The M/V Canadian Empress is a 66-guest replica circa 1900’s steamship combining heritage decor with modern technology and intimacy. All cabins are above the waterline with full en-suite bathrooms. Service is delivered by crew members who reside locally and dining is designed for appetites honed by the fresh clean air of the river. Locally grown ingredients are available and menus are announced in advance and are designed around produce from local producers.
The St Lawrence Deck is the main accommodation level on the Canadian Empress. On this deck can be found the St. Lawrence, Sterling and Premier Category staterooms. All staterooms on this deck are above the waterline with opening windows to the fresh river air. Also located on this deck is the Corner Store/Pursers Office. Guests can select between one double (limited) or two twin beds.
All 8 Ottawa category staterooms are accessed from this level as are both of the outdoor observation decks. It is also on the Ottawa deck you will find the Grand Saloon. The Grand Saloon in its Turn-of-the-Century warmth is where all meals are served and all nightly entertainment is enjoyed.

The Grand Saloon decorated in early heritage style, from the ornate tin ceilings to the velour drapery to the warm wood tones this is the epicentre of the Canadian Empress. This is where all meals are served, and where all of the evening entertainment is enjoyed. Your dining staff proudly bring wholesome pleasures to your table. All meals served take advantage of fresh in-season fruits and vegetables, even fresh bread collected from the pioneer ovens at Upper Canada Village. Delicious desserts are prepared with pride and care.
Sit back relax and enjoy some of Canada’s most beautiful scenery. From your comfortable deck chair or lounge watch as each scene unfolds. Join your Cruise Director on the sun deck for some fun activities including shuffleboard, kite flying or challenge your fellow cruise mates to a game of checkers.
This is a great spot to enjoy a book and listen to the commentary of the passing points of interest.
In the evening and after dining the Grand Saloon is transformed in to your private lounge. On each cruise, one of the highlights is the evening of big band sounds and dancing. On other evenings, light professional and fun-loving entertainment will add just the right touch to your cruise experience.
