Full Moon Cruise on RiverQuest & Onrust at Connecticut River Museum

Set sail for a serene summer evening on the Connecticut River with the Full Moon Cruise aboard RiverQuest or Onrust on Saturday, August 9, 2025, from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Timed to coincide with the full moonrise, this two-hour twilight excursion offers a peaceful escape on the lower river with views of local wildlife, scenic landscapes, and historic points of interest.

Guests are invited to bring a picnic basket dinner and their favorite beverage to enjoy during the cruise. While the highlight is the moonrise, the journey is always a memorable experience—even if clouds roll in. The ambiance of the river at dusk, combined with the gentle pace of the boat, makes this cruise a relaxing way to celebrate a summer night.

Tickets are $45 for adults and $40.50 for Connecticut River Museum members. Please note: this event is for guests ages 12 and up.

The Connecticut River Museum is located at 67 Main Street, Essex, Connecticut. For more details or to purchase tickets, visit ctrivermuseum.org or contact the museum at (860) 767-8269.
