      Premier Lunch Cruise on Odyssey
      Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch cruise onboard the Odyssey today, Aug 30/24. The weather was perfect, the staff was excellent and our meal was amazing and delicious! The dining room where our lunch was served is first class all the way, including white tablecloths! After our meal, we went up to the open air upper deck to take in the beautiful weather and the picturesque Toronto Skyline. We were treated to an added bonus today as we experienced watching the Snow Birds and the Red Arrows doing their practice before the opening at the CNE Air Show starting tomorrow. We live in Toronto and were very happy to enjoy our experience. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the waterfront, both residents and visitors. You will not be disappointed!

      Cruising Lake Ontario
      Cruise was great. Staff was very nice and helpful. Brunch was very good and plenty of food and selection. We sat on top of the ship with the rooftop open which was perfect. I would do it again but this time try the dinner cruise and dance.

      Great Experience
      Boarding was easy and well organized. The food was not showstopping, but pretty good. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. Even though it was a cloudy day, the views were amazing. Definitely worth it.

      Great Excursion
      This was an excellent brunch cruise. The trip was a good length and the food was excellent, especially the French toast. I would highly recommend doing this on a trip to Toronto.

      We had a great experience. Even though it was a bit foggy we totally enjoyed the view. The brunch was delicious had many options to choose from. The only thing we would have added was having a brief explanation of the sites Would certainly recommend

      Mother's Day Cruise on Odyssey Toronto
      This was not a great experience due to very limited selection of food and poor food quality. It's very different from previous years, and unfortunately there will no cruise for us anymore. No holiday atmosphere like on Northern Spirit ii, or kids activities. There were some cold fries for kids. And not vegetarian friendly, could have some beans or something.

      Fun times and great tour guide
      We bought our tickets through Toronto CityPass. Our tour was guided by Scottish Emcee Laurie. He did a phenomenal job giving us tidbits of the city, architecture, history, and keeping the crowd engaged. The crew did a great job keeping us safe and the servers were very attentive to our snack and drink needs. This tour was fun and worth the money.

    We picked a magnificent day to cruise. The weather was cool but pleasant. Our guide for that trip was a lovely local Woman called JJ. We didn’t pre book the trip but decided to try our luck getting a ride on the spur of the moment. At this time of year a lot of the tour boats I believe don’t start to operate until later in April but there was still heaps of room to comfortably move around and take some great photos of the Toronto Skyline. JJ certainly knew the ins and outs of the City with many funny quips about local identities and landmarks. A pleasant way to spend a relaxing one hour on the Toronto Harbour

    We could only spend an hour in Toronto before catching a flight out and we came for a harbour tour to get some quick views of the city, which were amazing. The staff were really helpful and even found a space for our suitcases which saved us some money on storing them. The boat was clean and there was sufficient seating for top deck views. This is a great way to see the city if you're short on time, as the docks are only a short walk from Union station.

    I went on the Oriole cruise with my family yesterday at 8:00 PM. Overall, we were all very disappointed (a group of 12). First of all, as advertised, it’s not a 60-minute trip; it’s a 40-minute cruise. You could have a better experience on a water taxi for $12 or on much smaller cruises.

    The cruise trip started at 8:04 PM (four minutes late) and lasted for 40 minutes, essentially circling the same area without going very far and not even close to the Toronto Island. After 40 minutes, the cruise started backing up to the dock and stopped exactly at 8:48 PM. The final 12 minutes were spent disembarking. By 8:58 PM, the cruise was empty, and the entire experience was less than an hour. It's not worth the money. There are better and cheaper options available around the harborbay on smaller cruises that take you much farther towards and around the back of Toronto Island.

    I travelled to Toronto for the first time. As a highlight of the trip, we chose this cruise as our evening activity on the last day. I was expecting the night view of the CN Tower and the skyscrapers in the darkness of the night to be beautiful. We booked a 21:30 cruise and went to the designated embarkation point at around 21:00, but the boat was not there. When asked an attendant of the another ship she replied that the cruise had been cancelled. They had cancelled the booking without informing the customer without any notice. My trip to Toronto ended with a disappointing experience at the end. I wish they had at least contacted me. This is a terrible tour with no regard for the customer.

    This experience was terribly disappointing from start to finish. There was a huge queue, no signage and tonnes of people all along the quays, which meant it was difficult to even find the correct boat. We lined up and when we got on the boat there were no seats left on top - only on the bottom. It was terribly noisy and hot with children screaming and people talking loudly over the commentary. The person doing the commentary had the most annoying voice I have ever heard. There wasps on the window you look out. The whole experience was excruciating. NEVER again!!!!

    Very nice boat tour with views of downtown Toronto and areas across the waterway, at a reasonable price. Didn't go too far out due to only 60 minutes time constraint, as you can see the starting location throughout the tour. Historian was well knowledgeable and the availability of refreshments/snacks on the boat were a plus, on this hot day. A must for tourist :)

    We took the 11am cruise on the Oriole and stood in the front of the boat. We took off promptly at 11am. The guide provided great insights into the history of local landmarks. The views of the skyline and islands were beautiful. A great wary to quickly see a lot of Toronto from the harbor. I’d recommend.

    First time in Canada and Toronto. Love the water, so decided to do a boat trip. Very friendly staff. Very busy around this bit of harbour due to the amount of water taxis going to the islands. Got on board and set off. Lovely views of Toronto skyline. Very informative commentary. I knew nothing of Canadas history, so very interesting. Would recommend and a good price

    A really great tour, which of course benefited from the good weather on the one hand and from the interesting information of the very charming guide on the other. Unfortunately, the announcements were not always easy to understand, but you could also ask at any time. Highly recommended!

    Visit made with the city pass.
    Nice to do if you have time because allows you to have another view of the city.
    I put atypical boat because they are chairs placed on deck. This does not interfere with the visit.
    Guide who speaks only English so not all inclusive;-)
    I loved the passage of the planes just above us.
