You step aboard as the river takes the evening—wooden docks ticking beneath your soles, gulls arguing overhead, and a cool current that seems to steer the conversation toward the bow.
The Lady of the Isles slips away from Brockville and the shoreline blurs into a scatter of rock and tree: the Thousand Islands. These islands are the residue of ice—glaciers carving and scouring, leaving hard bedrock islands punctuating a wide, navigable St. Lawrence. For over a century the channel drew steamships, summer colonies, and Gilded Age cottages whose lawns still brush the water.
On deck the Captain’s commentary points out palatial waterfront houses, fishing coves, and the subtle geology that pins islands like stepping stones across the river. Musicians set a relaxed rhythm below, while the buffet leans on regional favorites—roast beef, Chicken Marsala, seasonal vegetables—balanced with salads and local desserts.
Practically, this is an approachable evening: low exertion, high scenery. The cruise works well for families, couples, and anyone who wants an up-close look at island architecture and river life without a long hike. Bring a light jacket—the breeze freshens as you pass open water—and a camera with a steady strap; late light can turn windows and ripples to gold in minutes.
Arrive early to exchange your voucher and allow time for boarding and seating. Accessibility accommodations are available, but notify the operator in advance for special needs. Expect a friendly blend of history, shoreline drama, and the uncomplicated pleasure of dining while the St. Lawrence pushes you onward toward sunset.
