1000 Reasons to Visit
Kingston is the gateway to the 1000 Islands, Canada’s first capital and one of Ontario’s oldest cities with 21 National Historic Sites, 24 Museums and a UNESCO World Heritage Designation.
Explore this historic setting with a day full of the Limestone City’s unique experiences: combine a Cruise with a Hop On Hop Off Trolley Tour to maximize your experience, and your savings!
The Island QueenThe world-famous 1000 Islands begin in Kingston and span the St. Lawrence River for miles. Our three hour Heart of the Islands Cruise begins with a view of Kingston’s UNESCO World Heritage designated sites and then winds its way through the small cottage islands of the admiralty Islands. You’ll see Polaris Island, Napoleon’s Hat, Wanderer’s Channel, and Bateau Channel along with historic and opulent mansions.
Join us for a freshly-prepared brunch or lunch on our panoramic, second deck.
