MUSKOKA STEAMSHIPS > STEAMSHIP PRIVATE EVENTS

RMS Segwun and Wenonah II may be chartered for private use. Many memorable weddings, anniversaries, ceremonies, corporate outings, fundraisers, and birthday celebrations have been celebrated aboard over the years. These classic vessels have become the ultimate setting for social entertaining.  The historic charm and warm, intimate ambiance are unparalleled as these historic ships cruise past palatial summer homes on the scenic Muskoka Lakes.

Whether you are rewarding employees, celebrating a milestone in your life, or even applauding a victory, we can make your event seamless by looking after all the little details, including booking a lively musical group, or arranging a custom flag flying proudly from the bow. Allow us to help in the planning stages by arranging catering, photography or even the minister.

Chartering (Renting) our Ships:

Our ships are chartered by the hour and this allows you to build your cruise itinerary to the desired time and length, thus you can create an occasion to remember.

We are fully licensed by the L.L.B.O. and offer food service ranging from hors d’oeuvres and platters to a full service dinner. We can even work with the caterer of your choice. For more bar and menu options please speak with one of our event planners.

Muskoka Wharf in Gravenhurst is the home port to the Muskoka Steamships. For a truly exclusive event, the ship can make a “house call” and pick your group up at many Muskoka resorts and private cottage docks – see below for more options and ports of call!

Launched in May of 2002, Wenonah II is Canada’s newest passenger vessel! Combining all the style and grace of 1907 vessels and the modern conveniences such as air-conditioning and an elevator, Wenonah II truly offers a luxurious setting for wedding celebrations. Wenonah was built with entertaining in mind and offers ample room for live music and dancing on the 2nd deck.
