This 1.5-hour guided boat cruise along the St. Lawrence River offers views of Montreal’s notable landmarks such as the Biosphere, Jacques Cartier Bridge, Olympic Stadium, and the islands of Boucherville. The cruise departs from the Old Port of Montreal, a historic district with nearly 400 years of history. Passengers navigate eastward past Île Sainte-Hélène and La Ronde before returning to the departure point. The tour includes live commentary by a bilingual expert guide in English and French, with an audioguide available in eight additional languages. Guests can enjoy the cityscape from outdoor decks or the glassed-in dining room aboard the AML Cavalier Maxim. A snack bar onboard sells food and drinks, including local options, available for purchase. Boarding begins 30 minutes before departure, and the cruise runs rain or shine unless weather conditions become unsafe. The temperature on the water can be cooler than on land, so dressing accordingly is advised. Credit card payments are accepted for onboard purchases. A Happy Hour cruise offers one complimentary drink for guests aged 13 and older.
