow travel up the Hudson. The rhythm is unhurried: plates arrive in the dining room while others drift between indoors and the sky lounge to photograph stretch after stretch of colorful shoreline. The package is social and scenic rather than athletic—meals, views and a complimentary beverage create a low‑effort way to absorb fall on the river.
