Want to take a cruise, but perhaps have a few conditions that need to be met first? For example – the cruise can’t be too long. Or, the ship shouldn’t be too crowded. Maybe, you don’t want to go to the Caribbean again (as fabulous as that is.) Or simply, you just want something entirely different.

Here’s a taste of what you’ll enjoy on this crisp and atypical cruise. Behold new lands!
Day One
First, you’ll embark your ship in Montreal, nestled on an island on the St. Lawrence River. You will have the afternoon free to settle in to your ship or set off to explore the city on your own, perhaps going underground to experience its subterranean city, popular with residents during cold winter months.
Day two
On your second day, you’ll continue to explore Montreal. Step into the city’s rich history of fur trading in its Old Port section, lined with picturesque stone buildings along the St. Lawrence River. Ascend to the heights of Mount Royal Park for sweeping city and river views. And marvel at the glorious architecture and interiors of the Notre-Dame Basilica. Alternately, you might venture farther to witness the natural beauty of the Laurentian Mountains or sample the region’s maple sugar delicacies.
