About Toronto Harbour Cruises

A Toronto Harbour sightseeing cruise gives visitors a water-level perspective on the downtown skyline, waterfront and Toronto Islands. City Cruises operates a narrated harbour tour from Harbourfront Centre, while different products can include sightseeing, dining or evening experiences.

Cruises are a natural fit for summer sightseeing, dates and visitors who want memorable skyline photos without committing to a full-day excursion.
