Summit in Quebec City, Oct 11, 2014

[Maligator]

Are there any day trips by boat on the St Lawrence? We're not looking for a sunrise-sunset tour. Maybe a few hours to see some nice scenery. If not, I think we'll just stick to walking around the city, working off some of those buffet calories.

 

Also, is there a way to tell which berth we'll be in? I think I saw the previous sailing will be at 30. If that's the case, is there a place to shoot from across the St Charles that will provide a nice city backdrop with the Summit in the shot? I'm planning on running over to Levis if we're in another berth.

 

Thanks!

Hi,

 

First link is a great source of detailed info about the port and a self guided walking tour : http://www.tomsportguides.com/QuebecCity-06-30-2014.pdf

 

Second is a link for day time trip on the St-Laurent : http://www.quebecregion.com/en/guided-cruise-tour/croisieres-aml/

 

At the moment teir website seems to be down...but there a reviews you can look at in the meanwhile on tripadvisor : http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g155033-d1540383-Reviews-Croisieres_AML-Quebec_City_Quebec.html

We were there a week ago today. Don't know exactly what berth we were in but we were at what was called the cruise terminal. The ferry to Levis was very close and was something like $3,

 

At the next berth there was a sightseeing boat but we did not check it out.

What or where is the Summit? Do you by any chance mean the Citadel?

From what I see from the Port de Quebec web page you will be docked at dock 103. See: http://www.portquebec.ca/en/cruises/vessel-schedules/seasonal-schedule

 

Celebrity organized a shuttle service last year to old town. See the Preisman's photo journal: http://thepreismans.com/canada_newe_p3.htm

 

If you like smaller ships, off the beaten path type of day/night cruise, the quebecregion web site also mentions the "Excursions Martimes Quebec" company:

The Summit is the name of the ship.

 

On October 11th, the Summit will be docked at dock 103. See map and directions p. 5 in the Toms Port Guide

Nuts. I was hoping for 21, 22 or 93. Oh well. We'll just have to walk a little farther in Levis. As for the river tour, I'm not sure I can get my wife on a Zodiac. We might just make do with what we see from the ship or take the Louis-Jolliet tour.

 

Thank you, Jolie_Cruiser.
