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 North America's only walled city with a private, expert guide who brings 400 years of French-Canadian history vividly to life. Cobblestone lanes, ramparts, and storied squares — at your own unhurried pace.
Standing 30 metres taller than Niagara, Montmorency Falls is Québec's most dramatic natural spectacle. Cross the suspension bridge above the thundering cascade, then ascend via ferrata or soar over the gorge on the zipline.
The only fortified city still garrisoned in North America, La Citadelle crowns the Cape Diamant promontory with star-shaped bastions and sweeping river views. The VIP tour grants privileged access and an expert military historian guide.
Just minutes from the city, Île d'Orléans is Québec's 'Garden of Eden' — a pastoral island of heritage farmsteads, artisan cider makers, and award-winning producers. A private guided food and wine circuit is a masterclass in terroir.
Where French and British empires collided in 1759 and North America's fate was decided in 15 minutes — the Plains of Abraham is one of history's most consequential landscapes, reimagined as a world-class museum and urban national park.
Perched above the St. Lawrence, Strøm Nordic Spa is Canada's premier thermotherapy destination — a choreographed cycle of hot pools, steam caves, cold plunges, and silent relaxation pavilions with one of the most breathtaking river panoramas in North America.
