Montreal is a fantasitc city. Cruise ship passengers to Montreal are welcome to the Iberville Passenger Terminal. This inland port on the mighty St. Lawrence River is firmly situated in North America, but has a European flavor. It’s one of the few cities in the world where visitors can easily communicate in French and English.

The Iberville Passenger Terminal is part of the Ancient Port area (the newer Port of Montreal handles container ships and general cargo). The Ancient Port welcomes ships from cruise lines such as Holland America Line, Crystal Cruises and Silversea Cruises. The Ancient Port is especially active in early fall, when ships depart to for fall foliage cruises along the Atlantic coastline.

If you have time to spend in Montreal before or after a cruise, the city is brimming with things to see and do. During the summer, you can take a thrilling jet boat ride on the St. Lawrence. If a slower pace is your style, board a Parisian-style riverboat for a leisurely tour of the Montreal riverfront.

Bordering the Ancient Port is the Bonsecours Market, a restored building that features prominently in Montreal’s history. The building is currently a cultural center, with 15 boutiques that feature gorgeous crafts, fashions, accessories, jewelry and furniture made in Quebec.

If you’re traveling with children, they’ll like the Montreal Science Center and its interactive exhibits. For example, the idTV exhibit lets young people step into the role of a science reporter by researching, filming and editing a news report.

Montreal has many more ways to enjoyably pass the time, from shopping to theaters to professional sports. An extensive network of underground pedestrian passageways and an efficient Metro system make it simple to get around the city.
