TGIF Cruise: Spirit of the Sound
Start your weekend off with a fun relaxing boat ride out to the Norwalk islands aboard the Aquarium’s cool new R/V Spirit of the Sound, the only research vessel in the country with quiet hybrid-electric propulsion. Aquarium educators will point out sights and wildlife, but there’s no specific focus … other than a fun Friday-evening boat ride! Get back in time to enjoy a late dinner or evening out with friends … all just steps away … in SoNo!
Food & drink is not available for purchase on the boat. You may bring food and beverages in a small bag or soft-sided cooler. Glass bottles are prohibited.
Reminder that all passengers must be over 42 inches tall. Advance reservations are strongly recommended. Space is limited. Walk-up tickets will be sold, space permitting.
All cruises depart from the Maritime Aquarium dock, which is next to the Parking Lot located at 4 North Water Street (at the corner of Washington Street ), a short walk from the Aquarium’s Main Entrance.
We look forward to welcoming you back on the water, and as always the safety of our passengers and crew remains our top priority. We are closely monitoring the pandemic and corresponding C.D.C., State, and U.S.C.G. regulations and guidelines and will continue to update and adapt our protocols accordingly.
