The first cruise ship, Saga Sapphire, has called at Port of Québec's Quai Paquet, a short ferry ride across St. Lawrence River at the Ville de Lévis.

With a record number of cruise ships calling at Québec City this season, the Quai Paquet offers an additional berthing option.

Located within port territory and run by Québec Port Authority, Quai Paquet offers spectacular views of the iconic Chateau Frontenac. It is a short ferry ride across the river from historic Old Québec and the main cruise terminal.

Québec expects a substantial increase in passengers this year, with a nearly 30% increase over the 2016 season. This upsurge could bring the port to a record-breaking 200,000 visitors.
