Dinner cruises in Montréal and Québec City
AML dinner cruises are an excursion not to be missed in Montréal and Québec City this summer. As the evening unfolds, guests savour a lovingly prepared bistronomy experience on board while enjoying striking views of beautiful urban panoramas.
The Montréal cruise shows the city from a whole different perspective, showcasing modern architecture, illuminated bridges, and the vibrant energy of the St. Lawrence River.
In Québec City, the Château Frontenac, Old Québec, and the surrounding cliffs form a unique and unforgettable backdrop.
A winning mix of bistronomy cuisine, music, and shifting landscapes makes dinner cruises a perfect opportunity to celebrate, reconnect, or just relax and enjoy a totally different kind of evening, flowing gently along on the water.

Whale-watching and the Saguenay Fjord
Croisières AML’s many vessels give nature-lovers a chance to explore the world’s best whale-watching. As many as 13 marine species can be observed including minke whales, fin whales, humpback whales, porpoises, harbour seals, belugas, and with a little luck, even the world’s largest animal, the majestic blue whale!
Bilingual naturalist guides impart a wealth of fascinating information about marine wildlife before giving passengers an introduction to the Saguenay Fjord. Carved by ancient glaciers, this spectacular area boasts rock formations over a billion years old, dizzying 450 m cliffs, and arrestingly beautiful landscapes.

Razorbill-watching cruise
Razorbill observation season is back. Starting in the spring, nature lovers can once again admire these fascinating birds, close relatives of the penguin also known as lesser auks, in the company of expert guides. With a departure point less than 35 minutes from Québec City, the Vent des Îles boat offers a guided tour.
Every year, these seabirds from the eastern St. Lawrence River settle on the islets of the Isle-aux-Grues archipelago for the breeding season, resulting in a remarkable natural spectacle.
