Cruises Aboard Onrust
The Connecticut River Museum hosts the Onrust, a re-creation of the vessel Adriaen Block built in 1614. Onrust is available for public cruises and private charters.
Built over several years in upstate New York using traditional plans and means, the Onrust is a wholly unique ship that serves to educate and entertain visitors curious about the age of exploration, the fur trade, and our early colonial history.
River cruises are offered Thursdays through Sundays. While at dock, the Onrust is available for exploration. (based on staff availability). To book a private charter aboard Onrust, please call Cathy Malin, Director of Visitor Experience, 860.767.8269, extension 118, for more information.
Learn more about the history of the Onrust and the construction of this amazing replica at the official website of the Onrust Project.
