A Sightseeing Cruise provides a two hour trip on the outer decks of the Lac du Saint Sacrement. Sightseeing passengers can enjoy a casual meal or drink(s) from our Port of Call Snack Bar and Lounge on the third deck.

A Buffet Cruise includes either lunch, brunch or dinner. After the buffet is over, passengers may remain at their tables or roam to the outer decks. Sightseeing passengers are welcome to enter the dining room for entertainment and dancing after the buffet service has ended.

The Midday Luncheon and Sunset Dinner Cruises aboard the Lac du Saint Sacrement include musician Danny Lombardo. The Minne Ha Ha “Rock the Dock” Cruises have a variety of bands on their scheduled cruises. All cruises provide live narration from our Captains.

Strollers are allowed everywhere except the dining rooms on the Saint Sacrement. There are lifts on the Saint Sacrement and the Minne Ha Ha, but these are for wheelchairs, not strollers.

Service Dogs are allowed on the boats.

The American Disabilities Act (ADA) defines a service animal as any guide dog, signal dog, or another dog individually trained to work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability, who if asked, must be able to describe the specific task performed or work done by the animal. The work done or tasks performed by the service animal must be directly related to the handler’s disability. One’s disability may not be apparent (e.g. seizure disorder). A “comfort”, “emotional support” or “therapy animal” that provides support simply by being itself does NOT meet the definition of a service animal. If the animal is not individually trained to do work or perform a task, it is considered a pet under the ADA.

Other small dogs are allowed on the boats BUT they MUST be in a handheld, approved mesh pet carrier which fastens closed. They MUST REMAIN in the carrier for the duration of cruise. They are not allowed in the dining areas. We do not allow any other animals on the boats.

No, but we do adhere to the “No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service” rule.  On the Lac du Saint Sacrement and Mohican meal cruises, most passengers dress “resort casual”.  We do recommend a light jacket or coat for the outer decks, and flat heeled shoes for walking safely around the boat.  If you are attending a party on the boat sponsored by an individual or corporation, please check with your host for attire appropriate to their function.

The Minne Ha Ha is completely smoke-free. On the Lac du Saint Sacrement and on the Mohican, there are designated areas on the outer decks for smoking/vaping.

Smoking/Vaping is not permitted while waiting in the boarding line or near the ticket office. Please be courteous to other passengers and comply with this request.

No outside food, beverages or coolers are allowed to be brought onto the boats. We have cocktail bars and a snack bar on each boat. Exceptions are made for passengers with special dietary needs to include food allergies and baby food/formula. Passengers with special dietary needs should contact us at 518-668-5777 x4 to discuss their needs.

We provide handicap parking directly on the Steel Pier for the duration of the cruise only. We do charge a minimal fee.

During high volume event weekends (car shows, wine & food festivals, etc) and on fireworks evenings, we recommend you allow extra time on top of the suggested times above. We do not give refunds for late arrivals/missed cruises.
