Canada

Canada is more than its hulking-mountain, craggy-coast good looks: it also cooks extraordinary meals, rocks cool culture, and unfurls wild, moose-spotting road trips.

Lunch cruise aboard the historic Wenonah II Muskoka Steamship, part of the iconic Muskoka Steamships fleet, offering a journey through the rich history and natural beauty of Lake Muskoka. The dock is located at Muskoka Wharf in Gravenhurst, Canada.
