Kingston 1000 Islands Cruises
1 Brock Street K7L 2Z1 Kingston, ON, Canada

In just a little over a month, our crew will be ready to welcome you safely on board a Kingston 1000 Islands Cruise. As our guest, we'll put your safety first. Always. Our team is working diligently to prepare a fun and socially-distanced experience for our community to enjoy this season. What have we been working on exactly? As we continue to refine our various safety protocols, we've re-imagined our dining experience. The Island Queen will return to sailing the Heart of the Islands route with an elevated culinary experience on board! We look forward to sharing more details about our Brunch, Lunch and Dinner cruises in the coming weeks. Stay connected with us via our monthly newsletter at: www.ktic.ca/signup

Spring is on the way! Our 2021 season is set to begin on May 8, with a renewed focus on the health and wellbeing of every guest and crew member. Measures will include: - Reduced vessel capacity. - Frequent cleaning of high-touch surfaces. - Clear barriers in service and dining areas, and other distancing measures throughout our vessels and boarding area. ... - Active screening at boarding. - Masks for all guests and crew. We're glad to serve our local community with experiences that will help Kingstonians discover their own backyard this summer. We hope to see you and your household onboard! Reservations are available now for sightseeing, brunch, lunch and dinner at www.ktic.ca

Wishing a Happy New Year to all! What a year we had. Despite a challenging season, we had so many fun and memorable moments celebrating our #ygk community. We hosted Private Pod Cruises - on your own personal Mega-Yacht! - as our Captain says. We turned the Island Star into a floating dockside restaurant, shared some incredible sunsets together and built our very own waterfront patio! It was definitely not the year we expected, but we made the most of it. We're looking forward to 2021 and can't wait to welcome you back on board in the Spring. Stay safe everyone.

From our crew to you, have a Merry Christmas and a safe holiday!

Last week we sailed to the Islands for one last shakedown cruise before the Island Queen heads to the inner harbour for a well-deserved winter nap.
