Helpful Tips to Know Before You Go
- In Canada, you are expected to tip workers, particularly in restaurants, cafés and other eateries. You should also keep cash on hand to tip tour guides and other professionals on land.
- The summer months to September offer the warmest, sunniest weather for your Canada river cruise, but other seasons have their charms as well. Spring is the perfect time to see the land in bloom, and autumn will see the scenery bathed in shades of red and gold. These seasons will be less busy than summer, too.
- Depending on the season you cruise, pack appropriately. Waterproofs are a good idea no matter the season, though showers are rarest in summer. Suncream is a must for the warmest months, and if travelling particularly early or late in the year, warm layers are important.
- Especially if cruising in summer, popular tours and excursions will be in high demand. Be sure to book ahead of time wherever possible.
- With the Canadian river of Saint Lawrence connecting to the Great Lakes of North America, you’re extremely well-placed to extend your trip into a Great Lakes cruise for a truly magnificent getaway.
Things to Do
- Visit famous Canadian cities. From Quebec City to the capital city of Ottawa itself, many of Canada’s greatest and most iconic cities are arrayed along the banks of rivers like Saint Lawrence River, presenting plenty of opportunity to explore the wonders these cities have to offer. Landmarks, tours and more await.
- Sample a delightful array of restaurants and eateries. Many of the cities you’ll visit on your Canadian river cruise are renowned for their foodie scene, with delicious tastes from around the world to be found. Canada’s French heritage will show in the marvellous French restaurants, and you can even try more classically modern Canadian favourite street foods like poutine.
- Kayak or canoe along beautiful waterways. Whether you’re visiting Ottawa’s UNESCO World Heritage canal or taking boating excursions amongst the 1,000 islands, there are many beautiful sites to visit with smaller or larger boats on the water, enjoying the sublime scenery and natural beauty.
- Explore culture and history. From local festivals to the array of galleries and museums, you’ll be stepping straight into a melting pot of cultures and traditions, with so much to learn and discover.
- Appreciate the wonders of nature. Saint Lawrence River stems from the largest bodies of freshwater on the planet and is renowned as one of the most beautiful rivers there are. Enjoy spectacular sunsets over the water every day, spot native wildlife, and take plenty of pictures.
