13 Dinner Cruises in Canada Worth Booking

1.Niagara Falls Day and Evening Tour With Boat Cruise & Dinner (optional)

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 787 reviews · 8 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $111Our pick

Review of Toronto’s Niagara Falls day and evening tour, covering the boat cruise, dinner option, night lights, stops, transport, value, and drawbacks.

“We made the mistake for travelling to Toronto for a tour of Niagra Falls. We should have just gone directly to the falls and taken a tour there. We did not find the tour narrative on the way to be engaging, entertaining or educational enough about the area. The time it took to travel from DT Toronto to the falls was so very long! We are fans of local tours no matter where we travel and though our tour guide (who was more of a bus driver than orator) was a very nice man - very pleasant for sure - the actual tour narrative was not what we have come…”

2.Vancouver Evening Dinner Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 595 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $164

Review the Vancouver Evening Dinner Cruise, with sunset harbor views, salmon buffet, live music, seating tips, accessibility notes, and value advice.

“We went on this dinner cruise with another couple and each booked our own. When we got there, we found out it was assigned seating and we (my wife and I) were seated at a 2-person table right in front of the band. The other couple were seated also at a 2-person table however a somewhat better location. Before sailing the staff was able to accommodate us to have a 4 person table by the window. A much better and perfect location. My suggestion would be if you want to sit with someone that separately books their voyage, you call and link the couples together as it is assigned seating.”

3.Montréal: 3 or 5-Course Dinner Cruise with DJ & Dancing

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 294 reviews · 3h 30m · from $131

Review of Montréal’s 3 or 5-course dinner cruise with city views, local cuisine, DJ dancing, timing, value, and practical tips.

“Our server on board the Cavalier Maxim was very attentive to our dietary restrictive needs. There was live music - a wonderful lady played her harp during dinner and after dinner there was a DJ and guests were invited onto the dance floor. There was a variety of music which included Latin music. This was very much appreciated, but being from the Caribbean it would have been nice to hear some calypso and/or reggae. However, this did not detract us (2 women in our late 60's) from having a good time. I got to practice my French with a couple of amazing passengers.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 232 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $71

Toronto’s Odyssey dinner cruise pairs harbour views, plated dining, dancing, and skyline sunsets, with practical tips on food and drink costs.

“Overall, we had a good experience, but it fell short of being great. The service could have been better, as the staff wasn’t very attentive with our drinks and meals. The music was fine, though the lighting on the top floor left much to be desired. Perhaps I had high expectations since I’ve been on many cruises before. That said, a dinner cruise is still a nice addition to the waterfront and worth trying.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 197 reviews · 3 hours · from $98

Review of Kingston’s 3-hour sunset dinner cruise, with Admiralty Islands views, onboard music, dinner details, pricing, seating tips, and practical advice.

“Lots of activity and a little bit loud and a little hard to hear but considering the number of people it was to be expected. We enjoyed your new music man John and would recommend you keep him on board. The main meal - we had the beef was good - the salad a little sparce the dessert great and the special tributes to my wife with the Happy Birthday treat was a gem. We will be letting others that the whole experience was well worth it. Thank You”

8.Québec City: 3 or 5-Course Dinner Cruise with DJ & Dancing

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 116 reviews · 3h 30m · from $127

Review of Québec City’s sunset dinner cruise with local cuisine, Château Frontenac views, Montmorency Falls, DJ and dancing.

“It was a beautiful evening from start to finish. The food was delicious and fresh. The atmosphere was relaxing during our dinner the view serene. The servants pleasant and attentive and very mannerly. The only negative is the younger generation that evening on the dance floor breaking glasses and spilling their drinks. I felt bad for the one employee that had to intervene while being snubbed. There should not be allowed drinking on the dance floor only at your tables. Other than this we had a blast. It was great weather.”

Also it would have been nice to have a bit more time at dinner. Great evening on the water and the sunset was gorgeous.”
