🧭 How to play this day

CROWD-TACTICAL

Cruise 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?

1 ship is scheduled today, representing approximately 808 passengers of combined capacity.

Compared with other cruise days: About average for this port.
