Another way to discover Canada with Le Boat

Madrid, January 10, 2019. Canada is one of the world's most enchanting and naturally beautiful countries, a place where there are always a thousand hidden gems waiting to be discovered. A land teeming with vast forests, expansive prairies, and stunning lakes and rivers. A true natural wonder that is a must-see. That's why, at Le Boat, we suggest experiencing it in a unique way that allows you to delve into the very heart of Canadian magic: aboard one of our boats cruising the Rideau Canal.

One of the greatest engineering feats of the 19th century, the Rideau Canal is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's one of Le Boat's ideal destinations for adventure and expedition enthusiasts, as you can create a personalized itinerary, with the only requirement being to return the boat to the base on time.
