This was a stunning light show that brought a unique experience to our group. The relationship between the music, lights and interior space was seamless and the length of show was perfect.

Was there on time but the gate was closed wouldn't let's us board and no refunds. Calling the company but no help on weekends just sat and watch the boat sail away with out us do not recommend this company

Lovely dining experience with added bonus of viewing the sights of Montreal at night. Well trained, friendly staff. The music and dancing in the dining area was more for a vibrant younger crowd but the upper deck was available for conversation and soft music. Recommend to all.

The guide was incredible. Such a great story-teller. We had a great time, getting to know a little more about Montreal’s history and urban legends.

It was a fantastic light show. Really highlighted the interior beauty and statues. So much more beautiful at night than during the day. It was only about 30 minutes long so that was my only negative. I expected a longer show.

Things started off not so happy on this happy hour tour. We notified the waiter that we had a ticket each for a free drink to which he told us that there were no free drinks. When I showed him the ticket, he said that he would inquire with the captain. Long story short, we eventually got our free drink. This cruise is worth it if you can get a seat on the upper deck, otherwise she ain't no big deal. To the Olympic tower and back where most of the scenery is ship loading docks. Good to do once but for 45 clams (plus 1 free boisson) it is merely average indeed.

Some of my family enjoyed the cruise but I did not. The walking tour orients u to the area and its history. So I thought it redundant( goes past a lot of industrial areas). But the staff was lovely. AURA- if u love light shows( as I do) u will love it. However the basilica itself is amazingly beautiful with no light show!

We decided to celebrate my wife's birthday with friends and family on AML's Happy Hour cruise on Saturday, September 21, at 4:00 pm. Straight and simple, the boarding experience was horrible. 1. We directed our extended family members and guests to pre-order tickets online, which they did, same as we did. 2. Why is the requirement to go to the cashier window to collect boarding tickets, and adding to the chagrin, requiring presenting the credit card used for the online purchase of tickets? For G-d's sake, we are in 2024! Already two full decades into the age of online purchases and QR code scanning. What is the use of an online purchase if you require all this hurdle of presenting in person in the cashier window for proof of purchase and for collecting the tickets? 3. The location of the boarding to the ship: You could have placed clear signs showing the way to the temporary boarding dock. Patrons do not need to enter the waiting room and only 15 minutes before boarding be shown the exit through a narrow door and rush all the way 500 meters away up and down a hundred stairs(!!!) to get to the boat. AML could do the very least of telling people to go there right away after picking up their tickets at the cashier windows and not make them rush there in the last minute all that long way up to the very end of the far dock. 4. What about the disabled, pregnant women and parents with babies and tots? Among our guests, there were one lady in her 9th month of pregnancy, several parents and grandparents carrying babies and small toddlers, and at least one disabled person who could hardly make the long distance climbing, then going down, the 100 or so stairs, even when assisted by other guests, who all arrived breathless, sweating and aching(!) to the dock. The whole of AML's organization represents sheer cruelty for the sake of cruelty, an absolute and complete ignorance of people's needs and expectations, a total failure in human relations and customer service. Horrible experience that badly diluted any subsequent enjoyment of the cruise itself.

The light show is well worth the extra visit. You do not get a chance to walk around the basilica so you will need to make a second trip. If you are into light shows, a theater buff, or just like technology this was cool. Lights are shown on ceiling and across altar while music plays as you sit in the dark. Don't think young children would enjoy it.

This ethereal experience is like no other; this stunning performance of lights was breathtaking, beautiful, and literally took your breath away! I know, I know, you're like, "Really, it's just LIGHTS!" but the ambience, sound & lighting effects provided a 30 minute dream of wonder. The bonus? Getting to explore La Basilica, in the mystery of the darkness that comes with the night, to then walk out to the Place d' Armes to music & dancing!

We took a zodiac tour from Baie Saint Catherine. If you plan to do the same, here is some advice: 1) We had a good experience with Croisieres AML but if I were to go again, I'd do a bit more research first. The key to seeing a whale is the experience/skill of your captain. They don't have sophisticated tools. They just have ideas of where whales might be, communication with other boats, and intuition. We happened to have a good captain but the other boats at our time slot were not as fortunate. Look for companies that advertise experienced/skilled captains. 2) If you are coming from Quebec City, be prepared for a very scenic/mountainous but very long drive. If you want to see St. Anne Beaupre Basilica, it is on the way. You may want to combine trips. 3) Dress warmly. I can't understate this. Winter hat, gloves, layers. The air is much colder on the St. Lawrence and the wind chill on the boat is significant. You'll feel stupid waiting for the boat all bundled up, especially in the summer, but you'll have a much more comfortable ride. 4) It's not an exciting trip. Pretty boring, to be honest. We were on the boat for about an hour or more before we got to a place where we stopped to look for a whale. Other times might be shorter, but it's a huge area and I suspect every trip takes a while. Especially on the way back, I wished I had brought some ear phones to listen to music or a podcast because talking is not really possible due to the wind. 5) Seeing the whale up close was MAGNIFICENT. We were 15 feet from a humpback as it swam around us and then dove down. It's a site I'll never forget. It came back up near us and we saw it again just circle near us. Unforgettable experience. 6) If we had not seen a whale -- and I get the sense that finding one is equal parts skill and luck -- I would've considered the trip a bit of a disaster. Good luck!

The 5 course meal was horrible. Course 1 was a spoonful of ground shrimp on nuts. Course 2 was a spoonful of ground elk on sea weed. Course 3 was a spoonful of ground rabbit on seaweed. Course 5 was a sliver of blueberry cake. All mandatory! The DJ accepts no requests. He mixes only segments of songs to create a non-stop jungle beat. We wanted to jump off!!!

a must if you are in Montreal. We discovered this show by coincidence as we wanted to visit the church. I decided to give it a try and enjoyed it a lot. Perfect also if you are travelling with kids.

We reserved for a special night with fire works for my niece, we paid $1034 for 3 with VIP service. We were put on the bottom of the ship after passing by other 3 uproom and were assign the last table. The table was leaning to the right, it was very uncomfortable forthe back, was hot, over crowded, food was good but wine was cheap. Too many people to watch the fire work outside so we stayed at the table watching from part of the window. Very expensive for the overall experience. Not recommending this cruise.

We went during the fireworks competition. The cruise stopped do we could watch the fireworks and the music was streamed at the same time. Dinner was so much better than expected. Service was of the highest standard. I would recommend this as a don't miss.
