Fun experience
We had a wonderful time at the Montreal Cruise Dinner and Dancing! It was our Thanksgiving treat, and it was such a fun experience. Although it was a little pricey, the food was delicious, the dancing was so much fun, and the service was excellent. Everyone was so kind, welcoming, and happy, which made the evening even more enjoyable. Parking was also very convenient, which was a big plus! We purchased the Red Carpet Experience this time, but next time I think we’ll opt for the 3-course dinner instead. Overall, it was a fantastic evening, and I would definitely do it again. A great way to celebrate a special occasion and enjoy a fun night out! Highly recommend!

Not views to see. Not much entertainment to offer. They didn't offer to refill our water after the desserts. Bad tour.
I have been traveling around the world and this is the most boring one. Not much to offer. Not even coffee and water refill after desserts.. bad...bad...bad.

We dodged a 4+ hour ordeal
This was going to be a 4 hour dinner cruise - we were told to arrive early so add that time to it as well. The pictures of a spacious area and sparkling clean floor to ceiling windows are VERY misleading; there was neither a lot of floor space nor were the large windows clean- rather grimy in fact. There were at least TWICE as many tables on a severely slanted floor than the pictures indicate. At the time we arrived it was about half full as it was early, but the noise level was already deafening. I had to get up from my chair and go around to my husband and yell in his ear for him to hear me say anything (his hearing is perfect). The diesel smell was overwhelming and did not make us eager to dine. The dish that was recommended on the internet as the only one worth ordering was filet and it was $25 EXTRA and was not even offered by our waiter. I appreciate that many of the people around us seemed in high spirits but spending 4 hours stuck on this smelly noisy none-too-clean vessel was unimaginable so we left without looking back.
Response from the operator: Hello, thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the dinner cruise did not meet your expectations. We understand your disappointment regarding the atmosphere, comfort on board, dining experience, and overall value. We appreciate you taking the time to share these detailed comments and your perspective on the experience. — The Croisières AML team ⚓

Pass on the tenderloin and lobster tail.
We took the Red Carpet and chose the beef tenderloin and lobster tail for the main course. Unfortunately both were not very good (tough cut and dried out tail). The rest of the meal and drinks were excellent along with the cruise. Overall it was good, but I would stay away from the tenderloin.
Response from the operator: Hello, thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad that you enjoyed the cruise, the overall dining experience and the drinks. We're sorry to hear that the beef tenderloin and lobster tail did not meet your expectations. We appreciate you taking the time to share your comments and are pleased that you still had a good evening on board. — the Croisières AML team ⚓

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Montreal Gourmet Dinner Cruise with DJ & Dancing: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Montreal.
How much does Montreal Gourmet Dinner Cruise with DJ & Dancing cost?
+
Prices start at $142 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 Gourmet Dinner Cruise with DJ & Dancing 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 Gourmet Dinner Cruise with DJ & Dancing worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 155 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 Gourmet Dinner Cruise with DJ & Dancing?
+
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 Gourmet Dinner Cruise with DJ & Dancing 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 Gourmet Dinner Cruise with DJ & Dancing?
+
Around 54 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 Gourmet Dinner Cruise with DJ & Dancing 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 Gourmet Dinner Cruise with DJ & Dancing?
+
Included: Dinner; Gratuities; Welcome cocktail, bottle of wine and digestif (only with Red Carpet option); Tea and coffee; and Cruise with commentary. Not included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; and Parking. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
