Island Queen Cruise
9 Bay Street, Parry Sound
Enjoy a captain’s-eye view of Georgian Bay’s 30,000 Islands, the largest concentration of freshwater islands in the world, aboard the Island Queen. Two and three-hour sightseeing cruises bring passengers surprisingly up-close to the pristine beauty of Georgian Bay’s remote wilderness and the rustic charm of its grand summer cottages.
Guest capacity is currently reduced aboard the Island Queen with physical distancing measures in place using directional arrows and floor markers. In addition to the standard sanitizing measures, they will not only be elevating the awareness and education of their crew members, but will also be increasing the frequency and focus of their cleaning procedures to ensure high touch areas are sanitized regularly and thoroughly.
