A VIP space for the time of a cruise

Indulge yourself and enjoy our VIP experience by choosing this most distinctive whale-watching cruise in the superb Lounge Saint-Laurent of the AML Grand Fleuve.

Treat yourself to the best to fully enjoy the world's best marine mammal observation site in the comfort of this private glass-enclosed lounge that accommodates a maximum of 20 guests per cruise. Priority entry, a platter of local delicacies, included and personalized bar service are just a few of the advantages of the VIP Saint-Laurent Lounge.

What to Expect:

  • The Site: You can board from the magnificent Charlevoix region or from Tadoussac, the most beautiful village in Quebec, which is also internationally recognized as the best place in the world to observe whales.
  • Duration: This whale watching cruise on an observation boat lasts between 3:00 and 3:30, depending on the tides and maritime conditions.
  • Professional Guide: All our whale-watching cruises are led and commented on by experienced and certified naturalist guides.
  • Panoramic View: Exclusively enjoy the exceptional view offered by the VIP Saint-Laurent Lounge or move to the observation deck located on the upper deck. You will then have the privilege of interacting with the naturalist guide who settles there to comment on the sightings.
  • Guaranteed Memories: You will have the chance to take photos and create unforgettable memories in the company of the most majestic creatures on the planet.
  • Onboard Amenities: VIP Saint-Laurent Lounge guests enjoy a gourmet box composed of regional products, as well as a full bar service included in the cruise price. A complete bathroom is also exclusively available to our VIP guests.
  • Whale Guarantee: Our sighting rate is extremely high. However, since the marine park is a natural environment, sometimes the mammals are more discreet. No worries, if no sightings are made, you will be invited back on board for a future whale-watching cruise (VIP St-Laurent Lounge access not included).
  • Tips and Tricks: If you are arriving by car from Montreal or Quebec City for a single day, choose to depart from Baie-Ste-Catherine to avoid taking the ferry to Tadoussac, which will save you a few minutes.
