Cruises visiting Kingston

Located at the intersection of the St. Lawrence River, the Rideau Canal and Lake Ontario, Kingston takes pride in having been the first capital of Canada, from 1841 to 1844, before Ottawa. Kingston is often called “Limestone City”, for the many heritage buildings built from this local stone. You will disembark right near the town hall to discover Kingston’s major sights, such as the waterfront and its well-preserved architecture, the farmers’ market, and the many museums (PumpHouse - the transportation museum, the Penitentiary Museum, etc.). One not-to-be-missed visit is Fort Henry, a military fort built in the early 19th century to defend this vital shipping route.
