Edmonton Riverboat

Extremely breath taking views from a perspective that not many people have seen before. Perfect for a summer night cruise and some amazing food and drinks to share with friends. I definitely will be looking forward to my next trip on the Edmonton river boat. (It's best to bring cash if you are lining up at the boat to get tickets)

A worthwhile experience. The staff was very efficient with the boarding process, and they were helpful throughout. Definitely recommend and would go again

We had the privilege of having a charity fundraising event on the Queen Mary and the views were AH-MA-ZING!! They were very accomodating, the staff was super friendly & it was an experience we will remember forever. Jason, Scott and their crew took great care of us and my family is looking at getting tickets to come back before the riverboat season ends... such a uniquely Edmonton view of downtown that's a must if you love this city.

We went on a cruise to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary. We had been planning to do this since we heard the riverboat was back in action! Boarding went smoothly. They have their own Big Rock brew on tap - Riverboat Honey. It is delicious! We paid for the prime rib buffet. $55 per person which does include your $20 ride ticket. So $35 is not a bad value for a prime rib buffet. My only complaint is that coffee was the only beverage included. Outside food and beverages are not allowed on board. Water is not provided, you need to purchase bottled water at the bar. The buffet included a choice of three different types of salad, roasted baby potatoes, honey roasted carrots, a rice dish, stuffed chicken breasts with roasted veggies and the prime rib with au jus and horseradish. Dessert was mini cupcakes. All of the food was good. The staff were all friendly and helpful. I was a bit worried about my vertigo going on this cruise. After joking with me about gravol patches, it was explained that because the boat has a large, flat bottom it was very stable and didn't pitch at all. It was AWESOME! The view is one that not many people have seen unless you canoe or kayak. It is breathtaking and perfect for a date night. I was sad when we docked and our evening came to an end. Thank you to the Captain and all of the crew. You helped make some special memories and we can't wait to cruise with you again!

Very cool boat! View was awesome! Buffett was great! Fresh fruit hot meal! I would do this again!!

Amazing experience. The charcuterie plate was a little bit disappointing, just 2 pieces of bread, no forks or even toothpicks. But it was delicious. The ambiance is really nice and the service is good

We were extremely excited to learn that the riverboat was coming back. We bought tickets online (website was simple and easy to use) and looked forward to Sunday all week. We arrived at the riverboat just before boarding time. It was our first time here so we did not know where to proceed from the parking. But eventually we stumbled across the boat just a few minutes after boarding call. We received a friendly hello and were welcomed onboard. We spoke with the greeter and he indicated that this was only their second week of operations and that there are exciting plans for the future. He was forthcoming with the fact that at the moment there is just a basic BBQ and a bar drink menu. Food choices were salads, beef or salmon burgers. We had just paid for the boat ride as we had plans to stop by Sir Winston's for fish and chips after. The bartender, and I forget his name (my apologies) was super friendly and extremely helpful. On my second trip for a refreshing drink, I made a comment of how a sangria would hit the spot and he grinned and said, "gimme 10 minutes - let me see what I can do!" He managed to whip together an ad-hoc and surpringly good sangria with the fruits on hand. I have to say the service was superb! They even wiped the tables down when we had a gentle spitting of rain. Once the sun came out, they offered up patio umbrellas! Great job guys! As far as the ride, it was the perfect day - sunny, warm and a cool gentle breeze embraced us as we coasted down the north Saskatchewan River. The ride itself was smooth. The river itself was very busy with kayakers, other boats and paddleboards. We met and chatted with people and we passed the time chatting, sipping and enjoying the beautiful river valley from a whole new perspective. Overall we both were very impressed with the experience and we look forward to what the future brings to us with the river boat. We will definitely be back. Great experience, great staff - just need a good a menu :) Thanks!

One of the most popular scenic location of Edmonton. The staff was really nice.Evening hours are more scenic , you can enjoy the River boat rides as low as 19$ . Parking is a pain for this location so please use public transport sunset view was stunning. A nice buffet included. This was a neat experience. I definitely recommend it.
