Very relaxing! We chose the evening dinner cruise. The leaves were just starting to turn and it was beautiful! You board in plenty of time for cocktails before dinner. You are free to move around, both inside or out, at any time. The captain was great to point out sights along the way, including a bald eagle he spotted in the trees! He even steered closer and slowed down for those wanting to get a picture.
I was traveling with a friend this trip, but can't wait to go back with my husband and do it again!
