Our cruise network

Brockville is one of the oldest incorporated cities in Canada, and marks the eastern edge of the 1000 Islands. Located at the east edge of the Brock Group of islands, Brockville is a convenient place for boaters heading either up river or down river to find shopping and entertainment.

During the War of 1812 a blockhouse was built on the rocky island at the waterfront to protect the town. The island is now connected to the mainland and the blockhouse has long since been torn down, but Blockhouse Island remains a popular spot with both locals and visitors alike.

The railway tunnel that was built under the town in 1860 to join the dockyards at the waterfront to the main east-west railway about 1 km to the north has been transformed with a million dollar sound and light show and is one of the most popular attractions in south-eastern Ontario. Admission is free and donations encouraged. Brockville’s newest attractions is the Aquatarium, a world class marine discovery and wildlife centre.

Brockville is the last port of call for the Tall Ships Festival.

Check-in at the Visitor Information Center at 10 Market Street West for information on shopping, dining and accommodations.
