Set sail to Grosse-Île

Formerly used as a quarantine station during epidemics, Grosse-Île is teeming with mysteries. Embark on a cruise with Parks Canada guides and visit this intriguing place that has long been off-limits to visitors. AML Cruises also offers a first-class tour of the island, which includes a personalized welcome and an exclusive guide. If you’re feeling adventurous, bring your bike and explore Grosse-Île on two wheels. New this year, you can opt for the cruise to Grosse-île that includes bus transportation from Québec City!
