Thank you for your interest in the 2003 Canal Cruise.

Unfortunately, due to a variety of factors, the New York State Canal Corporation has reluctantly decided to postpone this year's event.

Some Canalside communities have informed us that due to fiscal constraints, their ability to properly host Canal Cruise related events this year would be affected.

Additionally, private boater groups and associations have expressed interest in offering similar events on the Canal System, and we want to give these private efforts an opportunity to grow and thrive along the Canal System.

Anyone who has already registered for the Canal Cruise will be refunded their money, but we invite you to keep the season pass and Cruising Guide, free of charge.

We hope you will consider cruising on our Canal System this year on your own or with friends. If you would like an itinerary designed for you that would be similar to that of the Canal Cruise, please feel free to contact John Callaghan, our Boater Resource Specialist, at (518) 471-5016. He will be happy to answer any of your questions and to help you select Canal ports that will enhance your cruising experience on our historic waterway.

Again, thank you for your interest in the New York State Canal System.
