What's included with Mother's Day brunch?

Brunch 🍴

Our famous brunch buffet is served inside the dining room but you may take your food and drink anywhere on the riverboat!

View our brunch menu and learn more about our food and beverage service.

Drinks 🍹

Half-priced mimosas for Mother's Day! Alcohol and soft drinks are also available for purchase. Coffee, tea, and water are included. We don't allow outside food and drink aboard, so finish that coffee in the parking lot!

Something special 🎁

A special surprise will be waiting just for mom.

Photography 📸

We hire professional photographers for our special events. We provide you with all the photos after the event.

Music 🎶

We love local musicians, and we'll have someone performing live during your cruise.

Seating 🪑

You will be sure to have a seat! Seating is first-come-first-serve. We can't guarantee seats outside but there is absolutely enough seating for everyone both inside our comfortable dining room and outside on deck.

For an additional fee we offer reserved tables for parties of two or four which include wine or drink tickets (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) with a guaranteed premium setting, which you may add on at checkout.

Dress Code 🕺🏻

Come as you are! Our guests often choose to dress nicely for the special occasion. Shoes are required, especially for children!

Sailing ⚓️

We are very hopeful the water levels on the North Saskatchewan will be high enough to enjoy our full cruise up river! Historically it has been ok.

In the unlikely event we cannot perform our full cruise we will still do a short jaunt in front of Rafter's Landing. You would be provided credits for a future ride to come and enjoy the full experience.

In the extremely unlikely event that we must cancel the entire event due to weather or safety concerns we will provide a full refund to you.
