Summer on the Connecticut River is officially here, and Riverhouse Cruises is bringing an exciting lineup of public cruise experiences aboard the iconic Lady Kate throughout June.
Now part of the Riverhouse Hospitality family, Lady Kate is quickly becoming one of Connecticut’s most unique destinations for live entertainment, scenic dining cruises, and unforgettable nights on the water. Whether you are looking for a relaxing date night, a fun outing with friends, or a unique way to celebrate Father’s Day or Independence Day, there is something special planned this season.
One of the most anticipated recurring events is the After Hours Dinner Cruise featuring live music by Brian Jarvis. Guests can enjoy dinner, cocktails, and beautiful Connecticut River scenery while listening to live music aboard Lady Kate on both June 4th and June 11th. These evening cruises combine great entertainment with the relaxed atmosphere of a summer night on the water.
For guests looking to soak in sunset views and cocktails without the added expense of meal service, the Golden Hour on the Connecticut River cruise on June 13th offers a perfect evening escape. Featuring signature drinks and snacks for sale, and panoramic river scenery, this cruise is designed for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy one of the best sunset experiences in Connecticut.
Riverhouse Cruises is also hosting a special Father’s Day celebration on June 21st with the “Let’s Celebrate Dads in Style!” cruise event. Guests can treat Dad to scenic river views, cold drinks, and bold flavors while enjoying a relaxing afternoon aboard Lady Kate.
To close out the month, the June 28th Lady Kate Public Brunch Cruise offers another unique way to experience the Connecticut River. Guests can enjoy brunch favorites, cocktails, and relaxing waterfront scenery while cruising aboard one of Connecticut’s most historic riverboats. Then we’re on to a whole weekend of celebrating America’s 250th birthday around July 4th!
What makes these events even more special is the full Riverhouse Hospitality experience. 2025’s Caterer of the Year, Riverhouse Catering, provides the onboard dining, delivering the same award-winning cuisine and service guests know from The Riverhouse at Goodspeed Station and The Society Room of Hartford.
Tickets for upcoming public cruises can be purchased directly through the Riverhouse Cruises events calendar online. Guests are encouraged to reserve early, especially for entertainment cruises and specialty events with limited seating availability.
This summer, skip the ordinary and experience Connecticut from the water aboard Lady Kate.
