Our Story

About Us

A New Chapter on the Fraser River

When we first saw the paddlewheeler docked at New Westminster Quay, we knew she was more than a vessel. In February 2026, Greenwich Marine Services proudly took the helm, bringing fresh energy to a tradition that has connected this community to its waterfront for generations.

Today, the MV Native sails under renewed stewardship — with the same reverence for the Fraser River's heritage and a bold vision for what a river cruise can be. Whether it's a quiet weekday voyage with narrated history or a sold-out New Year's Eve gala, every departure carries forward a story that began long before us.
