Toronto houses one of the longest urban lakefronts in the world! The Harbourfront area is now a bustling hub within the downtown core. There is so much to do and see we’ve compiled a list of the top eight reasons to visit the Toronto Harbourfront this summer.
Toronto boasts one of the most iconic skylines in the world and the best way to experience it is from the water aboard one of our cruise ships! Whether you cruise during the day or night, the Toronto skyline never looks the same way on any given day and won’t fail to impress! Mariposa Cruises offers a variety of public cruise programs, including brunch, lunch and dinner cruises as well as a Sip and Sail and special event cruises. Our Scenic Toronto Harbour Tours offer guided narrations in six different languages–English, French, Spanish, German, Mandarin and Japanese– and showcase many sites including the island park lands and waterways, Queens Quay Terminal, Toronto Island Airport, Harbourfront Centre, CN Tower, Rogers Centre, HTO Park, Rogers Centre, Air Canada Centre and the fabled Gibraltar Point Lighthouse to name a few.

Throughout Toronto’s history, the view from the water has been a favourite vantage point for photographers to capture images of one the world’s most iconic and ever-changing skylines. During our 31 years of operation, Mariposa Cruises has hosted over three million guests who come to experience the city from the harbour, not to mention countless photo shoots! This season we’re giving a photo session away aboard the yacht Rosemary. So if you recently popped the question and got a “Yes!”, you’re both in luck because you have a chance to win an engagement photo shoot featuring one of the most stunning backdrops in Toronto.

Executive Chef Andrew Capone in the kitchen.
Mariposa Cruises is delighted to welcome Andrew Capone as our new Executive Chef. Having previously been part of our culinary team on the Mariposa Belle, Andrew has accumulated an impressive culinary background. We are excited to see how his talent and passion will elevate our food offerings this season. As Executive Chef, Andrew will manage our hospitality cruise operation, leading two (floating) kitchens on The Northern Spirit and The Captain Matthew Flinders to cater for a fleet of six vessels. During the peak summer period, he could prepare up to 3000 meals a day, a logistical and strategic challenge for any Chef.
Many have enjoyed the Northern Spirit since it joined our fleet in 1993, as it is a popular choice for corporate groups and weddings. It is best known for its wide-open space, bright large picture windows, and having the largest moving rooftop patio in Toronto!
While we’re grateful for all the wonderful events held on board over the years, it was time to give some love back by upgrading the vessel this winter season! As a team we brainstormed, set our sights high, and began the renovation of a lifetime! While the work is quickly progressing, we thought we would share the exciting news of what is to come!
Welcome to the world of Mariposa Cruises, a truly unique establishment in the hospitality industry! Over the last 30 years our fleet of vessels has hosted over 3 million passengers—from tourists, young students, celebrities and the Stanley cup, to thousands of events ranging from weddings, birthdays, business functions and celebrations!

Corporate mixing and mingling aboard the Captain Matthew Flinders
Corporate entertaining blurs the lines between 9-5 client relationships, and provides companies with a competitive advantage among competitors. When thinking about your providers – whether they be your accountant, friendly neighborhood delivery service or financial advisor, who stands out the most? Is it the one who sends you a card at Christmas, calls on your birthday and asks about your weekend? Many will answer yes to all of the above! Relationship building not only strengthens ties with family and friends, it allows you to create a trusting bond with your service providers as well! While small touches go a long way, they’re easily replicated, and quickly become the status quo. Are you looking to maintain your client relationships, or make new ones? Why not try a unique idea to really blow them out of the water? Why not bring them on board a Mariposa Cruise! (more…)
A big city like Toronto has no shortage of choices for wedding venues. Couples on the hunt for a city wedding with a beautiful outdoor setting find that wide-open spaces start to become scarce in the downtown core and come at a premium. Consider a Toronto Wedding Cruise. Mariposa Cruises has hosted thousands of nautical nuptials and if the idea of having your day on the water appeals to you, we’ve got five great reasons why you should:
Netgear Router Login: Routers are very common today in households and office spaces, but sometimes it can get cumbersome to set up your new router and log in safely. It could also be that there are some login issues with your existing router which you look forward to curbing.
Sometimes, people do not follow the instructions diligently which may lead to errors. Hence, we request that you spend some quality time in the setup and mediacom router login as any glitch in the process can attract safety and security issues.
• Look for the sticker on the router which contains all the default login information. Almost all Netgear routers come with a label which includes default access address along with username and password.
• Then, open any internet browser (Firefox, Chrome, Explorer, etc.) on your computer and move
• If the above URL fails to pop up any field for login details, try and navigate to http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1.
• If the problem is still unsolved, connect the router with the computer using an Ethernet cable which will establish a direct connection.
• For the username enter “admin” and for password enter “password” as the answers which are the default details for Netgear routers unless otherwise specified.
• Click OK and proceed, and your login is complete.
• After your login is successful, go for the “Smart Setup” option. The setup wizard shall ask for a confirmation, to which you need to select “yes” and then the “next” button. To save all these configurations for your Netgear router, click on save.
• To check the connectivity of your router, click on “maintenance” option and then “Router status”.
BUT, WHAT IF DEFAULT USERNAME AND PASSWORD DO NOT WORK? DON’T WORRY, JUST FOLLOW THE STEPS.
• Reset the router. This will bring back the router to original factory settings and also set it to the default username and password. First, switch on the router and find the rest factory settings button at the backside. Press that button for at least 7-10 seconds till the power light starts blinking. Release the button which will restart the router, and the power light will go from blinking state to full green or white state. Now, repeat the initial steps explained previously and login smoothly.
• Try using a different Ethernet port or cable on the if login still fails to work. A lot of the times, faulty Ethernet cables prevent changes in settings.
• If the problem still persists and you are not able to access the admin page, try and change the IP address of your computer. Sometimes acquiring a new IP address can help in establishing a proper connection between your computer and the router. There are various online guides available on how to change your IP address for Windows as well as Mac OS.
• If all of the above fail to work, disable the pop-up blockers and firewall issues. There are times when these can cause a nuisance while logging in to your router. The Netgear system uses JavaScript language in their web platforms, pop up blockers and firewalls can prevent on from accessing the login page. Again, there are many helpful guides available which explain in detail how to individually disable firewalls on a computer and disable pop up blockers on the computer for Netgear router login.
If you have properly followed the steps so far, we hope that your problem has been resolved. We have tried to cover as many extreme case scenarios to answer any doubts you may have in mind.
Your Wi-Fi router can be controlled more than you think. There are tons of things you can do with your router settings which can give greater control and optimization, especially for your use-case. The default configuration of a router is such that it supports all types of connections – office, home, etc. Configuring it according to your needs can give greater security and sometimes, a faster Internet experience.
For configuring a router, you must first login through the Admin page. Every networking router acts like a central hub between all your devices and the internet. It creates a small network in itself, called a subnet. Each device in a subnet is assigned a unique ID, called the Internet Protocol (IP) address. You can connect to the router on its default IP address: 192.168.1.1. You can also connect to other devices by finding out their IP addresses.
Enter the ID and Password for the router. If you don’t know the credentials, try:
ID: admin
Password: password
IF IT STILL FAILS, HEAD DOWN TO THE FAQS.
Once you’ve entered your credentials, hit Login.
You’ve successfully entered the admin page. From here you can configure your router settings. The exact steps for navigating to particular settings depend on the maker of your router. However, following are some important settings (along with where to find them) you should configure to optimize your experience:
SSID and Password.
You can change the ‘name’ of your router and its password. This can be found under the Network header. After changing them, you will have to reconnect to the router.
Maximum Devices Connected
Sometimes you might want to allow only a limited number of connections more bandwidth per device, or maybe you want to increase the number of connections allowed. For either case, you can head over to the Wi-Fi header and change the setting.
Maximum Speed
You can also limit the speed of your internet connection to prevent using up all the bandwidth at once. This can also be found under the Wi-Fi header.
You can experiment with other settings according to your needs. It is suggested that after the first admin login, you change the default password. This is to prevent anybody else from logging in to your router.
1. The admin page is not opening/the browser keeps on loading the page.
If that is the case, please check your connection. If you’re connecting through Wi-Fi, disconnect and use an Ethernet cable. If it still doesn’t work, try changing the port the Ethernet is connected to on your laptop or router.
2. The ID and Password do not work/I have forgotten the ID and password.
If the given ID and password do not work, read your router’s manual for its default credentials. If they still don’t work or you’ve forgotten them then reset your router. The steps to do that can be found in the User Manual.
3. I got disconnected to my router after applying the settings.
This is perfectly normal. The router resets its settings and disconnects all devices. Connect again with the new credentials.
