Quebec City St. Lawrence River Guided Sightseeing Cruise

Depart from Quai Chouinard
and cruise the St. Lawrence River

The cruise departs from Quai Chouinard, just a 5-minute walk from the historic Petit Champlain district, whose history dates back to the 17th century. The boat sails east past Old Quebec toward Île d'Orléans and Montmorency Falls. At the Île d'Orléans bridge, it turns back toward the city, passes the Saint-Charles River and returns to dock in Old Quebec. The cruise lasts about 1.5 hours.

See the Château Frontenac and Montmorency Falls from the river

Move between the outdoor decks and enjoy views of Quebec City you can only get from the water. Pass iconic landmarks such as the Château Frontenac, Montmorency Falls, Île d'Orléans and the Côte-de-Beaupré, with plenty of photo opportunities along the way.

Learn Quebec's history from a bilingual guide

An expert guide in costume as Louis Jolliet shares the history, landmarks and culture of Quebec in English and French. An audio guide is also available in 8 languages: French, English, Italian, Spanish, German, Chinese, Japanese and Korean.

Relax at the onboard bar and bistro

Unwind on the outdoor terrace and soak up the sunshine and views. The onboard bar serves a cocktail of the day and a variety of drinks including non-alcoholic options, and the bistro offers light snacks and meals with local flavors, available for purchase.
