Float past the glittering skyline of Old Québec from the water on a narrated sightseeing cruise with Croisières AML, the St. Lawrence's most celebrated river cruise operator — the perspective every photographer craves.
What to expect
Board at the Québec City terminal and glide out onto the mighty St. Lawrence as a bilingual guide narrates four centuries of maritime history. The fortified skyline, the soaring copper rooftops of the Château Frontenac, and the falls of Montmorency visible in the distance create a succession of iconic views. Sunset and evening departures are especially spectacular when the ramparts glow gold. The vessels are impeccably maintained with a licensed bar and covered seating for any weather.
Good to know
Departures are a short walk or taxi from the Québec City cruise terminal. Evening sailings sell out quickly in summer and fall — book direct on AML's site at least a week ahead. Duration is approximately 1.5–2 hours, easily combined with a walking tour of the old city.
