The experience

Step aboard the Mystère and glide under towering bridges, cruise past aristocratic gilded age mansions as you enjoy a sightseeing cruise on the storied Hudson River in the heart of the Hudson Valley. It simply doesn’t get any easier or more relaxing!

During your two-hour sightseeing cruise you’ll feel the pressures and worries of everyday life slip away as we glide along our course.  Listen to stories of industrial barons, ladies of the Gilded Age and explorers of long ago as the cool breeze washes over the decks of the Mystère.  There is simply no better way to enjoy summer.

Empire Cruise Lines is the perfect way to enjoy families and friends. The Mystère is located within walking distance to the Mid Hudson Children’s Museum and Walkway over the Hudson State Historic Park.
