Here are the St. Lawrence cruises I’d board from Montreal’s Old Port, from short sightseeing loops to dinner sailings. The season runs roughly May through October, once the river ice is long gone. In midsummer, some evening departures coincide with the fireworks competition over the river.
Jetting along the serene St. Lawrence River, the Bateau-Mouche offers a unique vantage point to soak in Montreal's architectural gems, leaving visitors eager to explore more.
