GETTING THERE IS HALF THE FUN
The coastal and mountain roads of Québec maritime offer some enthralling views, but how about letting go of the steering wheel to appreciate this awesome geography from another perspective? Take your time reaching your destination and feast your eyes all along the way. Relax in VIA Rail comfort and enjoy the romance of the dining car. Go ferry hopping across the St. Lawrence, while keeping an eye out for seals and whales in the waves. Take a CTMA cruise to the Îles de la Madeleine and start unwinding the second your feet leave land. Join a Relais Nordik expedition along the Lower North Shore and explore isolated villages not linked by any roads.
