Join Us for a Cruise on Our New Research Vessel This Summer!

We are thrilled to officially launch our new research vessel, R/V Sound Explorer, just in time for summer! Beginning on June 25, join us to learn about nature, wildlife and conservation while cruising Long Island Sound.

During our Marine Life Encounter Cruises, passengers will learn about the biodiversity of the Sound alongside Aquarium scientists and educators, featuring a plankton tow that brings up fish, crabs, mollusks and more. For those looking for a more casual cruise, our Sunset Cruises offer a unique perspective on the beauty of the Norwalk islands and surrounding wildlife.
