The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Step inside one of North America's most breathtaking Gothic Revival interiors — gilded in cobalt, gold, and crimson — then witness AURA, an immersive nocturnal sound-and-light spectacular that transforms the basilica into pure magic.
Descend beneath the streets of Old Montréal to the actual birthplace of the city — a UNESCO-recognized archaeological site where the layered foundations of four centuries of civilization lie perfectly preserved underfoot.
Explore cobblestone streets, 17th-century stone architecture, and hidden courtyards in the company of a passionate local expert who reveals the layers of French, British, and Indigenous history woven into every façade.
Glide silently through Frederick Law Olmsted's masterwork park on a private e-bike, ascending to the famous belvedere lookout for a sweeping 360° panorama over the entire island of Montréal and the St. Lawrence River.
Glide silently across the Old Port waterfront aboard a sleek electric boat, watching the iconic skyline of Vieux-Montréal unfold from the water — the perspective every photographer and romantic dreams of.
Journey into the Laurentian wilderness for a safari-style drive through Parc Oméga — wolves, bears, elk, and woodland caribou roaming free — then restore at the legendary Fairmont Le Château Montebello, the world's largest log château.
