St. Lawrence Cruise Lines

St. Lawrence Cruise Lines was founded in 1981 and we are proud to be the Eastern Ontario region's oldest and most experienced overnight cruise operator. It is those 40+ years of knowledge and expertise that empowers us to deliver the very best Canadian river cruising experience for our passengers. Each cruising season, we invite our passengers to celebrate the magnificent and historic St. Lawrence and Ottawa Rivers on the one-of-a-kind 32-stateroom riverboat Canadian Empress. Aboard the Empress, our guests are able to journey from the remarkable International Seaway to the grandeur and magic of the Thousand Islands; from the museum community of historic Upper Canada Village to the imposing fortress at Kingston; from Old Montreal and the ramparts of Quebec City to the Parliament Buildings of Ottawa. The Canadian Empress is a grand ship with a warm and friendly personality. The interior is designed in charming early heritage style. Whether it is the heritage furnishings, or the brass handrails complemented by ornate metal ceilings, our ship recaptures the grace of a turn-of-the-last-century lifestyle. This classic style is perfectly complemented by our warm and professional crew, and a modern marine infrastructure that ensures our guests feel safe, comfortable, and ready to enjoy each moment of their calm water river cruise.
