Groups  

Take your group back to the glory days of steam! They'll enjoy the comfort of our restored vintage rail cars and get an unobstructed view of the unspoiled beauty of the Connecticut River Valley from our multi-deck riverboat. It's a wonderful trip any time of year.

We offer special rates for groups of 20 or more with advance reservations - contact our Groups Ticket Sales. We also can arrange for special private charters on our steam train and/or riverboat. Please contact our office for more information.
