Creator's Key Takeaways

This is probably the best welcome we have had on any of the ports that we visited on this cruise.

The experience was, shall we say, quite jarring and uncomfortable. In fact, one of our members has only just recovered.

What made the exhibition so captivating for me is how photographs are able to condense what must be complex narratives into a single frame.

The fjord is quiet but powerful. It's a deep, narrow waterway carved by glacias with steep cliffs rising sharply on either side.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book boat trips for the fjord in advance as they are often pre-booked and limited.
If you want to see the inside of the local church, visit in the morning as they may be locking up by the afternoon.
The hop-on hop-off bus is a reasonable alternative if excursions are unavailable, but be prepared for uncomfortable seating.

Spend an unforgettable cruise port day with us in beautiful Saguenay, Quebec. From the moment we step off at the Saguenay Cruise Terminal, the day unfolds with rich history, vibrant culture, and stunning views of the Saguenay River. We’ll take you into the heart of Chicoutimi and throughout the greater Saguenay region to experience the very best this port has to offer. Climb aboard the colorful yellow hop-on hop-off school bus as we pass the fascinating Bagotville Air Defence Museum and make our way to the breathtaking Cathédrale Saint-François-Xavier. Along our journey we explore historic landmarks including the iconic Little White House, Sacré-Cœur Church, a hidden church museum, and the charming La Commerce General Store. We also dive into the region’s industrial heritage at the historic Chicoutimi Pulp Mill. Art enthusiasts will appreciate inspiring stops at the World Press Photo Exhibition 2025 and the Jean-Jules Soucy exhibit, where powerful global and regional stories come to life through photography and contemporary art. To end the day, we browse a lively local street market and take in the scenic surroundings at the Pavillon des Croisières before sailing away and enjoying a relaxing dinner onboard at the elegant Concerto Main Dining Room.
