National Eagle Center Cruises

The National Eagle Center is planning for another fun summer of eagle viewing river cruises aboard Winona State University’s Cal Fremling floating classroom and Treasure Island’s Spirit of the Water.

Starting Saturday, May 23 in Winona, the Center will kick off a series of 11 cruises, including two kid’s cruises in July.

This season will include a variety of cruise locations including Winona, Wabasha, and Welch from Treasure Island Resort & Casino.

These two-hour cruises are summer floating classroom experiences for guests, featuring expert naturalists, real-time interpretation of observed Bald Eagles and wildlife, and engaging audience Q&A.

The Cal Fremling and Spirit of the Water have an on-board restroom, indoor and open-air seating, and are wheelchair accessible.

Cruise registration is $60 for National Eagle Center members and $75 for non-members. Seating is limited and expected to fill quickly.

Registration is now open on the National Eagle Center website with the first cruise scheduled for Saturday, May 23 at 2 p.m.
