Office
Are you a social media personality with a large following? We'd love to work with you. Get in touch and we can talk about how we can jointly spread the word about the Edmonton Riverboat to more Edmontonians!
We love getting the word out about the best Edmonton has to offer. If you think you have the skills to help us manage our social media accounts, online ads, this website, and a variety of print and in-person strategies, we want to hear from you.
Our cruises won't happen without our stellar customer service staff who help our guests with their tickets!
Each year we handle thousands of emails, phone calls, and in person visits. If you are great with a computer, love talking to people, problem solving crazy situations, and generally like to do the right thing, we want to hear from you!

As a banquet lead on the Edmonton Riverboat you would be responsible for overseeing the delivery and execution of meal services. This entails ensuring our famous buffet is ready and waiting for customers, and even executing private exclusive events. If you have a passion for food service and experience with banquets, we want to hear from you!

We are looking for a strong leader who loves the technical and operational side of running a kitchen. Get in touch and let's talk about the opportunity!
Our kitchen staff are the heart of the Edmonton Queen, and without them we wouldn't have the energy to operate! We offer a variety of food services onboard, from full buffets for hundreds of people to simple burgers and hot dogs on a slow day! If you are looking from anything from a dishwashing position to being an executive chef, we are looking forward to hearing from you.
