Kingston Waterfront Cruise

Set sail on the unique Island Queen boat: a triple-deck Mississippi Paddle-wheeler replica, and tour Kingston’s spectacular waterfront on a one hour sightseeing experience. See the city and surrounding area from the best vantage point in town: on the water!

Enjoy cool summer breezes together with your family and friends on the famous triple-deck paddle wheeler: the Island Queen. Sit back and relax while live commentary highlights the iconic scenery of Royal Military College, Fort Henry, Kingston harbour and local islands.

Your cruise begins at the confluence of three major waterways: the Rideau Canal, the St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario. Kingston, the vibrant city we call home, has held strong political, military and cultural significance throughout Canadian history. The Island Queen winds her way along the shorelines of Point Frederick, Navy Bay, Deadman Bay and Cedar Island for an up-close and unique perspective on our past and present. From here, sail on toward the open water with views of Wolfe Island’s powerful wind turbines and the remote Garden Island in the distance. Take in views of some of Kingston’s most prominent landmarks including the Kingston Penitentiary, the Tett Centre, Gord Downie Pier and Kingston General Hospital as we make our way back into harbour.
