Muskoka Steamships & Discovery Centre
Description
Historic steamship cruises and a Discovery Centre preserve Muskoka's heritage dynamically. Muskoka Steamships & Discovery Centre is a registered charity and non-profit leader in preserving, promoting and celebrating the culture and heritage of Canada's Muskoka District.
Our mission is to present dynamic, entertaining and educational experiences through our iconic steamships and the Muskoka Discovery Centre. The Discovery Centre is open all year round. Our ships - RMS Segwun and Wenonah II - sail from June 17 to October 9, 2017.
Segwun is marking 130 years a Royal Mail Ship during Canada's 150th celebrations. Guests can sail aboard a piece of Canadian history. Free admission to the Discovery Centre is included when you purchase a steamship ticket.
You haven't truly experienced Muskoka, if you haven't sailed on one of our steamships.
