Gananoque is a St Lawrence River cruise port and town in Ontario Canada (Leeds and Grenville) with population around 6,000. During summer, the town's population grow significantly due to the arriving tourists visiting the Mille-Iles archipelago (Thousand Islands National Park that groups 1864 isles).

As cruise port, Gananoque was first included in the schedule of American Queen Voyages-AQV's ship Ocean Navigator.
