Discover Iconic Waterfront Experiences Together
The best experiences are the ones you share—and there's no better place to share them than on the water. Whether you're planning a family reunion, student trip, corporate outing, travel club adventure, or group getaway, City Cruises offers unforgettable tours and experiences for groups of 20 or more across North America's most iconic waterfront destinations.
From historic sightseeing cruises and exhilarating speedboat rides to whale watching adventures and scenic ferry experiences, every City Cruises outing combines breathtaking views, engaging storytelling, and exceptional hospitality into one shared adventure. Instead of splitting up across multiple attractions, your group stays together from the moment you board until you return to shore—creating lasting memories along the way.
