Quote: The Lake George Steamboat Company offers a variety of cruises on their 3 large cruise ships, called the Minnie-Ha-Ha, the Mohican, and the lake’s largest ship, the Lac du Saint Sacrement. You can choose from 1-hour fall foliage cruises to 2-hour meal cruises to the only complete tour of historic and scenic Lake George.

At midday, we boarded the Saint Sacrement for the 2-hour champagne brunch cruise around the lake. We sailed around Lake George, enjoying a leisurely journey with full narration of the history of the lake (which was hard to hear over the roar of the engines), live entertainment, and great food. We were offered an array of foods, from regular breakfast fare like home fries and sausage to fish, roast beef, and assorted salads. The omelet bar was a big hit with the passengers on our cruise. The brunch was offered as a buffet and we were served drinks, including soft drinks, champagne and other wines and spirits by servers as we dined at tables elegantly decorated with fine linens and gleaming silverware.

The view of the lake and Adirondack mountain ranges were the best part, at least for us. The fall foliage was gorgeous; it was peak color season so the intensity was radiant and sharp. The mountains cast a grand outline behind the historic houses and cabins dotted around the lake. We didn’t hear much of the history of those houses and cabins, so we settled in, content to enjoy the view and snap pictures.

If the rest are like our cruise, I guarantee that you will enjoy any cruise you pick. Just don’t forget to bring a coat if you venture outside on the decks for pictures- the wind can bite!
