“Ships at a distance have every man’s wish on board.” — Zora Neale Hurston
Based on the following description of the “Harbor Aboard City Cruises”, my family decided to make a reservation to sail:
"Take a break from seeing Toronto by land to see it from the harbour aboard City Cruises Toronto! Discover the historic and contemporary sites and nuances of Toronto Harbour during this fun, informative and fully narrated 60-minute Sightseeing Harbour Tour. Enjoy the relaxing breeze, spectacular skyline, and harbour views, plus a fully licensed beverage and snack bar. With the option of an indoor deck, you'll be comfortable in any season. Come on board Oriole, a two-level Great Lakes steam ship replica, or Showboat, a smaller version of the majestic paddle wheel riverboat, for a relaxing 60-minute tour of Toronto’s inner harbour. Get a unique perspective of the city and some of the best views of Toronto's skyline and the natural beauty of Toronto Harbour. Enjoy lively commentary on Toronto’s history, character, sites, stories and more, provided by yours on board live narrator. Cruise past the CN Tower, HTO Park, Rogers Centre, Redpath Sugar Factory, Sugar Beach, View of Toronto Islands from the inner harbour, and more. Food and drinks available for purchase."

The trip was informative and relaxing. Enjoying the ride with my son Zubair.
The CN Tower can be clearly seen in the background.
After the one-hour tour, my son Zubair, wife and daughter-in-law were seen on deck disembarking the boat.
My message to the readers, do add the cruise ride to your itinerary during a visit to this part of the world.
