Date nights

City Cruises Toronto

Is there anything more romantic than sunset views? We think not!

Romance is officially on board with the premier dinner cruise from City Cruises Toronto. Setting sail from the Toronto Harbour just before golden hour, you’ll take in sweeping skyline sights while enjoying a chef-prepared multi-course plated dinner with your date.

Take time to explore the magnificent vessel, the Odyssey, and snap photos out on the Trillium or Sun Decks for a reverse skyline POV. As the sky fades into dreamy shades of pink and orange, the evening shifts from dinner to the dance floor, with a live DJ keeping things going.

Pro tip: Book a window table reservation for the best views of the city!

Weekend plans

Thanks to its central location along the harbourfront, you can start, end, or sandwich your weekend plans with City Cruises. Pair a daytime cruise with a stroll through nearby gems like HTO Park or Toronto Music Garden, or cap off a jam-packed summer day with a relaxing dinner on the water.

The 60-minute sightseeing tour is the perfect way to glide through the harbour while brushing up on a bit of local history. Along the way, you’ll take in iconic sights like the Toronto Islands, Rogers Centre, and the CN Tower, all from a unique waterfront perspective.

No matter what your plans look like, it’s an easy way to work a little lake time into your summer lineup.

Group outings and celebrations

Once tummies are filled, it’s time to hit the dance floor with a live DJ and show off with your best moves. It’s an entire experience that takes care of the planning and details, all you have to do is show up and have fun. Plus, there are party packages to match a range of budgets.

For those about to tie the knot, why not do so on a floating venue?!
