R.M.S. SEGWUN - Built in 1887
The term "one of a kind" describes the universal appeal of the Royal Mail Ship Segwun. Long before the era of modern highways, the Segwun, then a paddlewheeler, sailed the Muskoka lakes from early spring to late fall, carrying passengers, mail and freight to the many resorts and villages not served by the railways.
In the 1970’s, the Segwun was lovingly restored by a group of steamboat enthusiasts with a respect for heritage and a vision for the future. On June 1st, 1974, Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau officially launched the refurbished Segwun and thus started her present career as a cruise ship extraordinaire.
In 2001 and 2002, the Royal Mail Ship Segwun was voted by Attractions Canada BEST LARGE ATTRACTION IN THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO and runner-up for the national award. This contest, launched in 1997, recognizes the merit and excellence of attractions, primarily with cultural or educational value.
Today, the Segwun sails from June through October offering a variety of cruises on the Muskoka lakes. With a capacity of 99, the Segwun is the oldest operating steamship in North America and offers passengers a chance to "step back in time" to the romance and nostalgia of Muskoka’s past.
WENONAH II - Built in 2002
Built with all the style and grace of a 1907 Muskoka vessel, Wenonah II has joined the R.M.S. Segwun offering a variety of cruises on all three of the Muskoka lakes. Accommodating up to 200 passengers, Wenonah II combines turn-of-the-century charm with modern conveniences including air-conditioning and an on-board elevator. Passengers can enjoy three dining rooms and three decks offering the ultimate lakeview experience.
