Creator's Key Takeaways

The Canadian Empress is the perfect antidote to the crowds and hustle of mega ship cruising.

The cabins are welldesigned with plenty of storage space, enduite sinks, and bathrooms with showers that are curtained off.

Overall, the space was limited, but we were impressed with the design and the functionality of these little stateaterooms.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a bridge tour at the end of your cruise.
Enjoy afternoon tea at 4:00 if not ashore on tour.
Check out the ship's model in the grand saloon.

YouTube Video Description

A perfect antidote to the hustles and bustles of mega ship cruising, St. Lawrence Cruise Lines 463 gross ton, 66 passenger CANADIAN EMPRESS, which was awarded the 2025 Ship Of The Year by the Steamship Historical Society of America, sails along the St. Lawrence and Saguenay Rivers. Inspired by numerous St.Lawrence steamboats of the early 20th Century, this little ship emulates the style of bygone cruising and sails on scenic routes between Kingston, Ontario and Quebec City, Quebec. This top-to-bottom tour explains how she was conceived, shows her complicated launching process and provides a deck-by-deck overview of all stateroom categories and public areas.
