Essex Steam Train & Riverboat’s 2 1/2-hour journey begins at the historic 1892 Essex Station for a 12-mile, narrated round-trip into the heart of the unspoiled Connecticut River Valley. The steam locomotive pulls vintage coaches through the quintessential New England towns of Deep River and Chester.

All aboard the elegant Essex Clipper for a 4-course meal served in beautifully restored 1920’s Pullman diners pulled by a vintage diesel locomotive.

Join us aboard the Becky Thatcher for our first, Muffins & Mimosas morning cruise! On September 11, we set sail from our dock in Deep River for a 1.5 hour cruise on the Connecticut River.
