We went here on August 28th to celebrate my partner's birthday, & unfortunately, the dining experience fell far short of our expectations.
As vegetarians, we opted for the 5-course dinner menu, but the food was neither fresh nor flavorful, & guests have no option to customize or choose their dishes. The meal started with a lazy green salad. Right after we got the same green leafs topped with an unidentifiable, unappealing sour & spicy thing. The only passable dish was a tempeh with red peppers, which was just okay. Our waitress did not even bother explaining what we were eating, she said that everything was tofu (even the tempeh)
The main course, a tofu curry, was entirely tasteless, making it obvious that the kitchen lacks experience in preparing thoughtful vegetarian cuisine. To finish, the dessert was ok, but overwhelmingly sweet.
On the bright side, our drinks were decent, the artists performing during dinner were great (flute & harpists) & the outdoor vibe with the DJ was very pleasant. Overall, it feels like the kitchen could put a lot more care & creativity into their vegetarian options. While the overall outing or ride itself was nice, the dinner is definitely not worth the price.

Great boat ride, organized entry & seating. Food & drinks are served for a price on the tour boat. Well worth the price of admission.

The walk tours are much better but the ride was nice. Drinks & food are a bit overprice.

We went on the Montreal guided tour which was really enjoyable & informative. The guide was interesting & was happy to answer questions after. A relaxed 90 minute trip with an opportunity to enjoy a drink or two. Only let down was we didn't get to the Boucherville Islands which was a selling point for us booking the trip. Still a lovely way to spend a couple of hours, but maybe should update the site to say this location is not included now.

I did the 1.5hr tour on a nice afternoon last week, quite enjoyable. Nice air conditioned waiting room with toilets is available for the pre boarding time with an accessible bar. It would be good to hear when you buy your ticket (they don't tell you this) that if you sit on the top deck, you only hear soft ambient music for the trip while the tour guide operates on the front deck. The free wine was drinkable but not great (no surprise), our waiter didn't know which wine options were available but the guiding was good with interesting details of everything we saw. A nice way to view the city from a different perspective.

Get the tickets on Black Friday, they're half price & it's worth it!
1h30 boat ride, drinks & food is served. Amazing service!

Thanks again!

Expensive for what you get. The drink they say that comes with the ticket is not cold & it is either beer or wine... The ship is big & comfortable. Restaurant service is not good, feel kinda forced to buy something as the staff comes to you all the time.
The person serving us tried to make us pay for what we did not order. I asked for a single shot on my drink, he asked If I wanted a double shot, I said I wanted the drink with a SINGLE shot.
The bill came & he said he did double, I said I asked for single, & he said HE decided to do a double. I mean, what? At the end he did give us a discount, but overall a bad experience. If you want to experience being on a big boat, go for it, but save your money, eat & drink somewhere else.

Went on the brunch cruise. It was a nice way to spend the day.
There's plenty of parking at the port. It's CAD 35 for the first 4 hours
I would imagine they'd at least include one free mimosa with the meal but it's extra. Also not much room on the tables & there were a lot of people knocking down drinks. The meal was pretty good - it's a 3 course meal & you have an option for the main course.

We bought Saturday brunch tickets at the Montreal port area around 9 am on the day of. The boarding started shortly after 10 am & the cruise departed around 11:30 am for 1.5 hours.

The ship has four (4) deck levels:
1. Deck A dining room is at the AFT, water level, with a 12 foot ceiling height & a dance floor area. It has air conditioning with windows all around.

2. Deck B has the bow area where guests can sit in the outdoor seating. There is also the back with an a la carte eatery where guests can purchase drinks, alcohol & food. The inside area has air conditioning.

3. Deck C is the level where the gangway is. The dining room is in aft. On the starboard & the port sides, there are floor-to-ceiling windows. The dining room has air conditioning.

4. Deck D is the highest level & offers outdoor unreserved seating.

We started eating our brunch around 10:30 am. There are various choices of main course available with unlimited coffee/ tea.
Our server, Amanda, was very efficient & friendly. Our meal was completed shortly before the cruise began.

The cruise slowly moved through the St Laurence river where we can see the old port, clock tower, La Rond (six flags amusement park), cargo port & the south shore. It is a relaxing way to enjoy a sunny summer day in Montreal.

Great boat tour with food & drink options onboard. The guided tour was great too.
