An original way to enjoy Montreal’s Old Port in the wintertime
Published on December 15, 2025 • Attractions to discover
Winter can be a time to slip into a cozy routine… but it can also be a time to try something new, gain a new perspective on the season and add colour to everyday life. The Bateau-Mouche opens the door to this possibility!
Bateau-Mouche Montreal
Imagine a peaceful but memorable experience, where you see the city in a different way, carried by the movement of the river and the light reflecting off the quay. It's an opportunity for a soothing escape that takes you, for an evening, to a place where time slows down and, above all, where everything becomes simpler and clearer. It's an invitation to enjoy a winter evening in a whole new way.
Cozy luminous winter bubbles
The Frosted Domes by Bateau-Mouche, located directly on the historic Clock Tower docks, offer a moment when winter ceases to be a constraint. You can sit there on your own, with your sweetheart or with a small group, in a transparent, heated space that lets in light while blocking out the wind. The meal you will be served is naturally in tune with the season, adding spice to the experience.
As the evening progresses, the St. Lawrence River and Jacques Cartier Bridge create a changing backdrop that discreetly elevates the experience. These Domes are equally suited to celebrations and spontaneous get-togethers. Accessible throughout the winter and until April, they offer the opportunity to plan a unique winter moment that is truly magical.
Evenings that light up Montreal
For those who prefer a livelier atmosphere without getting lost in too much noise, Frosted Evenings offer a more vibrant winter vibe. Inside the boat docked at the Old Port, music, appetizers and city lights blend naturally, creating a setting where you can chat, laugh and unwind.
Happy hours take on a special tone here, and so do casual dinners. It's neither an extravagant party nor a formal event: it's a carefully crafted balance, designed for when you want to go out without overdoing it. An evening on the boat is a chance to see Montreal from a gentler angle, carried by the river and the reflections that surround it.
The gift of a wonderful experience
For Christmas, a birthday or simply to give someone a different kind of gift, Bateau-Mouche is perfect. A meal under the domes, a lively evening on the river, a night out and an extraordinary experience—it's something you absolutely must discover! Reservations can be made directly on the website, allowing you to choose the date that suits you best. Treat your loved ones and give them the gift of unique memories!
