Take a Cruise on St. Lawrence River

Cornwall Ontario – Celebrate Cornwall’s river heritage this Father’s Day and Canada Day with a sightseeing cruise on the St. Lawrence River.

Cornwall Cruising is offering a series of two-hour cruises on the two upcoming holidays, departing from Marina 200 on the Cornwall waterfront. The cost is $20 per person and the cruises will be offered on the 54-foot cruising yacht operated by Cornwall Cruising.

Enjoy the beauty and magic of this great waterway as Captain Jim Martell guides the tour, passing beautiful scenery, wildlife and landmarks along the way.

Points of interest on the cruise include the historical point where the Canadians fought the Americans in the War of 1812, a sunken wooden ship carrying coal, numerous islands, interesting birds and wildlife, ships travelling along the St. Lawrence Seaway, 3 markers in the shipping channel denoting Ontario, Quebec and United States – all within 500 feet of each other – waterfront restaurants, cute cottages, luxurious homes and much more.

“This is a great way to experience the beauty and heritage of the St. Lawrence,” said Capt. Martell. “It’s a chance to have some fun with family and friends on the waterway.”

Depending on the response to the cruises, there could be additional cruise dates and cruise options added in the future for the benefit of visitors and residents, Capt. Martell added.
