Ok gang, looks like the weather man isn’t stopping any of you. Both boats are almost fully packed and last minute purchases are still coming through! I had a quick peak at the weather network and noticed that the sun is now peaking through those thundershowers! Keep your fingers crossed…Regardless, it will be a good excuse to play AC/DC’s Thunderstruck while cruising the river and sipping on some cold ones!

The Canada Day Cruises set sail for the Ottawa River in less than 10 days!  Chances are you’re probably still trying to figure out which boat your friends will be on – which is wise, however you may want to make a decision before we are forced to put up the “sold-out” sign on our website for the 3rd year in a row.

Let us spell out your Canada Day Cruise options in more detail so you can make an informed decision.

Option #1: “Soak Up The Sun Cruise”

You can’t beat the original Canada Day Cruise. You leave the dock at 3pm and settle in for a 4-hour booze cruise along the scenic Ottawa River with 330 of your countrymen and countrywomen. Soak up that beautiful warm sunshine as the Ottawa skyline unfolds in front of your sunglass covered eyes. Enjoy 2 levels of entertainment: upstairs – patio, downstairs – dance floor. This cruise is ideal for: Canada Day Cruise veterans and Canucks that crack a beer at 11am.

If you can’t wait to get the Canada Day festivities rolling – you will relate well to the party animals on this floating funfest. If you’ve been on the water on the afternoon of July 1st rocking out with your wang out – you know that this Cruise has a ridiculous atmosphere and offers incredibly scenic views with an opportunity to get ‘the party started’. You’re back at the dock (with a glow-on) by 8pm and the entire evening is your oyster.

Option #2: “Sunset/Fireworks Cruise”

The fireworks cruise is Ottawa’s best kept secret (keep a lid on it). No kidding, this Cruise is a real gem. You’ve got the best seat in Ottawa…bar none…for the biggest fireworks event in Canada…period. Propose a toast to Canada’s 142nd birthday with a backdrop of balls of fire exploding over the Parliament buildings as more than half a million Canadians envy you. This cruise is ideal for: those hopeless romantics that love a good sunset – it just doesn’t get any better than out of the water watching that orange ball disappear behind the Peace Tower. And, for anyone that has sat on someone’s shoulders on Parliament Hill hoping to catch a glimpse of Canada’s biggest fireworks display. Not to mention a killer DJ, dancefloor, cocktails and 330 compatriots.

Option #3: “Canada Day Combo Cruise”

This isn’t for the faint of heart. On the surface, this seems like a good idea. Who wouldn’t want to spend the whole of Canada Day rocking out on the water enjoying that majestic summer sun, watching the sun go down and the fireworks go up? To pull it off, you really need to have your shit together. Remember: 1 drink on shore is like 3 on the water (or is that in a plane?). These cruises are ideal for: party animals, jedi knights, unicorns and anyone smart enough to take July 2nd off as a vacation day.

Ok, you know the drill, to purchase your tickets for any of the above three options go to http://www.mycanadaday.com/step2.html or call us at 613.816.4967 if you prefer to purchase your tickets in-person.
