What To Expect
Paul's Boat Lines
The Paula D is ideal for an excursion. You have the opportunity to see the beautiful landscape of Ottawa, and relax and enjoy a nice cold beverage on the large upper deck. In addition, on the lower deck, our passengers will find our canteen and our bar (with permission to sell alcohol). The cruise offers a spectacular view of the city and allows you to see the river as it was used long ago: as a highway to transport resources. You will also see the natural beauty of the region that captured the imagination of the first European explorer Samuel de Champlain.

5.00I grew up in Ottawa but never took the opportunity to take this cruise on the Ottawa River. It was a beautiful day and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. We saw many sites from a different angle on the water rather than just from the road. Our tour guide, Andi, was fabulous and had a very good knowledge of the city sites.
