A welcoming island

With its French and English roots, Montréal is a diverse metropolis where a rich history informs a modern way of life. As one of the world’s largest French-speaking cities (after Paris, of course!), Montréal is a great place to practice French, though most locals will be happy to interact with you in English.
Montréal is the starting point for many cruises destined for other ports in Canada and New England.
Savour every moment
The Port of Montréal is the largest port on the St. Lawrence River in terms of operations and the second largest in terms of cruise passengers.
