Montréal, Québec

Port Montréal is unlike any other cruise gateway, because it is not just a port of call but a doorway to a city that wears its chic, multilingual soul on its sleeve; as you step ashore you’re within easy reach of Old Montréal’s cobblestone lanes, Basilique Notre-Dame, and the shimmering views along the Vieux-Port, with Mont Royal’s green majesty looming just a short ride away. Signature experiences whisk you into a culinary and cultural loop—from a bagel-and-smoked-meat tasting stroll through the Mile End to jazz-scented nights in the Quartier des Spectacles, and seasonal festivals that flood the streets with color year-round; excursions extend to the Biosphère on Île Sainte-Hélène, the Biodôme and Jardin Botanique for nature-centric days, and scenic canal cruises along the Lachine Canal. The port’s fleet-friendly footprint features modern, multi-berth terminals designed for smooth embarkation and disembarkation, efficient customs processing, and shore-power-ready facilities that minimize emissions; onboard services on ships calling at Montréal are equally tuned to the city’s personality, with bilingual crews, Montreal-inspired menus, specialty cafés, spa and wellness rituals, and entertainment that mirrors the city’s energy—ensuring your pre- or post-cruise time in Montréal is as memorable as the voyage itself.
