Ottawa: River Cruise for Sightseeing

Experience Scenic Scenery on an Ottawa: River Cruise for Sightseeing

Step aboard the Paula D and indulge in a serene 1.5-hour Ottawa: River Cruise for Sightseeing that strikes just the right balance between history, scenery, and relaxation. Travel in the footsteps of early European explorers such as Samuel de Champlain when you cruise along the Ottawa River, learning about the land that once fueled great discovery.

With easy-on boarding at either the Ottawa or Gatineau docks, this river cruise offers you convenience and accessibility. On board, relax and enjoy panoramic views of Ottawa, the capital city of Canada, and the adjacent city of Gatineau. Enjoy engaging commentary offered by your bilingual guide in both English and French, which will highlight the river's history as a major trading route and transport artery.

As the cruise unfolds, you’ll enjoy unique perspectives of iconic landmarks such as the Parliament Buildings, Rideau Canal Locks, and Ottawa’s stunning skyline. Many of these views—including those from Gatineau—can only be appreciated from the water, making this tour a must-do experience for visitors.

As you take in the stunning landscape, enjoy a cool cold drink (for purchase) from the on-board bar. The large open-air upper deck is ideal for basking in the sun and views, while the covered lower deck provides a comfortable indoor-outdoor type space with a canteen and bar service, suitable for those who wish to avoid the elements.

This riverfront sightseeing cruise provides the ideal introduction to Ottawa's riverfront allure, mellowing and historic perspective in one memorable experience.
