"This
is a quick note to say how much we enjoyed our cruise.
This is a "class act" as we Americans
say. We took this on a "flyer", didn't
know anyone who had took before... Such a relaxing
cruise - you have bundled the costs - no "optional'
day tours with added costs. It was such a relief
not to have our hands in our wallets. Hurrah, bravo
and cheers. This was a happy venture."

Unlike many cruise lines that charge extra for onshore
tours and attractions , our visits to historic attractions
and interesting sites are included in your cruise
price - there are no extra charges for these tours
and attractions.
While
the tours and attractions vary depending on the
cruise selected, some tours and attractions are
common to all, some of which include:
Upper
Canada Village
Upper
Canada Village, rated "Top
Attraction Award Nation-wide" year after year, is a world-class
living museum community recreating the life,
work and development of the early settlements
along the river. Passengers are taken to the
village by horse and carriage and as you pass
through the 1850 gate into the village, sounds
and smells of a past era are immediately evident;
the woolen mill, grist mill and saw mill, all
powered by water. You'll see wool become blankets
and wheat become flour. Make sure the Cruise
Director returns to the ship with some of that
freshly baked bread from the village. |

The
St. Lawrence Seaway and Locks
The
Seaway and Locks were one of the most extraordinary
engineering accomplishments of the decade.
Entire villages were relocated to higher ground,
utilizing the largest moving and construction
equipment in the world at the time. As the
temporary "coffer dams" were blown
on July 1, 1958, people watched with mixed
emotions. Slowly-rising water covered familiar
land forever. On most cruises, a major highlight
is the opportunity to pass through the locks
located between Kingston and Montreal, resulting
in an overall change in water level of 246
feet.
A
complete itinerary is forwarded with your
cruise package at the time of booking.
