You step onto the ship as the St. Lawrence breathes cool air along the hull; the Old Port dissolves into a skyline of stone and steel and the Jacques‑Cartier Bridge lifts like a drawn line across the river. Lights begin to wink in storefronts and onshore promenades, and the city leans toward the water as the cruise pulls away.
