About
As the best way to see Canada’s national capital region since 1936, your ticket on this Ottawa River Boat Cruise will show you Ottawa like never before.
Climb aboard, grab a beverage or a snack from the bar on the lower deck, and enjoy this open-air boat cruise as the crew takes you by the city’s most famous sights: the statue of famed explorer Samuel de Champlain, the Supreme Court and Parliament Buildings, the Royal Canadian Mint, and even a close-up view of the fantastic Rideau Falls.
Between sights, take in the beautiful scenery along the serene Ottawa River. See the lush green coastline and clear open skies that captured the imagination of some of the first European explorers. Learn about the history of the river as a vital transport system that helped shape the modern metropolis of Ottawa.
