Stroll through the UNESCO World Heritage listed Old Quebec, where cobblestone streets, historic buildings, and quaint squares offer a glimpse into the citys colonial past.

Take a scenic cruise along Saguenay Fjord to experience its full grandeur.

Arriving in Sept-Iles, Canada at 12:00 pm with only 7 hours hours before your 7:00 pm departure is a tight window.
