🧭 How to play this day
CROWD-TACTICALCruise crowds concentrate in Upper Town and Petit-Champlain by midday — start early on the classic walk (Terrasse Dufferin → funicular → Petit-Champlain), then drift to rue Saint-Jean or the Plains of Abraham when the ship groups peak.
Montmorency Falls is the natural midday escape valve: easy by city bus from near the terminal and far less cruise-trafficked than the old town core.
Why is this a little crowded?
2 ships are scheduled today, representing approximately 814 passengers of combined capacity.
