Traveling the St. Lawrence River

The Grand Quay is located in Montréal’s historic Old Town and welcomes cruise ships on the St. Lawrence River. A popular itinerary links Montréal and New York; along the coast are other Canadian and US cities, fishing villages and stretches of nature. Cruises on the Great Lakes are also growing in popularity, connecting Toronto, Detroit and Chicago, among other cities, with smaller waterfront communities. The cities visited on your trip depend on the route you book.

Grand Quay and Old Town

The port is in the historic Vieux-Montréal district, so your visit begins right in one of the city’s most distinctive areas. If you have a shorter stay, you can focus on the Old Town and waterfront promenade; with more time, you can add other neighbourhoods to your day in the city.

Shore access and getting there

Paid parking is available at Grand Quay, along with spaces for buses and coaches. Cruise passengers arriving by car can include the port parking facilities in their plans; check costs and availability before the day of travel. If you are arriving or departing by ship, coordinate your accommodation and onward travel with your actual ship schedule.
