The Cruising Canada: Ottawa and the Rideau Canal TravelScope episode follows the adventures of Rosendo and his wife Julie as they Ottawa and take a captivating trip along the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Rideau Canal, aboard one of Le Boat’s premier Horizon cruiser.

“Taking a chartered Le Boat vessel down the Rideau Canal is a glamping experience,” comments Rosendo.

“Our luxury houseboats are like floating condos and are easy to drive,” said Le Boat’s Marketing Manager, Lisa McLean. “Our team provides an in-depth check-out to the boat crew and updates vacationers on everything they will need to know to navigate the waterways.”

“Le Boat also provides suggested itineraries so you can discover and enjoy Canada at your own pace,” adds McLean. “It is truly a great way to discover Canada’s beauty from the unique perspective of a UNESCO World Heritage site. There are many stops at local villages and towns along the Rideau Canal that offer their own unique activities and shopping experiences.”

Le Boat’s episode on TravelScope was filmed during Le Boat’s first fall season and showcases the highlights of the picturesque, Rideau Canal. You can follow along as the Rosendo’s cruise through idyllic surroundings, discover fascinating culture, historic sites and indulge in authentic Canadian cuisine.

Since filming, Le Boat has expanded their fleet of premier Horizon cruisers to 20 boats, with a planned four more boats arriving in 2020. Le Boat has also added a second base at Seeley’s Bay. The addition of this well-located base will give visitors the chance to discover even more of the Rideau Canal.

Le Boat’s episode on TravelScope can be seen on PBS stations nationwide as well as streaming on Amazon Prime Video in November. For information on the Le Boat Cruise featured on Travelscope visit www.LeBoat.com/travelscope. Need help planning your trip? Call 1-844-675-1669 or visit www.leboat.com

We cruised northeast on a 15-knot beam reach… perfect catamaran sailing conditions, watching the hazy shapes of the islands colourize and morph into crescent beaches, jungled ridgelines and rocky outcrops.
