Hornblower Niagara Cruises Opens for 2019

Have you ever wanted to get up close and personal with Niagara Falls? Now is your chance! Hornblower Niagara Cruises offers two public rides: Voyage to the Falls and Falls Fireworks Cruise. The Voyage to the Falls Boat Tour is a 20-minute ride that also provides a recyclable poncho, onboard audio commentary, and transport on the Hornblower Niagara Funicular – an incline railway that takes you up and down 185 feet of 18,000-year-old rock that makes up the walls of the Niagara Gorge. Along your funicular ride you will enjoy floral and fauna left untouched by construction as well as panoramic views of the Horseshoe and American Falls.

Not Convinced? Here’s Ten Reasons

Still not convinced that it is time to book a ride with Hornblower Niagara Cruises? Here are nine compelling reasons to make room in your summer schedule:

Sometimes it’s hard to slow down and enjoy life

 Maybe you need to get lost in the roar of Niagara Falls, the spray of cool water, and the laughter of your loved ones. Time passes way too quickly when we forget that life exists outside of working and other commitments. You deserve, and need -to make time, to unwind. Trust us when we say that you will be all the more productive for it later!

Your Instagram page needs some color

 Those pictures you have been posting of the flowers in your backyard are nice, but it might be time for something new. When was the last time you got out and took some action shots of fun places with fun people? Time to fill your camera roll with falls, fireworks and friends!

You need to bond with your kids

 Few things are as satisfying as childlike wonder. Imagine those big eyes taking in the mighty sight of Niagara Falls, the squeals of delight as your kids are sprayed by the mist, and their little fingers pointing out all of those colorful lights. Just imagine how excited they will be when you tell them they get to ride the funny uphill train too!

It’s time to catch up with your friends

 Experiences are what bring people closer together. The clinking of bottles over hearty conversation as you take in all of the sights are the kind of memories that last. Savor the people in your life. They are the ones that remind you that you are worth more than the sum of your responsibilities.

You need to impress your partner

 Mini golf might make for a fun first date, but eventually you will want to spice things up! Why not take that special someone in your life on a cruise? Imagine laughing together as you take silly photos in front of the Falls on a sunny Saturday. Or maybe a romantic fireworks display is more your style! Been together for a while and ready to tie the knot? Maybe consider proposing during a private cruise, or skip the bells and whistles of a full-sized wedding and take advantage of the company’s elopement packages!

Accessibility is important to this company

 Wheelchairs are provided on a first-come, first-served basis. Professionals are onsite to provide security and medical services. If you have a caregiver, their ticket is complimentary. Service animals are always welcome (but we should mention that other pets are not). Here you will find accessible bathrooms both on land and on the boat, as well as special parking spaces and plenty of ramps. Every person deserves a comfortable experience, so this company has made it their mission to cover all of the bases!

The food is delicious

 No matter what meal (or snack) of the day, you can always take advantage of the Riverside Patio during your visit. This charming restaurant features casual eats, frosty cold beers, and local Niagara wines – all with a breathtaking view of the Niagara Gorge. When was the last time you ate al fresco next to Niagara Falls?

Tours are featured in the Niagara Parks Adventure Pass

If you want to make a weekend out of your Niagara Falls adventure, check out these epic passes! From the Butterfly Conservatory and the Floral Showhouse to the Whirlpool Aero Car and the White Water Walk, there’s something on the itinerary for everyone. The boat tour is only the beginning!

Jazz up your next corporate event

 Who says meetings and work parties have to be dull? Breathe life into your next workplace gathering by booking a cruise with Hornblower Niagara! Your employees will appreciate the blend of corporate life and the empowering beauty of a natural wonder like Niagra Falls.

Now Get Out There and Work on that Bucket List!

 Not everybody can say they have taken a tour of the Falls, rode in a funicular car (much less knew what a funicular was!) or enjoyed all the other thrills of Niagara Falls, Ontario. (You have heard of Clifton Hill, haven’t you?) This summer, be sure to reserve your spot on an authentic Hornblower Niagara cruise. You have worked hard–now it is time to play hard!
