May 28-30 (Friday-Sunday)

Day 1: Welcome Aboard! Travel in comfort aboard our deluxe motor coach to the lush greenery of the Thousand Islands. After checking into the Riveredge Resort, a waterfront hotel overlooking the St. Lawrence Seaway for the next two nights, we are treated to a delicious dinner at the hotel’s restaurant. The restaurant Windows on the Bay is a casual dining room overlooking the main shipping channel on the St. Lawrence Seaway. Your accommodations feature a balcony overlooking the St. Lawrence Seaway.

Day 2: After a full breakfast we take a narrated sightseeing cruise of the Thousand Islands. Relax and enjoy the 2 ¼ hour cruise, which includes a colorful historical tapestry of the river, the islands, and the magnificent homes that you’ll view on this special cruise. As you travel along the narrow island passages, surrounded by the natural beauty of the islands, you’ll marvel at the majesty, diversity and originality of the island homes. Your cruise will include a stop at historic Boldt Castle on Heart Island where you can enjoy a self-guided tour of the castle and its grounds. George C. Boldt, millionaire proprietor of the world famous Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City, set out to build a full size Rhineland castle in Alexandria Bay, on picturesque Heart Island. This grand structure was to be a display of his love for his wife, Louise. Tragedy struck when Louise died suddenly in 1904. Broken hearted, Boldt halted all construction, and he never returned to the island, leaving behind the structure as a monument of his love. Following our visit to Boldt Castle enjoy some free time in the quaint Village of Alexandria Bay for lunch and shopping on your own along the waterfront. Later you are free to design the rest of the day and do as you wish! You may choose to swim in the outdoor or indoor pool, exercise in the fitness center, or simply sit, relax and enjoy the view from your private balcony. Dinner is on your own at the hotel’s restaurant or enjoy dockside or pool side eating at the Tiki Bar.

Day 3: After a full breakfast we depart for home with fond memories of a fun filled Memorial Day weekend get-away to the Thousand Islands.
