Maid of the Mist Press Release & Photos
Now that the ice has cleared the Lower Niagara River, Maid of the Mist is ready to launch its 2025 season on Thursday, May 1, at 10 a.m., continuing a tradition that dates to 1846.
“Opening day is one of celebration for the Niagara Falls travel and tourism industry,” said Maid of the Mist President Christopher M. Glynn. “Our crew is ready to once again welcome the world and provide our guests with an iconic experience.”
Maid of the Mist features two all-electric, zero-emission vessels: James V. Glynn and Nikola Tesla. When they were placed into service in 2020, they were the first vessels of their kind in North America.
