knarf Posted March 16, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Hi all, Looking for some help please.:) Our cruise (Explorer) ends in Quebec City. We arrive on the 18 of Sept. and disembark on the 19th. Can I "catch" the VIA train to Montreal at 7:45 AM on the morning of the 19th. Can you leave the ship early since we arrive there the night before ? Or does immigration not get there until later ? What would the earlest that you think I could be at the train station ? Thank you for the help. I am trying to get airfare out of Montreal, later that day. :) Thanks Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted March 16, 2013 #2 Share Posted March 16, 2013 You should be cleared at the first Canadian port of entry so if you can get to the train station on time you should be fine I would arrange a taxi the day before to be there early in the morning I am not sure how far the train station is from the port in Quebec city so best check ahead of time Could you not get a flight from YQB to where you need to go??

knarf Posted March 16, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted March 16, 2013 You should be cleared at the first Canadian port of entry. Does this mean I can get right off the ship as early as the ship will let me and that I don't have to go thru immigration on the morning of the 19th ? so if you can get to the train station on time you should be fine I would arrange a taxi the day before to be there early in the morning I am not sure how far the train station is from the port in Quebec city so best check ahead of time Could you not get a flight from YQB to where you need to go?? Hi, Thanks for the info. Air fare from YQB is about $670 and air from Montreal is $404 +$114(rail fare)=$518. I called Via rail and "he" said the train station in not too far at all from the port.:confused: Good idea about setting up the taxi the day before. Thanks neighbor..going to Pittsburgh tomorrow, I'll roll down the window and yell hello.:D later, Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt you'll have much problem making that train. That said, while I'm all for train-over-bus, there's actually a direct bus from the same station (well, the separate-but-same-building bus station) to YUL, which costs about $70.
