New York Oktoberfest Fall Foliage Cruise

Take a forty-mile cruise up the Hudson River near Hook Mountain while enjoying autumnal sights and our onboard Oktoberfest experience with music, German food specials and Oktoberfest beers (available for purchase).
Our huge, outdoor decks are perfect for getting some fall sun, fresh air and 360-degree views.

Enjoy a great leaf-peeping outing as you cruise under two of the most impressive bridges in New York State, the mighty George Washington Bridge and the newly-constructed Mario Cuomo Bridge, aka Tappan Zee Bridge. We'll reach as north as Hook Mountain, which rises to nearly 800 feet straight up from the Hudson River with sheer cliffs, covered in bright autumn foliage, surrounded by ravens, hawks, ospreys and the occasional Bald Eagle before turning back to Pier 83.
