This wonderfully lush landscape is dotted with luxurious cottages and vast estates located in the “Heart” of the 1000 Islands and surrounded by the beautiful St. Lawrence River.

The famous Boldt Castle, Zavikon Island and Millionaire’s Row are only a taste of the adventure aboard this International cruise in the heart of the 1000 Islands. This one hour cruise provides just a snap shot of the region, so is perfect for those with limited time.

Today, an ongoing major restoration is underway to stabilize and restore this magnificent piece of Island history. Passports ARE REQUIRED for this cruise.
