"Gentlemen, Let me thank you for a wonderful vacation cruise my husband and myself enjoyed on the Canadian Empress. It took me 2 years to convince my husband to take this ship - and now we are already thinking about another trip."

Mrs. & Mr. Tirrell

The M/V Canadian Empress is a 66 passenger replica steamboat. She was built in 1981 and designed to reflect the classic style of North American turn-of-the-century riverboats. The Canadian Empress is 108' in length, 30' across the beam and shallow in draft. Her size allows her to navigate freely among the islands and through locks, some of which are inaccessible to larger vessels; thus providing close-up, "reach out and touch" scenic experiences. One of the most appealing features of the M/V Canadian Empress is her intimacy and friendliness which, of course, is derived from her size.
