Fantasy and fun for the kiddies!
The steamship whistle has sounded, ringing in the official start of summer!
The Muskoka Steamships & Discovery Centre kicked off their 2019 sailing season on June 15 and will be sailing every day (except Labour Day), until October 14.
There are a number of ways to set sail aboard the steamships: 1hr sightseeing cruises, lunch cruises, sunset dinner cruises, high tea cruises, and fall colour cruises to name a few. For families, their themed Princess cruises and Pirate Cruises are the most anticipated days of the year.
A long-standing tradition, their family theme cruises are always a summer hit. Kids and parents love getting dressed up, and the Muskoka Steamships & Discovery Centre do a great job of creating a world of magic and fantasy.
Pirate Cruises
Their pirate cruises are big-time, role-playing fun! Kids and families are encouraged to put on their eye patches and dust off their peg legs to sail the pirate-infested waters of Lake Muskoka.
Cruises run Sunday, July 7, 14, August 4, 11, 18, 25, and September 1, 2019
