    Traversier Québec-Lévis - View of Quebec City from the ferry to Lévis

    Traversier Québec-Lévis

    This was recommended by most Quebec blogs and itineraries, so we thought we we would try it . It is…read moreinexpensive just over $4.00 per person and the boarding process is quick and inefficient. Cars are allowed on the ferry. There is plenty of seating inside and out, and there are two levels . The day we went it was a bit overcast, but the views of Old Quebec City , Governor's Promenade and Chateau Frontenac were wonderful. Most of the travelers on the ferry were tourists and riding the ferry for fun. It was well worth it to sit and enjoy the views.

    Having read in more than one place that the Quebec-Lévis ferry is something one should do I did it…read more I won't say it was bad but neither will I say it's a must. A few days earlier a guide at a place in Old Quebec had mentioned hailing from Lévis and literally described it as a place with nothing to do and no reason to go. My readings had indicated that the sole reason to go was to see the view of Quebec City from the ferry so when the ferry landed in Lévis seeing Lévis wasn't amongst my desires. The ferry is inexpensive and tickets are purchased on site before boarding. Crossing the St. Lawrence to Lévis takes less than 20 minutes and the ride is pleasant and stable. With lots of outdoor (and indoor) seating, feeling the breeze is as good a reason as any for a ride. At Lévis one must disembark the ferry regardless of whether a return trip is planned. Taking only a brief look at the town - from the ferry terminal - provided ample information that there was no real reason for me to hang out there. If I'd missed this ferry ride - and the view of the city from the river - I'd not have been disappointed but having done it, I have no regrets.

    There's not much to say about the functionality of the facility itself which readily met its…read morepurpose for us.  But what can and should be said is that it is the most scenic and striking port we've experienced to date on 9 cruises.   On arrival, you are treated to an awesome view as you approach the old city, the steep hill that the newer city is built upon, and the world famous Fairmont le Chateau Frontenac hotel.  When docked, on the starboard side where we were fortunate enough to be at, you are treated to a stunning and beautiful view of the hotel all day and all night and you can almost reach out and touch it.   The disembarkation process here was also smooth and efficient for what that's worth.  We ended up going off to a post-cruise shore excursion around Quebec City that also took us to the airport (YQB) for a late afternoon flight.  The port terminal building is fairly large but well organized and there were quite a few buses parked and ready for various tours as well as direct airport transfers.  I'll go with 5 stars mainly because of the unforgettable beauty of the port's location.

    Took a cruise out of Quebec City. Logistics into port from land and terrible. Two hours for what…read moreis normally a 15 minute ride from the hotel. Won,t even talk about what the cab ride costs. The entire logistics team needs to go back to square one and understand the basics of mass travel. I reccomend the study how successful ports do it such as Miami, Barcellona, Fort Lauderdale. Fort lLauderdale handles 7 ships at a time with minimum delay. Very disappointing

    Port de Québec - A nice aerial view of the Norwegian Joy docked in Quebec City.  "Quebec" means "where the river narrows" in French, and it is so.
