Itinerary
1. Your cruise begins at the confluence of three major waterways: the Rideau Canal, the St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario. Kingston, the vibrant city we call home, has held strong political, military and cultural significance throughout Canadian history. The Island Belle winds her way along the shorelines of Point Frederick, Navy Bay, Deadman's Bay and Cedar Island for an up-close and unique perspective on our past and present. From here, sail on toward the open water with views of Wolfe Island’s powerful wind turbines and the remote Garden Island in the distance. Take in views of some of Kingston’s most prominent landmarks including the Kingston Penitentiary, the Tett Centre, Gord Downie Pier and Kingston General Hospital as we make our way back into harbour.
2. UNESCO World Heritage Site
3. Established in 1876, RMC is a unique national military university, where cadets are educated to become future leaders in the Canadian Armed Forces.
4. Located where Lake Ontario ends and the St. Lawrence River begins, Wolfe Island is the largest of the world-renowned Thousand Islands.
