Groupe Dufour Cruises

Have you ever heard the call of the sea? Groupe Dufour offers you the opportunity to find your sea legs with its numerous cruises. Discover the marvels of the St. Lawrence and its impressive whales. If you are planning a business meeting, why not offer your colleagues a change of scenery and opt for our onboard business facilities instead of a regular boardroom? All aboard, mateys, and we are off!

The Famille Dufour monohull has a capacity of 580 passengers. A cruise aboard this comfortable boat will take you through calm waters into the world of the whales for about 3 hours. This experience is not only about watching the whales, however; you will also learn a great deal about the St. Lawrence and its inhabitants. Visit our onboard museum where you can see a beluga skeleton, the head of a minke whale, a bone from a blue whale and a sperm whale’s tooth. You can even visit the ship’s captain!

Embark aboard the Tadoussac III, a 48-passenger Zodiac boat that will take you into the heart of the majestic St. Lawrence to unravel its many mysteries. This enriching experience in the company of a naturalist guide promises a closer look at the whales. Wear warm clothes to take full advantage of this memorable adventure!

Also inquire about our cruises to the Saguenay Fjord.
