Chi-Cheemaun Fall Cruise returns October 27

Tickets go on sale September 10 for the annual Chi-Cheemaun fall cruise, a popular end-of-season tradition.

The four-and-a-half-hour passenger-only voyage takes place October 27, 2025 as the ferry makes its final trip from Tobermory to Owen Sound for winter docking. The cruise features a buffet lunch with the traditional roast beef option and live music from Al Crawford of Late Night Radio.

Fares are $80 for adults and seniors, $45 for children 5 to 11, and free for kids under 4. Passengers will board buses in Owen Sound for the trip to Tobermory, with free parking available at the harbour and nearby lots. Pets are not allowed, though service animals are welcome.

Organizers say the cruise sells out quickly. Tickets can only be booked by phone at 1-800-265-3163.
