Captain Keith Salt was a trusted, loyal and amazingly knowledgable and talented employee of the Island Queen Cruise from 1974 to 2016. As we begin a new season today, our hearts are heavy as we remember all the wonderful times we shared and all that he meant to our business.

Check out this video of a cottage owner playing his bagpipes for our passengers from the water as the Island Queen passes his cottage in the Long Sault area of Georgain Bay's Outer Islands! Every week or so we are serenaded by a fiddler, a bagpiper or another musician wanting to greet the ship. Canadian wilderness at its best!
The rest of the first year staff take an unexpected dip in the harbour!

Two of our new staff were thrown overboard into the Bay yesterday at dockside! A fun, annual tradition that we're sure they enjoyed given the hot, humid weather! More to come!
Passengers on our Festival of the Sound Canada Day Sunset and Fireworks Cruise experienced the rare sight of a black bear swimming in front of the ship - the second swimming black bear sighting that day!
