Touring the Erie Canal is easy to do when you board the family owned and operated Colonial Belle out of Fairport, New York. The ship has been cruising the historical waterway for more than 20 years! Open to the public, the Colonial Belle also takes on groups, parties and school day trips.

You can expect two to three hour cruises covering 14 to 16 miles of the Erie Canal complete with historical narration. Lunch and dinner cruises are also available! There's even a Sunday afternoon Erie Canal Chicken Dinner Cruise!

Prices range from $9 for the 1 1/2 hour Sunday special all the way up to the $34 dinner cruise, and many rates in between. (585) 223-9470 See the link below for full rates and schedules.
