Cruise Canadian Empress & Save
Our Canada-based QuirkyCruise reviewer Judi Cohen traveled aboard the 66-passenger Canadian Empress last summer along the scenic St Lawrence River, sampling this very special small-ship cruise.
The experience, thankfully, hasn’t changed much over the years.

REVIEW: Read Judi’s Canadian Empress review here.
This spring, experience the beautiful and historic St. Lawrence River and watch the waterway come alive.
With the comfortable and cozy Canadian Empress as your home base, explore the passages and channels of the 1000 Islands, or follow the majestic St. Lawrence into the heart of Montreal, passing through seven seaway locks as you go.
The best part?
For the 2022 season, all spring departures of the Canadian Empress, from May 8 to June 19, are being offered at 10% off the standard fares.
