Step aboard the legendary Marjolaine for a 2h15 intimate fjord cruise with Fjord Marine Shuttles — gliding beneath sheer 300-metre cliffs, past waterfalls and into hidden coves inaccessible by land. The most romantic way to experience one of Canada's geological wonders.
What to expect
The Marjolaine departs from Chicoutimi-La Baie and sails deep into the fjord's most dramatic corridor, where granite walls plunge vertically into 270-metre-deep black water. The onboard commentator points out geological formations, the iconic 9-metre-tall Notre-Dame-du-Saguenay statue perched on Cap Trinité, and seasonal wildlife including harbour seals and ospreys. The open forward deck is the place to be for photography; the heated salon provides refuge on cooler days.
Good to know
Departures are seasonal (June onward); check the schedule and pre-book at navettesdufjord.com as the Marjolaine operates on fixed sailings. The pier is very close to the La Baie cruise dock — a short walk or 5-minute taxi. Allow 2h30 total including boarding.
