Enhance your cruise and extend your trip with a carefully designed programme.

Day 1 – Toronto/Niagara Falls/Toronto

After disembarkation procedures are completed, you will be greeted at the port by our local representative.

Depart on your tour of the two Niagara’s (about 2 hours drive). Niagara-on-the-Lake and Niagara Falls featured prominently in the “War of 1812” as the young American republic to the south made a bid to invade the British Colony of Upper Canada and include all of North America in their growing country. This bid failed and a series of running battles and skirmishes took place at many locations between Niagara-on-the-Lake and Niagara Falls.

To fully understand the power of Niagara Falls, you will participate in the attraction “Journey behind the falls”. You will first need to descend 125 feet and explore the 130-yearold tunnels running throughout this bedrock. As you transit the passages you will feel the thunderous vibration of the Horseshoe Falls well before you see them. The observation deck at the foot of this 13-storeytall wonder is an unforgettable sight (and you might become a little bit wet), but we urge you to spend time looking the viewing portals cut straight through the rock, offering a once-in-a-lifetime view of one-fifth of the world’s fresh water crashing down in front of you.

Transfer from Niagara Falls to a local vineyard.

Lunch will be served at the vineyard with wine pairings.

You will enjoy a panoramic tour effort of Niagara on the Lake, and then you will be transferred to your hotel Fairmont Royal York 5*.
