Family-owned and operated, St. Lawrence Cruise Lines offers one-of-a-kind intimate sailings aboard their classic Canadian riverboat. The cruise line has been operating on the St. Lawrence River since 1981. Those years ago, it was created with the purpose of showcasing the beauty and history of the St. Lawrence, one of North America’s most spectacular waterways.
While by no means the first to bring riverboat tourism to the Canadian river, St. Lawrence Cruise Lines was the first to offer overnight cruises. At the time, most small boat cruises on the St. Lawrence River only offered day trips, or docked near a hotel for longer journeys.
Each journey aboard St. Lawrence Cruise Lines’ Canadian Empress evokes the long history of the waterway. The ship itself features Victorian accents that harken back to the St. Lawrence sailing ships of old. With their small ship, St. Lawrence Cruise Lines delivers a truly magical experience while exploring the best of Canada via Ontario cruises and Quebec cruises.
While undoubtedly drawing from the past in its design, the riverboat doesn’t feature the drawbacks of old. On board, you’ll find modern amenities among classic brass finishes and ornate tin ceilings, all encompassed by an elegant Victorian exterior.
St. Lawrence Cruise Lines has been sailing the St. Lawrence River and Seaway for over 40 years. Focusing all its efforts on showcasing this incredible part of North America, the cruise line has become one of the river’s foremost experts.
When you choose to sail with St. Lawrence Cruise Lines, you’re choosing a family-owned and operated business that calls the river home. The cruise company knows the area like the back of its hand, using knowledge that could only be built from years on the St. Lawrence River to create the best itineraries for every cruise.
With every itinerary, an atmosphere of relaxation pervades, made possible only by the size of the St. Lawrence River cruise line. Not bound by the rigorous standards of larger lines, St. Lawrence Cruise Lines is flexible to your needs. Because of the relaxed atmosphere, you’ll also find a more casual dress code. It all serves to mimic the calm, easygoing waters of the St. Lawrence River.
