American Cruise Lines – the only cruise line in the world to offer sailings on the Hudson River – has already tripled departures on the river for 2025 following the early success of the 2024 season.
The Hudson River Summer Classic, an exclusive 8-day cruise by American Cruise Lines, offers a unique journey through the scenic Hudson River Valley.
Departing from New York City, this cruise provides a blend of relaxation and exploration with stops at historic towns and cultural landmarks.
The cruise line has offered a Hudson River Fall Foliage cruise for years, but operating them only in September and October each year.
2024 was the first year that the cruise line tested pre-summer sailings in May and June, as well as the new Hudson River Summer Classic.
The early success has prompted the cruise line to expand departures for 2025 as more and more people look to enjoy a luxury cruise in this exciting part of the world, with cruises available throughout June, July and August.
Cruises offer incredible views of Manhattan and sail right past the Statue of Liberty. The itineraries include calls in Catskill, Albany, Kingston, Hyde Park, West Point and Sleepy Hollow, with excursions available in New York City itself.
