Itinerary
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.
UNESCO World Heritage Site
Established in 1876, RMC is a unique national military university, where cadets are educated to become future leaders in the Canadian Armed Forces.
Located where Lake Ontario ends and the St. Lawrence River begins, Wolfe Island is the largest of the world-renowned Thousand Islands.

About Kingston
Kingston is a limestone city on Lake Ontario where the St Lawrence River begins, with a fort, a historic downtown, a waterfront and the Thousand Islands.
Kingston sits where Lake Ontario drains into the St Lawrence River, at the head of the Thousand Islands, in eastern Ontario. It was briefly the first capital of the united Province of Canada, from 1841 to 1844, and its limestone buildings, including a domed City Hall from the 1840s, give it the nickname Limestone City.
