Itinerary

  • Paul's Boat Lines

    The Paula D is ideal for an excursion. You have the opportunity to see the beautiful landscape of Ottawa, and relax and enjoy a nice cold beverage on the large upper deck. In addition, on the lower deck, our passengers will find our canteen and our bar (with permission to sell alcohol). The cruise offers a spectacular view of the city and allows you to see the river as it was used long ago: as a highway to transport resources. You will also see the natural beauty of the region that captured the imagination of the first European explorer Samuel de Champlain.

Interesting Cruise

Published on Nov, 2024

We arrived at the port only to find that the departure time had changed and we missed the cruise. They were going to refund our tickets when suddenly the boat appeared to pick up a crew member. We told him how we had missed the previous cruise. He said, come on board, we will take you on the next cruise. He adjusted our ticket, we relaxed and had a wonderful cruise. All was good. We thank the crew of Paul's Boat Line so saving the day. We would recommend this cruise to anyone interested in seeing Ottawa from an informative and river perspective.

Amazing views. The tour guide (Pascale) was great and shared some great facts with humor. Its a lovely way to see both side of the river and just to generally enjoy nature and views.

Amazing Service

What an amazing ride!! Not only was the tour guide amazing, Sophia at the bar was such a wonderful soul to talk to. Her service was amazing and definitely exceeded our expectations. Would 100% recommend to anyone visiting the Ottawa / Gatineau area.

Elodie was very informative. A very relaxing cruise and a great way to see the magnificent architecture. All staff were very friendly. Lovely also to see the beautiful colours of the trees.
