Keep an eye out for local wildlife as you sail past the islands
The deck is a great vantage point to snap photos of the island vistas

The boat ride was very nice & the weather was sunny & beautiful. It was a guided tour so we got to understand what these tiny or bigger islands represent. Bring a warm jacket or windbreaker as it gets windy if you’re outside the sheltered area.

The whole tour was great,...

Ming_Z, Oct 2025

The whole tour was great, the facilities are good. If there was a food service, our participation on the tour could be even better.

Not bad

The people there are so friendly, bout The boat is not clean and needs maintenance. I hope gets better for the future

Beautiful leisurely cruise

Mary_A, Aug 2025

This cruise gives a great view of part of the Thousand Islands highlighted by views of the 2 famous castles. Although very crowded it is a very relaxing tour.

Poor ticketing system

Didier_F, Jul 2025

The Thousand Islands cruise was great, but the ticketing system is beyond pale. I presented my phone with the barcode to the ship attendant, but I was told I had to obtain tickets with QR codes from the ticketing office. Luckily, we were there very early and I had enough time to go to the office and back to the ship, but this was a real nuisance. For greater certainty, you have to realize that the email you sent me to confirm my reservation states "Accéder au billet" which should be in English something like "Get your ticket".
