Overview

Quebec City is the oldest walled city in North America, known for its fortified historic district and landmarks like Château Frontenac. This 90-minute guided boat cruise departs from Chouinard Pier in Old Quebec, near the Petit Champlain district. The cruise travels east along the St. Lawrence River, passing Old Quebec, then continues near Île d'Orléans and Montmorency Falls before returning via the Saint-Charles River. Passengers can relax on outdoor decks while taking photos of landmarks including Château Frontenac, Montmorency Falls, and Île d'Orléans. The bilingual guide provides commentary throughout the cruise, explaining the history and features of the sights. An audioguide is also available in eight languages. Starting in September, the 7 PM cruise will switch to a music-only format without live commentary but will follow the same route, offering a calm, lounge-style experience. Local taxes and fees are included. Food, drinks, gratuities, and parking are not included.
