I travelled from Scotland for my best friend's wedding aboard the Empress of Canada and it was absolutely wonderful. The staff, the organisation, the food and the willingness to look after everyone's needs was second to none. Could not recommend it too highly.

We attended a wedding recently on the Empress of Canada. Everything about the event was fabulous. Delicious food (including gluten free options) and great service. The romantic evening ambiance along the Toronto night skyline couldn't be beat. I wish I had known about this venue when I was planning my wedding.

We have done our end of summer staff party for the past four years. Service has always been great as is the food, beverage and of course the view. Will be back for sure.

I have been lucky enough to attend a wedding (first on a boat) and a party. Both were so unique. We had lots of fun, great food and music and wonderful ambiance. Truly a special way to celebrate!

Avanti has an annual User Group conference every year and we were looking for something to do for a networking event and decided to give the Empress a try. My customers LOVED it - everything about it - the venue, the staff, the fantastic view of Toronto, the food. Just as important, my team loved it (and if they loved it, I love it) - they found the planning team to be very professional and flexible towards accommodating all of our requests. Perfect evening! We will definitely be back!!

The Empress of Canada is by far the BEST Toronto harbor cruise venue. Jacqueline Casciola is a dream to work with and truly cares about the guest experience. Whether you are planning a corporate event or looking for a unique venue for your dream day, you can trust that you are working with the best. We highly recommend The Empress of Canada, our favorite Toronto Harbour and Island Lagoons cruise boat. 5 Stars ++++!

My company photographed our first ever wedding on a boat on The Empress of Canada. It was a fantastic experience with hospitable service, great food and a beautiful setting. This is definitely a great boat for a wedding or any event! Thanks for a fantastic experience.

This was the first time I planned a company cruise on the Toronto harbour with Empress of Canada. A veteran of planning company events and cruises over 12 years, this was by far the BEST I have ever had the pleasure of planning and personally enjoying! Right from the booking process, to the welcome from the Captain on board and the extraordinary staff, the excellent food and great time had by all, our party of 120 had an unforgettable time. The staff are still talking about it weeks later!
