    We took on the twilight/sunset cruise. The band was really good. We also had our dog with us and she was very relaxed. The ship was a really nice 3 decker. We were outside and when it cooled down, we sat on the first deck comfortably.

  • Taking the Night Boat [from] and to Albany

    W1916CVwandab,Aug 31, 2025

    - Review from Tripadvisor

    Enjoyed the trip very much. There is an old song about "Taking the Night Boat to Albany." We were saying it would be fabulous for one of the area museums to sponsor a special tour in which musicians play period music and people are encouraged to wear clothing reminiscent or like that of the 1920s. The song "Why Do They All Take the Night Boat to Albany?" was written for the 1918 musical Sinbad and was also performed by Al Jolson around that time, with a popular recording date noted as April 29, 1918. The song features music by Jean Schwartz and lyrics by Sam M. Lewis and Joe Young.

    My mom and I went on the Irish music ride. She's 85. They were so accommodating. We had a great time. Everyone, employees and passengers were awesome. Hope to try it again next summer, if physically able.

  • A WONDERFUL MOTHER - DAUGHTER DATE NIGHT

    This little cruise was such a great experience for me and my daughter on our little date night! Would we go again!? Absolutely..just not while it’s raining and wet! The scenery was absolutely beautiful and the crew made it comfortable and clean for us. We ordered nachos (fantastic) I ordered a sex on the beach (fantastic)The restrooms are big enough for you to move around in and very clean which I appreciate…on the side note..I think it would be even more fun if they offered a night of bingo or trivia games for more entertainment. We also Enjoyed listening to the history of the area. I definitely recommend it!

  • Before and After Rose Of Winds

    "Tears are very salty Fell into the water They enchanted us and Enchanting fire got bored tear Unbridled riding Windy blind I am Baltic wind, I lived by the sea Many nights and days My eyes are widened You are here with me I’ll surround you with fiery love, wrap the waist, Dawn hair and fish will sweep the way as silky fins Your cash registers will comb And diamond stars and firefly hair What makes the hearts melt? Who understands it? Why ships are sinking? Die in storms? Coming to the shore Summer nights and thunderstorms Understands the whole idea and let it be Ships are wrecked there Will not disturb the shores I promise you The tear is pure and Sea from now will be good to anyone The sun will shine and Baltic, NE, NW with SE,SW winds will be calm" P.S. Great way to spent boring weekend in Albany, NY as Capital District due to not many but more than like NONE entertainment on the weekend around for the adults, young adults and elders ESPECIALLY Saturdays and Sundays for the quite affordable price approx. $30.00 plus food/drinks GROSS approx. $60.00 unless you are young adults under 21 yo what makes your spending with the ticket around $40.00. Great, customers oriented service, clean as should be in any food preparation facility, restaurant, dinner, convenient store, coffeeshop and etc.. Albany International Airport HMS Host International actually would need ask that crew for the training and learn how to keep their food courts and facilities so spotless and clean, non-sticky :-) due to same requirements to job-sides of food courts operations. Yes, Stephano P??? LOL :-) Although was windy, rainy afternoon most part was very fresh and breezy except intrigued by live music trip it was just local station broadcasting and not many wanted to have a dance or friendly social conversations, jokes, trivia's as it used to be back in 2011-2014. Safe future travels, Apple Dutch Crew and next door USSSlaters !!!!!!!

  • Wonderful evening

    They said you could board the boat at 630 and you did! The first part of the cruise had narration of the river. It was very good and easy to hear clearly. The second half was music. It was not to loud. Perfect. They had waitress service for food and drink. I don’t think it could have been any better. Great way to spend your evening.
