Treat the family to a cruise through Niagara Falls on both the New York and Canada sides aboard the Niagara Belle. This fully restored New Orleans-style paddle wheeler takes guests down the Lower Niagara River, through Queenston and Niagara-on-the-Lake, and ultimately to the mouth of Lake Ontario. Sites along the way include Fort Niagara, Fort George, General Brock’s Monument, and the Lewiston Queenston Bridge. Onboard you will find interior deck space with seating, outdoor strolling decks, multiple dance floors, full service bars, bathrooms and panoramic views. The Belle can accommodate up to 80 people for a seated meal, and 143 for cocktail and evening parties.

Sightseeing cruises are $25 per person (children ages 4 and under are free), and board at 6:30, depart at 7, and return at 9 p.m. Dinner cruises are $70 per adult and $50 per child ages 4 through 12 (free for those ages 3 and under).
