Dear KidsOutAndAbout readers:

The Colonial Belle is the largest tour boat operating in the historic Erie Canal offering scenic lunch, dinner, brunch, sightseeing cruises, lock tours, and more than 80 themed event cruises & private charters.

A Family Owned and Operated Small Business Since 1989

Join the Colonial Belle on June 22 as they celebrate exactly 65 years of cruising since Colonial Belle’s launch date on June 22, 1961 with a special Launch Day Celebration Cruise.

Daily narrated cruises are available until October 30th this year. Many cruises offer the option of adding a meal. Three-hour cruises offer passage through an Erie Canal Lock with a 25’ lift! The full licensed bar aboard offers hundreds of beverage options and bagged snacks, too.
