Avoid like the plague

Simon_W, Aug 2026
Oh sweet children of summer, please do yourself a favor and book elsewhere. Poor communication meant we departed 90mins after planned start time. Took about an hour after boarding to get a drink. Only one bartender per floor. Poorly organized.

Evening dinner cruise

Niall_G, Jun 2026
This was a lovely evening and the food was better than expected. The service was really attentive too. Only negative for me was the background music was too loud and not to my taste (jazz!). Overall, it’s well worth the experience.

It was awful. The music...

Teresa_Y, Jun 2026
It was awful. The music was bad, the buffet was upstairs so we had to carry full plates down several steps. The servers were very nice.

Not good value and disappointing food.

David_L, Jun 2026
Pleasant staff, great boat, great location, dinner was a little disappointing - only two courses and not huge portions . It was cold too . Desserts were just bought in cheesecake , chocolate cake or seasonal fruit which consisted of unripe melon a small amount of pineapple and half a tasteless strawberry . Although we enjoyed the trip we didn’t think it was good value.

Family fun

Chris_P, May 2026
Boat was warm. A bit hot inside. Family had fun, food was ok. Overall a fun time. I’d recommend it to others.

Amazing Vancouver

Mary_H, May 2026
This was a lovely trip, great views, food was lovely and plenty of it, service from the staff was great too.

While the buffet dinner...

Bill_S, Sep 2025
While the buffet dinner was average, the service and live music were great, and the sunset was magic. Overall, a very enjoyable evening.

Great harbor tour and dinner!

Brian_P, Sep 2025
Had a great time, beautiful views. Music was fine. Food was really good for a buffet. Only mild complaint were the small fruit flies in the first floor dining. I am sure this will be remedied.

Extremely disappointed. I felt completely ripped off

Michelle_V, Aug 2025
We paid 220 for each person ($880) This is not accessible! Regardless of where you sit you have to use about 12 stairs up then again down. I felt chatisized for having a scooter. They had to make arrangements and put it in their storage are. The food was less than desirable (the roast was only rare or lightly rare). I am a very well done person. I asked for some well done and the person never came back We had to wait for about 15 or 20 mins each time for a drink. It was the worst dinner cruise we have ever been on. Do not let the ratings of 4 stars sway you. I am sure that it is the company that is positioning the embellished ratings.

The drink menu didn’t...

Scott_N, Aug 2025
The drink menu didn’t have a lot of the items on it . Beer on tap, only one red wine option . Food was mediocre

Lovely dinner cruise. ...

CHERYL_W, Aug 2025
Lovely dinner cruise. Food was quite good. Music a nice addition. Just a bit rainy though most of the view was still highly visible

Great cruise!

Deanna_A, Aug 2025
It was great to see the area from the water. The almost full moon was a bonus! Dinner was pretty good for a buffet.

Good enjoyable trip

Mark_a, Jul 2025
Food very good staff very good journey good but would be better if there was a commentary onboard giving details of what we could see

Scenic Vancouver Harbor boat cruise

Peter_D, Jul 2025
Good food but better scenery. Good weather a must! We have pictures that’ll last for a lifetime. Go for it!

Vancouver Dinner Cruise

Shirley_T, Jul 2025
Only issue we found was the food being upstairs & having to carry it downstairs to your table to eat. Thought this was very awkward. Excellent staff. Enjoyed cruise - some commentary on surroundings would have been useful

Dinner cruise

Andrea_M, Jul 2025
Outstanding when we arrived we discovered they had placed my brother and sister in law at another table several tables away from us near band. Staff was able to move us to a 4 top table away from band so we could enjoy the cruise together. Food was very good and scenery amazing. They even timed it perfectly so we arrived back at dock just as sun was setting for fantastic photo opportunities.

Assigned seating suggestion

Charles_E, Jun 2025
We went on this dinner cruise with another couple and each booked our own. When we got there, we found out it was assigned seating and we (my wife and I) were seated at a 2-person table right in front of the band. The other couple were seated also at a 2-person table however a somewhat better location. Before sailing the staff was able to accommodate us to have a 4 person table by the window. A much better and perfect location. My suggestion would be if you want to sit with someone that separately books their voyage, you call and link the couples together as it is assigned seating.

Great experience

Marylou_H, Jun 2025
This was a very intimate experience. About 40 folks total. Plenty of food. Great service. A little pricey but worth it.

The food was very good,...

Kathryn_S, Jun 2025
The food was very good, the views were beautiful. I had expected narration with history and info about Vancouver but there was none. That was disappointing.

An Enchanted Evening

Diane_S, Jun 2025
Stressless fun cruise with great staff3 and nice music. Very pretty scenery! Would recommend to anyone ther travelers.

Good food and service mediocre vessel

Donald_B, Jun 2025
Decent food and service . My complaint was having to walk up some very steep stairs to the buffet and then carefully maneuver back down. Seems a bit dangerous and hazardous. Would have been nice to have had a few points I of interest about the city along the way . Also the sound system for the entertainment was of terrible quality .

Fantastic

Paulette_B, May 2025
The crew and everyone involved were very helpful and courteous. We would definitely recommend this experience.

Lovely experience of vancouver

paul_c, Sep 2024
A great way to see Stanley island and city from the sea. Try to get a table away from exit doors as people always keep poping out to take photos! Book your return taxi before you go. We were told loads of taxis will be available but none present and we were 2nd off boat. 2 mile walk to hotel.

Very Nice

Chris_C, Sep 2024
Good food. Simple cruise, basically a meal and live music, access to a bar and good views. It was a fun time.

Harbor cruise

Sandra_C, Sep 2024
The views from the harbor were beautiful. The food was excellent. Ooh! And the entertainment, Angie Faith, was THE BEST!
