October – Onrust Cruises

As the colors of the Connecticut River change, Onrust will showcase Fall in New England. Step aboard the Onrust, a re-creation of Adriaen Block’s 1614 vessel, and sail into history with two unforgettable cruise experiences this October:

Onrust Foliage Public Day Sail
Journey along the Connecticut River aboard this authentic tall ship. Learn about the history of early Dutch explorers while enjoying the scenic shoreline from the water.

Onrust Late Afternoon Sunset Sails
Witness one of nature’s amazing color transformations.  Sailing as the sun drops low in the sky during foliage is a nice relaxing way to end a fall day. Enjoy the history of Onrust and the views.
