The Prairie Lily

Cruising on the Prairie Lily you’ll see the natural beauty of the Meewasin Valley, the welcoming of our downtown, the friendliness of River Landing and the personality of our living river. We look forward to welcoming passengers for a cruise, dinner or brunch.

COVID-19

Our current plan is to commence our 2020 season on Wednesday, July 1, 2020.  

Our season is delayed two months with the April 5, 2020 Government of Canada prohibition of all Canadian commercial marine vessels with a capacity of more than 12 passengers from engaging in non-essential activities, such as tourism or recreation.  This measure remains in place until at least June 30, 2020.

While we are hopeful we can welcome you after that, we have decided to block bookings for the time being.  If you have a date you would like us to hold for you, please email us at office@theprairielily.com  with your name, number of guests, phone number and dietary restrictions we need to be aware of.  We will not be accepting payments at this time but will work with guests to accommodate you as we are able.

Thanks to everyone for your patience and understanding. We’ll get through this!

Gift Certificates are a perfect gift idea for Birthdays, Anniversaries, Special Occasions and Christmas. You can purchase certificates in denominations for $25, $50, $75 or $100 to be applied to Cruise, Dinner or Brunch tickets.  You can purchase them at any time, on line and include a personalized message. Get all gift certificates by clicking here.

Once you complete your order, you will be emailed a downloadable/printable certificate to present to the person or people you wish to treat to the Prairie Lily. It will let them know what their gift is, how to redeem it. Gift Certificates do not expire. No matter how you package it, the Prairie Lily is special gift anyone can enjoy!

Parking – Please allow plenty of time to find parking. With the other great venues in our neighbourhood, it can be very difficult to get a spot in our lots. We encourage people to come early or consider car pooling, planning a short walk, or taking alternate transportation. You can park in the lot closest to the Children’s Wonderhub, the lot across the street at Playland park AND the Kinsmen Park lot by the YWCA off 6th Ave. We are part of Kinsmen Park and you may park in any lot. The lot by the YWCA is often more available than the other two – please try there!

Whether it is a business luncheon or dinner or a family celebration, you can rent part or all of the Prairie Lily. If you’d like, we can arrange dinner too. Our caterer would be pleased to make a special meal for you to suit your taste and budget. Dinner with a cruise starts at $56 per person and can range from appetizers to a plated three-course meal. Please call Joan at our office at 306-955-5459, extension 3, to discuss your event. Sailings are open to July 2 – October 11, 2020.
