ST. LAWRENCE & OTTAWA RIVER JOURNEY:
A few features
UPPER ST. LAWRENCE EXCURSION:
Ottawa to Kingston OR Kingston to Ottawa

OTTAWA RIVER
This river today known as the Ottawa River was used for thousands of years by native Indians as a highway between the eastern and western parts of the continent. Recorded history began as late as 1613 when Samuel de Champlain travelled up the river.

In 1857, Queen Victoria chose Ottawa to become the permanent Capital of the Province of Canada. At the time, it was centrally located; it was acceptable to both Canada East and Canada West; and it was reassuringly remote from the hostile United States.

At the turn of the century, Prime Minister Laurier and his successor Mackenzie King worked to create a grander capital: "a Washington of the North". Today, after almost a century of planning and painstaking work, we have the beautiful capital of Ottawa.

OMEGA PARK
Nature is an infinite source of inspiration. A visit to Omega Park encourages the observation of earth and nature and all its wonders. In the comfort and safety of a coach you will explore 10 kilometers of the beautiful, natural landscape of a Laurentian forest coming face-to-face with many species of Canada's wild animals including bear, moose, elk and buffalo to name a few.

Client Comment...
"'Welcoming' 'Efficient' 'Exceptionally Friendly', all describe the crew. 'Our guests' wonderful experience began with the Cruise Director's 'Welcome' aboard the motorcoach. The 'personal' touch of taking passengers to their cabins to aquaint them with its features was the added 'bonus' that soon makes them aware YOU CARE about each of them and it instantly puts them at ease.

Thanks to you, my task as Tour Director was quite easy. When passengers ask me what my favorite trips are, I now have a new one to add!!! What warm memories will be recalled as I tell them about the scenic St. Lawrence and Ottawa River Cruise.

Thanks for all you do. Please express our gratitude to the entire crew."

Ms. E. Marshall
Tour Director
