Ottawa River Cruise
See Ottawa as it was originally planned by European explorer Samuel de Champlain—with the river as its main highway and natural resource. Relax on the lower deck or enjoy the fresh air on the open-air upper deck as the beautiful scenery of Canada's capital city passes by.
As the Paula D makes her way down the Ottawa River, you'll see the Parliament Buildings, Canada's Supreme Court, the Museum of Civilization, the National Art Gallery, Rideau Falls, the Residence of the Prime Minister, and much more!
