This AAA Gem Attraction is a veritable journey through history, so much so that it was even featured on the History Channel. Starting in Lockport, passengers will sail through many worthy sights including the historical "Flight of Five", though the main attraction is when the vessel is actually raised 50 feet through Erie's only double set of locks. The ship passes beneath bridges and along the canal's cut-rock walls—accompanied by a narrated description of historical sites and Erie Canal folklore. Afterwards, you can enjoy a tour of the Canalside Emporium, with its Canal Interpretive Center and gift shop.

The 28th of September 2026 was a special day for my bride of 57 years and myself, as we were onboard Lockport Locks & Erie Canal Cruises vessel Lockview V promptly at 1500 for a truly delightful, instructive and friendly cruise of some of the Erie Canal.The time was special as Capt. Murphy and his two man crew were exceptional hosts!We learned a lot and hope to do it again...some day! Thank you all.
MoreMy wife and I spent a week in Lockport. We booked a cruise for Tuesday, October 6. This was their final week for the season. History of the Erie canal system is fascinating. Our tour captain was knowledgeable and entertaining. We has a beautiful sunny day for the 2-hour cruise up and down the locks on the Erie canal here. Thoroughly enjoyed out trip and would certainly do 8it again if in the area. The cost for the two of us was very inexpensive at just over $50. Highly recommend.
MoreWe thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Lock 34 and 35. Everyone was so friendly, very knowledgeable and accommodating. Our captain was Luca, and he was exceptionally informative and we could understand his narrative easily. This was so worth the cost, which is very affordable. Strongly recommend this tour!!
MoreMy husband and I took our kids along with a family of friends of ours and it was amazing. I grew up in the area and had never been on it, but will definitely be back next year!
