With millions of freshwater lakes, rivers and several canals, together with oceans on three sides, the country harbours an impressive abundance of exciting summer cruises. With water everywhere, there’s no shortage of choices among cruise destinations, itineraries and vessels. A remarkable variety of boat tours is offered on everything from large ships to smaller intimate ones, as well as vintage paddlewheelers, rigid inflatables, replica steamships, sailing yachts and everything in between; in fact, the “in between” includes exciting tours involving watercraft as simple as canoes and kayaks. In the end, it’s not the mode of transportation that ultimately counts, rather it’s the experience of exploring the wonders of Canada, both on the water and during onshore excursions.
