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

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

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

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

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!

Family reunion

Daniel_O, Sep 2024
Very nice dinner buffet with salmon and prime rib. The crew was very pleasant and friendly who made you feel welcomed. We would definitely book another dinner cruise again.

Highly Recommend

Kevin_C, Sep 2024
Table server, Valerie, was excellent. Singer, Ashley, was just right. Good food, beautiful scenery, great service!

Good food, leisurely cruise, pleasant music.

Michael_P, Sep 2024
Nice to have live music accompaniment. Added a great ambience to the experience. Food was good, buffet well organized, no long lineups. Relaxed and enjoyable dinner cruise.

Great evening cruise

Joshua_W, Aug 2024
Took the evening cruise on a sunny night in August the crew and entertainment were amazing and the views across Vancouver were spectacular! We had a singer on board Angie Faith she made the night beautiful her songs with the ambience on board made it perfect. The servers were great too had a nice bottle of wine reasonably priced. Food great nice roast beef and salmon and a great dessert after. I'd recommend to anyone visiting Vancouver it probably works out the same price as a fancy meal downtown but you're getting the sunset cruise too.

Fantastic

james_b, Aug 2024
Friendly staff, Dancing, Dinning and the views. Although I wish we could have took the trip on a nice sunny day.Nevertheless it was beautiful beautiful.

Not to be missed!

Lita_L, Aug 2024
We played tourist in our own beautiful city and the sunset dinner cruise was a true highlight - unforgettable entertainment, delicious food and signature cocktails that really hit the spot. But even all that paled in comparison to the stunning beauty of Vancouver on this warm summer night. A clear sky, full august moon and gentle breeze made it a sensation experience. Truly a night to remember!

Brilliant.

TracyKemp72, Aug 2024
We had a wonderful time on this sunset cruise. Jamie our waitress was brilliant. Helpful, attentive, friendly and made the trip for us. Thank you.

Terrific

Rhonda_Y, Aug 2024
The crew was very helpful. The music was nice and relaxing. Dinner was amazing and the views spectacular. Definitely would do again

Well organized & enjoyable!

Jennifer_C, Aug 2024
Food was delicious and there were plenty of choices. Dessert is served later and was also amazing. Our server Valerie was very sweet and attentive. You have a reserved place for dining, but you can wander around the vessel or go to the top deck outside. It was fast to get everyone to their seats for dining. Dinner was served shortly after departing. The boat cruise was nice, around the harbor to Granville Island and back. There is no narration, just John playing guitar. It was dark by the time we got back, so the city lights were beautiful. Really my only complaint was that there aren’t any windows to open inside, so it was a little warm and stuffy, but again, you can go outside to sit and cool off. If you go in the summer, I would wear lighter clothing and maybe bring a jacket if the evening will be chilly.
