This was a fantastic experience! We went in a group of four, celebrating our birthdays. The music selection was outstanding- something for everyone. Lots of space to sit inside and eat and outside by the water. The food was delicious, the bread was a nice surprise. The Captain was hilarious and the staff was attentive. I couldn’t recommend it more- worth every penny! I can’t wait to go again!

First time doing the boat cruise. We were on the Queen boat.
The staff and Captain were very friendly. The food was good its pre-made before you board as they don't have a full kitchen on the boat. But for the experience you get the food was acceptable. We got nachos and pretzels with some salsa and cheese dip to start, a garden salad with 4 choices of dressing, your main meal then desset. To us it was a good size portions of roast beef, mash tatters green beans and gravy oh and of course fresh homemade bread! Myself I got the apple crisp and my partner got the strawberry cheese cake for dessert. You get severed water, coffee and/or tea plus you can get 2 free soft drinks. They also offer alcohol beverages, beer and wine but that cost extra.
The information the Captain gave about the boats and the river was very interesting! The view....wow! What can I say. It's beautiful to see and so relaxing. We will definitely be back again!

Been on the dinner cruise twice and the experience was amazing both times! It’s definitely a fancy spot to eat and perfect for booking parties and other events! The food was fantastic as well as the dessert! Leading about the history of the Grand River was phenomenal! Definitely will do it again!

We had a good time on the boomer dinner cruise. The concept is nice and it makes for a great date, and the price isn't terrible. The staff were fantastic and the service was great - I had no issue with a generous gratuity because the wait staff and the captain were top notch. The dinner itself was serviceable, if limited and generally unimpressive. You're not on the boat for the quality cut of roast beef, let's put it that way.

But overall a pleasant and positive experience and a lovely way to spend an evening with a loved one.

The year was 1978 when the Grand River cruise was established. A family run business with love, respect, and admiration for nature and history. Everyone is so sweet, humble, and knowledgeable. It's organised and time well spent on this tour. The river cruise is as gentle as a lamb as you feast your eyes on the sceneries. The lunch was delish, and the fiddle show was a captivating performance. the botanical paradise was like no other, and the fountain show was grand. Overall, it was a lovely day with beautiful memories. I will do it again.

Really enjoyed our time on the Grand Princess for the Sunset Dinner Cruise.
We both got the chicken dinner and had the apple crumble pie for dessert. It was a lovely ride and the staff were wonderful! The captain did a great job giving some history and spots to look during the cruise. Would definitely go again!

Excellent service and a unique experience. Andrea, Jill and Captain Emily were great. Information on the trip was informative and not overwhelming to interrupt lunch. Salad and dessert was excellent. The chicken and roast beef was good, but a bit dry and not hot. This is the only reason for 4 out of 5 stars. However, given the meal is cooked before the cruise leaves and not on the boat, this is not a surprise. Scenery was pretty, however there are no spectacular sights on the river. The service and atmosphere for lunch is definitely the best part of this cruise. Will definitely return.

Large portions of food and absolutely delicious. Captain was very informative on narrativing the History of The Grand River. Fiddler entertainment before boarding was fantastic. The views of nature was so relaxing. Service throughout my cruise was excellent.
