30,000 Island Cruise Line

All aboard the Island Queen for a relaxing cruise through Georgian Bay’s 30,000 Islands, the largest concentration of freshwater islands in the world! Passengers can choose between two cruises, our Original Two-Hour Morning Cruise, offered daily in July and August, or our Flagship Three-Hour Afternoon Cruise, offered daily from June 1 to Thanksgiving Monday each season. Our two-hour morning cruise follows a meandering route past charming summer retreats that draw so many generations of families back to the inner islands of Georgian Bay. Our three-hour afternoon tour follows in the wake of early explorers as the captain’s bring the ship surprisingly up-close to the rugged shoreline of Parry Island and the Bay’s remote outer islands. On both tours, passengers enjoy a captain’s eye view of the islands as the ship meanders past granite shoals into narrow channels within an eco-system so unique that it has earned World Biosphere Reserve status from the United Nations.

The newest vessel in our fleet is our 40-passenger Islander! Passengers on the Islander have two tours to choose from, a lunch tour down the South Channel to Henry’s World Famous Fish Restaurant on Frying Pan Island and an eco-tour out to Huckleberry Island where the Georgian Bay Biosphere Reserve will lead a guided stroll along the shores of the Bay.

30,000 Island Cruise Line

Discover the rugged beauty of Georgian Bay’s 30,000 Islands, the largest concentration of freshwater islands in the world, aboard the 550-passenger Island Queen. Two and three-hour sightseeing cruises depart daily from the town dock in Parry Sound from June 1 to the Canadian Thanksgiving Monday in October.  Our two-hour morning cruise takes a meandering route around beautiful Huckleberry Island, past charming summer cottages and through narrow channels and shallow waterways that many locals consider the most picturesque on the Bay.  Our three-hour afternoon cruise follows in the wake of early explorers through the remote outer islands of the Bay.  These islands, shoals and waterways support an ecosystem so unique that the area has earned World Biosphere Reserve status from the United Nations.  Tickets for both cruises can be purchased online or at the ticket office.  Purchasing tickets early is strongly encouraged.  Free Parking at dockside. The Island Queen is a modern 132′ cruise ship, specially designed with easy maneuverability and a shallow draft, allowing our captain’s to meander into remote waterways and up-close to the natural beauty of the islands. The ship’s twin CAT diesel engines, twin five-bladed bronze propellers and special hull shape are designed to provide an extremely quiet, smooth and stable cruising experience.

New this year is the Islander, our 40-passenger vessel!  Four tours are available on board the Islander, a lunch tour to Henry’s World Famous Fish Restaurant on Frying Pan Island, a lunch tour to Craganmor Point Resort on McLaren Island, and eco-tours to both Huckleberry Island and Wreck Island where the Georgian Bay Biosphere Reserve will lead a guided stroll over the rocks!

Georgian bay.

The 30,000 Islands of Georgian Bay represent the largest concentration of freshwater islands in the world.

Georgian Bay’s 30,000 Islands have a fascinating beginning.

The 30,000 Islands of Georgian Bay represent the world’s largest freshwater archipelago. Part of the Canadian Shield, the islands are thought to be the eroded roots of an ancient mountain range called the Grenville Mountains. Although our cruises only explore a portion of the roots of these mountains, passengers will see enough to challenge their imaginations.

The Georgian Bay Biosphere Reserve is an honored designation.

The granite-sculpted shorelines of the islands, exposed by the glaciers at the end of the last ice age, and the windswept white pine forests that adorn the islands, create numerous distinct habitats that support a variety of both well-known and rare species including plants, mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians. The uniqueness of the island ecosystem earned the area World Biosphere Reserve status from the United Nations in 2004.  One of the highlights of both our two and three-hour cruise, the “Hole in the Wall,” is one of the Georgian Bay Biosphere Reserve’s “Amazing Places.”  To learn more about the other Amazing Places visit www.visitamazingplaces.ca .

Georgian Bay is rich history and culture.

Archeological records reveal long-standing Aboriginal settlements along the mainland and islands of Georgian Bay. In fact, descendants of these historic Aboriginal settlements still live and thrive in the area today. Early explorers such as Samuel de Champlain travelled among the islands and eventually opened the area up to commercial trading in furs and lumber and eventually shipping and tourism.

“A very special trip amongst the myriad little glacially-carved islands of Georgian Bay – such a different landscape than our home in Australia. So glad we chose this excursion.”

“I’ve been on this cruise three times now and it’s been excellent every time. Very professional staff, well thought-out route and lots to see and take in. It’s an afternoon well-spent with friends and family.”

Maurizio T.

“I have been all over Europe, the United States and Canada but the Island Queen Cruise in Parry Sound ranks way up there for scenery and enjoyment. The cruise was a true highlight of our Georgian Bay vacation. Don’t miss it!”
