Enjoy stunning views of the city from the water aboard the Louis Jolliet. As you take in Quebec City landmarks from the open-air terrace or enclosed, climate-controlled deck, listen to entertaining and informative narration about this vibrant metropolis past and present.

Step aboard the Louis Jolliet at the Old Port in the historic city center and begin your cruise down the Saint Lawrence River. Admire the iconic Château Frontenac Hotel, which dominates the skyline on a hill above the river. Pass by the city's original stone walls, built by French and British armies, and wave at the pedestrians strolling along Dufferin Terrace.

Gaze up at the cross atop the spire of the Cathedral-Basilica of Notre-Dame de Québec and see if you can spy the changing of the guard at La Citadelle—the soldiers at the entrance of this imposing fortification wear traditional bearskin hats in colder weather. As the cruise continues, pass by the still-standing gates along the ramparts that mark the entrances to the charming, UNESCO-designated Old Town.
