Fall Foliage Cruise to Milton

A breathtaking river cruise of fall colors

See more of the Hudson River than any other day cruise by riding with Seastreak on a luxury, high-speed catamaran! In addition to getting up-close views of New York’s stunning fall foliage, you’ll pass landmarks like the West Point Military Academy, the idyllic town of Cold Spring, and even the historic Bannerman Castle on your way to Milton, NY.

What’s special about this trip, other than the beautiful scenery you pass on the way up, is that you get to choose how to experience Milton. There are three ticket types – the Dubois Farm ticket, the Wine Tour ticket, and the Basic Cruise ticket.

• Incredible Views

  New York is an international fall destination for a reason – the fall foliage is breathtaking. And you don’t need to travel far from the city to see it! The cruise up the Hudson River will meander under the George Washington Bridge, past the Cloisters, and by some breathtaking views of the Palisades until we reach our destination of Milton, NY.

• Ticket Options

  Upon arrival in Milton, NY, passengers will be split into three excursion groups! Each group will board a dedicated bus to the location of their choice. Destination selections are made ahead of the trip, through the ticket purchasing process. On the way to Milton, a Seastreak guide will pass out wristbands to identify the members of each group. Changes cannot be made on the day of the event. Read on to select the ticket that sounds right for you!

   

  DUBOIS FARMS AND TAVERN

   

  Dubois Farms is an idyllic place to spend an autumn day. Upon arrival, you will be greeted by farm staff and ushered to the on-site pizzeria. Enjoy a lunch of pizza, salad, soft drinks, and apple cider donuts and then explore the farm! Visit the children’s play area, check out the pumpkin patch, grab a local beer at the tavern, try a treat at the bakery, or shop for locally sourced jams, honeys, salsas, and mustards at the farm market. You’ll also have the chance to go apple picking and join a tractor pulled wagon ride! You’re sure to leave with a bag of freshly picked apples, a couple treasures from the market, and a smile on your face.

   

  Lunch, the wagon ride, and apple picking bag are all included in the price of the ticket!
