Getting There by Water
Québec City and Montréal are the most important Canadian ports on the St Lawrence Seaway, which links the Atlantic Ocean with the Great Lakes and the industrial heartland of Canada and the USA. Several international cruise ships sail to both Montréal and Québec City (some vessels are too big to go up the river to Montréal). Most of the province's lakes and rivers (notably the Ottawa, known in French as the Outaouais, the Richelieu and the Saguenay) are served by local ferries, some of which are able to take heavy lorries.
