Sights include West Point, Bannerman's Castle, Storm King Mountain, Bear Mountain, Hudson Highlands, stately mansions, massive bridges, and a myriad of picturesque sailboats, barges, tugboats and lighthouses. Never lose your sense of place as our large GPS monitors continuously pinpoint location of the beautiful surroundings.

Dining aboard the Epicurus is always a special event as our chef prepares savory meals for your dining pleasure. Each day a traditional five-course "dinner in the diner" is served restaurant-style complimented by fine china and snow white linens. Choose onboard from a Meat, Seafood or Pasta entree. Soothing music enhances the experience. The return trip to New York City is a special treat as you experience a majestic Hudson River sunset, after which we'll dim the dining room lights to enhance your twilight riverside views.
