FAQ - Niagara

Niagara City Cruises offers two unique experiences:

Viaggio alle cascate in barca

Hop aboard to make your way to an experience no one ever forgets. Get up close and personal with the American Falls, Canadian Horseshoe Falls, and breathtaking Great Gorge – and the thundering roar, awesome power, and amazing mist that come along with these natural wonders.

Oppure, dopo il tramonto, potrete vivere un'esperienza di nebbia leggera (ma ancora molto magica) con l'illuminazione delle cascate.
