Cruise Services

As part of its 2023-2026 strategic plan, Kingston City Council identified facilitating a deep-water dock as one of its priorities. Tourism Kingston’s Integrated Destination Strategy, a multi-year road map to enhance the city’s appeal as a visitor destination, also recognizes Kingston’s potential in the Great Lakes, recommending the city be positioned as a key cruise tourism hub.

Accessibility Dock at Confederation Basin

Tenders need to enter at the southern entrance between the breakwall and then proceed to shore.

The overall length of the dock is 135ft. The first section (slightly wider) is 44ft and the second section is 91ft.

Water depth in that area ranges from 8ft 1inch to 9ft 6inch along the dock. This may change in different seasons of the year.

The accessible dock is a registered occasional use marine facility (OUMF) with transport Canada for tender boats to land.
