You'll arrive at Uncle Sam’s Boat Tours in Alexandria Bay for the 12:30 pm Two Nations Luncheon Cruise. This international tour offers close-up enjoyment of historic and scenic wonders in both Canadian and American sections of the 1000 Islands. Professional guides unfold a colorful historical tapestry of the river, the islands, and the magnificent homes that you'll view on this special tour.   A buffet lunch is included.

At the end of the cruise, disembark at Heart Island to enjoy a self-guided of Boldt Castle. There are six impressive structures to explore on Heart Island; the Castle, the Power House, the Alster Tower, the Hennery, the Arch, and a stone Gazebo.  Exhibits in the various structures and a 15-minute video presentation offer a look into the lifestyle of George and Louise Boldt, along with a history of the 1000 Islands Region and the restoration efforts on Heart Island.  Inside the Castle the first floor exhibits are dedicated to the lives of George and Louise Boldt and the development of the 1000 Islands as the influx of "recreational visitors" began to generate activity in the islands.  Hundreds of windows have been replaced and beautiful custom made doors and decorative windows now enhance the entrances. The Castle rises six stories from the foundation level of the indoor swimming pool to the highest towered room. This tour gives you the opportunity to back in time 100 years to see how the elite lived and played.
