Tips & Advice

  • Book in advance, especially for weekend dates, as these popular holiday cruises tend to sell out quickly.
  • Consider the 'Red Ribbon' options for a VIP experience, including priority boarding and a bottle of wine.
  • Dress in festive attire to match the holiday spirit, though smart casual is generally acceptable.
  • Check the specific departure location (Montreal or Quebec City) when booking, as cruises operate from both cities.
  • Arrive at the boarding location at least 30 minutes prior to departure to ensure a smooth check-in process.
