    Fun Dancing

    Live DJ and fun dancing. Started around 8:15. Had music in the dining area but unless you bought the food package you could not go in. Needed a little bit more seating for those not dining but all and all fun::)

    Response from the operator: Hello Karen, thank you for your review! We're delighted that you enjoyed the DJ, the dancing and the fun atmosphere on board. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the seating availability for guests not participating in the dining experience. Thank you for sharing your experience with us, and we're glad you had an enjoyable evening! — the Croisières AML team ⚓

    Dancing dinning

    First of all get dinner with cruise. If you’re sitting outside and it rains you cannot go in. Dinner is a must then go on the dance floor. It’s not for everyone not much to see more of a fine dining experience with a great dance floor.

    Response from the operator: Hello Martin, thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad you enjoyed the evening, the dining experience and the dance floor. Thank you as well for sharing your observations with future guests. We’re delighted you had a fun time on board and hope to welcome you back for another memorable evening! — the Croisières AML team ⚓

    Service no bueno music fun

    The first part of this cruise was horrendous. We had a server who was experiencing their first day on the job. It took my group an hour to receive any attention or to be asked how we were doing. Then finally after 2 attempts of ordering we were able to put an order in. It ended up being another server who had to take over the entire deck. Definitely not pleased with the service. The second half (the actual dancing) was quite fun. Just wish the food service matched the music.

    Response from the operator: Hello, thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear that the service at the beginning of the cruise did not meet your expectations. We understand how frustrating it must have been to wait so long before receiving assistance. We’re glad that the atmosphere and music helped make the second half of your evening more enjoyable. Your feedback is appreciated. — the Croisières AML team ⚓

    A Wonderful Evening

    The ship was very nice, the servers were fantastic, the DJ had a great selection of music. It was a drizzly night (on & off) but we were able to enjoy the scenery of the St Lawrence. I would highly recommend.

    Response from the operator: Bonjour, thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the cruise, from the comfort of the ship and the fantastic service to the great music selection from the DJ. Even with the occasional drizzle, we’re happy you were still able to take in the beautiful scenery along the St. Lawrence River. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back on board soon! The Croisières AML Team

    didn't get a seat, but amazing fireworks

    We thought we were there in time, but the gathering space had winding line, and by the time we made the long walk to the boat, there was not a seat to be had. The best fireworks display we've ever seen, thought you are still a ways away. The music seemed like American pop, but being we don't speak French, was good for us.

    Response from the operator: Hello, thank you for sharing your experience with us. We understand that the arrival and boarding required some patience, and we appreciate your understanding. We’re glad the fireworks view from the river and the onboard musical atmosphere helped make the evening special. Watching the show from the St. Lawrence is a unique perspective, and we’re happy it stood out as a highlight of your time with us. We hope to welcome you aboard again.

    Montreal: Evening cruise with DJ: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Montreal.

    How much does Montreal: Evening cruise with DJ cost?

    +

    Prices start at $67 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Montreal usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Montreal: Evening cruise with DJ take?

    +

    Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Montreal is not rushed.

    Is Montreal: Evening cruise with DJ worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 21 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Montreal, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Montreal: Evening cruise with DJ?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Montreal: Evening cruise with DJ suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Montreal: Evening cruise with DJ?

    +

    Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Montreal can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Montreal and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Montreal: Evening cruise with DJ start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Montreal within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Montreal?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Montreal experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Old Montreal Walking Tour | Small Group (Max 10) | by MTL Detours, The Original Montreal Mural Arts Tour by Spade & Palacio, Montreal Mile End Food Tour with Bagel, Poutine and 7 Tastings. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Montreal?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Montreal?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Montreal: Evening cruise with DJ?

    +

    Included: Dancefloor; 3.5 - hour cruise on the St. Lawrence River; and Live DJ. Not included: Alcoholic beverages; Dinner; and Parking. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Montreal: Evening cruise with DJ?

    +

    Please present yourself 30 minutes before the departure in front of the Cruises AML ticket office on the dock; to pick up your physical ticket (required for boarding). Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Montreal: Evening cruise with DJ?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Montreal: Evening cruise with DJ wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Montreal: Evening cruise with DJ if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.

    What do travelers say about Montreal: Evening cruise with DJ?

    +

    Across 21 reviews averaging 3.9 out of 5, recurring themes include food and drink, photo opportunities. The tastings and food stops are a highlight for most reviewers.
