Guide to Cruise Ports and Terminals
The cruise terminal in Quebec City is officially called the Ross Gaudrault Cruise Terminal. It is conveniently located at the foot of Old Quebec.
The terminal, which is called "Terminal de Croisiere" in French, is accessible by taxi, foot or public transit. Most cruise ships dock at Wharf 22 or 30. Occasionally, Wharf 103 and adjacent docks are used.
Passengers arriving at docks 22 or 30 won't require shuttle service.
If however, your ship is docked at dock 102, 103 or 104, a shuttle will be needed.
