Cruise Port Guide
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.
Glide into the breathtaking Saguenay River Fjord aboard a small Zodiac to encounter beluga whales, minke whales, and fin whales in one of the world's great cetacean corridors. This is the bucket-list wildlife encounter of eastern Canada.
Explore the soaring sea cliffs and emerald headlands of Forillon National Park on a private guided tour along the Gaspé Peninsula — one of Canada's most jaw-dropping coastal landscapes. Moose, seabirds, and seal colonies complete the scene.
Set foot on Anticosti Island, a newly designated UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world's richest Ordovician fossil reefs, where a population of white-tailed deer outnumbers humans 100 to 1. Utterly wild and almost entirely untouched.
Wander the cobblestone streets of Old Québec — North America's only walled city north of Mexico — with a private historian-guide who unlocks hidden courtyards, fortification secrets, and the city's legendary culinary scene. A UNESCO World Heritage masterpiece.
Paddle among the extraordinary limestone monolith islets of the Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve — a surreal, other-worldly seascape teeming with puffins, razorbills, and humpback whales just offshore. Kayaking here is simply unlike anywhere else on Earth.
Discover the Magdalen Islands' wild sandstone arches, wind-sculpted dunes, and legendary smoked herring smokehouse tradition on a private guided half-day tour of the Gulf's most photogenic and gastronomically rich archipelago.
