Frequently asked questions
Why should I attend this event? Because Canada Day hits different on the water. DJs, rooftop dancing, a licensed bar, and front-row fireworks views — this is one of Ottawa’s top Canada Day experiences, and it sells out every year.
How can I contact the event organizer? Easy! Call 1-888-450-3991, visit ottawaboatparties.com, or email info.ottawa@oceanicentertainment.com.
Do you offer group discounts? Yes! Groups of 10 or more qualify for discounted pricing. Rally your crew and call 1-888-450-3991 for details.
Will the event be cancelled if it rains? Nope. Rain or shine, we cruise. The boat has covered indoor space and an open-air deck.
Is food and drink available on board? This is a party cruise, not a dinner cruise. A licensed bar and light snacks will be available for purchase. We recommend eating before or after the event.
Is smoking allowed on the boat? Yes, smoking is permitted only in designated outdoor areas at the back of the boat.
What is the minimum age to attend? This event is 18+. A valid government-issued photo ID is required to board — no exceptions.
Where is the dock location? Ottawa River Queen | Port de plaisance Jacques-Cartier - Marina de Hull | 160 Rue Laurier, Gatineau, QC J8X 3X5
Is there a dress code? All-white attire or summer party vibes are recommended. Look good, stay comfortable, and dress for photos.
What time should I arrive? Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before departure. Late arrivals may miss boarding — and the party waits for no one.
What is the difference in ticket prices? All tickets give you the same access. Prices are tiered, so the earlier you buy, the more you save.
