City Cruises Toronto

• Come on board Oriole, a two-level Great Lakes steam ship replica, or Showboat, a smaller version of the majestic paddle wheel riverboat, for a relaxing 60-minute tour of Toronto’s inner harbour.
• Board the boat along Toronto Harbourfront Centre, a revitalized area along Lake Ontario offering fun activities and interesting places to see.
• Get a unique perspective of the city and some of the best views of Toronto's skyline, as well as the natural beauty of Toronto Harbor.
• Enjoy lively commentary on Toronto’s history, character, sites, stories and more, provided by your onboard live narrator.
• Cruise past the CN Tower, HTO Park, Rogers Centre, Redpath Sugar Factory, Sugar Beach, and more, and get views of Toronto Islands from the inner harbour.
• Don't let cooler weather stop you... stay warm and enjoy the sights of Toronto from comfortable indoor seating.

Tips

• Arrive at least 20 minutes prior to departure time. Please consider the high traffic volume in downtown Toronto when planning your travel time, and allow time for parking.
• Advance reservations are required. Consider booking early if you can because boat tours often sell out, especially on weekends and holidays.
• Remember to dress appropriately for the season.
• Snack food and drinks, including a fully licensed bar, is offered aboard the Oriole vessel. CDN or US cash is accepted, as well as all major debit and credit cards.
• Cruises have plenty of comfortable indoor space and are a great way to see the sights of Toronto from the water during cooler weather.

Best Time to Visit

• Peak periods are often in the early to mid-afternoon hours. Advance reservations are required to secure your tour time.

Accessibility

• Due to ship-build compliance requirements, vessels are not fully accessible. The Oriole can use a ramp to accommodate non-motorized wheelchairs at boarding; however, the bathrooms are located on the lower level. Access to the upper deck does require the use of stairs.
