Ontario Waterway Cruises, ON, Canada -

Make your experience the best summer of your life, by working on the water, meeting people from a range of backgrounds and learning new abilities. Work in friendly team environment and live aboard ship with the rest of the crew, as the ship becomes your home away from home. Venture off the ship to explore the communities and heritage waterways to enhance your experience, or simply enjoy a few hours off, boating on the water.

When you work for our small, family owned, and operated company for the summer, you are not just a number, you become part of the Kawartha Voyageur family. Your experience, while hard work is definitely involved, will come with an unparalleled opportunity to meet new people, explore communities in small town Ontario, unique access to the heritage waterways of Canada and a job that when the weather is just right, all work pauses for a swim stop! Expand your knowledge of yourself and your capabilities in a well-organized environment. Fresh air, nature, and positivity, what could be better than working on the water for your summer experience.

The Rideau Canal is a chain of beautiful lakes, rivers and locks extending 202 km from Kingston, at the east end of Lake Ontario to Ottawa, Canada’s capital city. Completed in 1832 by the British, this historic waterway with its 45 locks and 19 km of canal cuts is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site carefully maintained and operated by Parks Canada. Parks Canada has also designated the Rideau as a Canadian Heritage River.
