SUNSET CRUISES
Sunset cruises top the list worldwide as one of the most popular ways to end the day…so why not book a sunset cruise with the Norwalk Seaport Association this summer. On a sunset cruise time seems to slow down giving you the opportunity to unwind and toast the end of the day or celebrate the end of a busy week!
The Seaport’s popular Sunset Cruise slowly cruises through outer Norwalk Harbor as the Captain’s Mate tells stories of merchants and sailors that have used this waterway for centuries. Learn how Native Americans and English settlers enjoyed the bounty of Long Island Sound and how captains of industry used this area to develop trade routes that went as far as the West Indies. The narrative gives a new understanding of Norwalk historically, and also reflects the importance of this scenic harbor today.
As the vessel travels into Long Island Sound it will give passengers a close-up view of several of the Norwalk’s islands and the beautiful homes built on them. The cruise also passes three historic lighthouses, Peck Ledge, Green Ledge, and, the maritime icon of Connecticut, Sheffield Island Lighthouse. Architecturally stunning the Sheffield Island Lighthouse is a perfect example of Victorian stone masonry. Green Ledge and Peck Ledge are fine examples of spark plug lighthouses, of which only 33 remain in the United States. The view of these three lighthouses up close as the sun begins to set is magical.
