Overview:
Montreal, an UNESCO City of Design, is a great place to begin or end a cruise vacation. A popular turnaround port, cruise visitors will have plenty of time to explore “the cultural capital of Canada” before or after a New England/Canada voyage. Located in the Canadian province of Quebec, Montreal is a walkable city with ample public transportation.
Top attractions, not to be missed:
- Notre Dame Basilica
- Chinatown
- Crescent Street
- Dorchester Square
- Montreal Science Center
- Mount Royal Park
- St. Catherine Street
- St. Josephs Oratory
- Go shopping underground at RÉSO (in French it’s called La Ville Souterraine). Located in and around Downtown Montreal, cruise visitors should look for the entrance off Place Bonaventure, which is about 2 miles from your ship.

Shore excursion ideas
- In transit, guests will have time for the Montreal City Hop-on Hop-off Tour. Get on the bus at the pier and check out the sites at your leisure.
