Explore Canada’s Hidden Gems by Boat- No boat license required! 

With a fleet of 32 Horizon Cruisers in Canada, ranging from 2- to 5-cabin boats, Le Boat offers luxury, comfort, and adventure all in one. You can choose between a 7+ night voyage or a short 3-6 night escape along Ontario’s two most scenic waterways:


The UNESCO World Heritage Rideau Canal: Cruise through historic locks, past charming waterfront villages, and alongside stunning Canadian wilderness. Stop at waterside restaurants, explore small towns, and soak in the beauty of one of Canada’s most famous boating destinations.

The Trent-Severn Waterway: A boater’s paradise filled with stunning landscapes, unique canal systems, and countless spots to fish, swim, or relax. The legendary and world’s largest, the Peterborough Lift Lock and picturesque Kawartha Lakes are just a couple of highlights along this incredible route.

Both waterways are operated by Parks Canada and officially open for the season on May 15, 2025, running until October 13, 2025—perfect for a spring, summer, or fall adventure.

Why Staycation with Le Boat?
With the rising cost of international travel and the fluctuating Canadian dollar, many Canadians are opting for a staycation this year. According to Lisa McLean, Long Haul Marketing Manager at Le Boat, our Ontario cruising routes offer a spectacular way to explore our own backyard in style and comfort. “Our houseboating vacations let everyone experience Canada’s most beautiful waterways from the comfort of your own private ‘floating cottage’. No boat license? No problem! Anyone can captain our boats after our in-depth training session and with easy controls and bow and stern trusters.  Plus, by staying in Canada, travellers can shop Canadian and support small local business, shops and restaurants on the waterways and discover hidden gems!”

The 13% tax savings apply to all Canadian bookings made online, through Le Boat reservation team, or via your trusted travel agent. Don’t miss your chance to lock in an incredible staycation scape—book before March 3, 2025!
