The tour will board a cruise in the Canadian Thousand Island region (seasonal), which features the more famous sights and views of Thousand Islands, including the renowned and romantic Boldt Castle. The castle was built in the 1890's by millionaire George Boldt for his beloved wife Louise. We will also see "Shortest International Bridge in the World", a small footbridge across two islands located between Canada and the United States. Afterwards, the tour heads for Ottawa, the Canadian Capital. There we will visit the magnificent Parliament Building, as well as the stately Clock Tower nearby.

The Notre-Dame Basilica, similar to its counterpart in Paris, has a wealth of exquisite detail, most of it carved from rare woods that have been delicately gilded and painted. It also houses le Gros Bourdon, is the largest bell on the continent. The second church on our itinerary is St. Joseph's Oratory, a major site of Roman Catholic pilgrimage and worship. The dome is the world's second largest, after St. Peter's in Rome, and religious pilgrims sometimes climb the steps in the middle, praying at every step.
