Good to Know

The cruise lasts approximately 1.5 hours and departs from Montreal's Old Port. Arrive at least 15 minutes before departure for boarding and bring photo ID for ticket redemption. The experience is not wheelchair accessible, and the observation tower can be reached by stairs or lift.

Food and drinks are available for purchase on board the cruise. Tower opening times may vary due to weather conditions, so check with staff for any schedule adjustments. You can present your ticket on your mobile device rather than printing a physical copy.

If you're planning to explore more of Montreal's historic areas, consider adding an Old Port walking tour to discover the neighbourhood's cobblestone streets and heritage buildings. For those interested in Montreal's cultural attractions, the Notre-Dame Basilica admission offers access to one of the city's most significant architectural landmarks.
