Under the Radar

Perhaps I was living under a rock, which I admit I certainly could have been, but I hadn’t really given much thought to Quebec City until I was going there. Given the city’s age, importance in the Second World War, and stunning cuisine, it would surely be a must visit place for nearly everyone in North America.

It’s not exactly a small town, with around 800,000 people living in the metro area, nor is it particularly hard to get to. Regardless, I’d truly been sleeping on the city and had no idea what I was missing.

Local Highlights

As I learned during my visit, the city has some spectacular things to do and see. I was also fortunate enough to meet some locals on the Virgin Voyages cruise I took to Quebec City. They gave us helpful insights into the area we were staying in and some places to eat dinner that were within an easily walkable distance.

The most obvious place to visit is the Chateau Frontenac. The unmistakable building defines the skyline of the city, soaring above the old city walls. Constructed in 1893, it has always been a hotel that caters to wealthy tourists. The sprawling structure contains more than 600 guest rooms. Some of these rooms are even named after important figures they have hosted, including Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Montmorency Falls towers above the lower stream that flows into the St. Lawrence.

Outside the city, there are the Montmorency Falls. Standing nearly 300 feet (83 m), this waterfall has one of the most robust and accessible public viewing areas I’ve ever been to. There is a bridge that crosses the falls and viewing platforms at multiple levels along both sides of the water. A massive seating area at the base, running the width of the river, makes for spectacular viewing and. Not to mention, the Montmorency falls are nearly 100 feet (30 m) taller than the Niagra Falls.

The Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupre is nothing short of stunning in its art and architecture.

If you travel still further outside the city, the Catholic Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupre is an architectural marvel. Regardless of your beliefs, it’s worth spending some time at this sanctuary if only to admire the construction. Unlike the hundreds of years old cathedrals that most often come to mind, this one was only completed in 1946 and borrows art deco design for the interior space.

Local Cuisine

As I mentioned, the city has a renowned culinary scene and is well recognized for its restaurants. More than 28 restaurants within Quebec City appear in the Michelin guide. Among them are fifteen one-star restaurants and a two-star restaurant, one of only two in Canada to receive that distinction. Don’t be fooled by the high honors, though, Quebec City has far more than just haute cuisine to offer.

One of the most widely known Canadian dishes is poutine and it comes straight from the province of Quebec. For those who are yet unaware of this most Québécois of dishes, it is French fries, topped with cheese curds, and then gravy. I’ve yet to meet a single person that doesn’t like this. Nearly everywhere in the city you can find poutine somewhere.

One of my personal favorite dishes, crepes, is commonplace in the province. They’re not as common as I wish they would be here in the states. Every once in a while, I see a crepes place pop-up and I flock to it, only to have it close again in a year or so. In Quebec City, though, you are spoiled for choice. Both sweet and savory crepes are available, and you really can’t go wrong with either of them. We ate at Le Casse-Crepe Breton and I loved it.

Sagamite’s Boar Short Ribs.

Where we ultimately dined, for our one night in the city, was a restaurant named Sagamite. This establishment works to share the culture of the Huron-Wendat through cuisine. Their specialty dish, Yatista, is fiery display of meat that instantly catches the eye and ear. I couldn’t have been happier to eat at such a unique place, nor could I have been fuller… bring your appetite should you dine here, and you should dine here.

Places to Stay

There is no shortage of places to stay in the city. The most famous building in the area is a hotel and that should give you some indication of how many options you have. We chose to stay at the Hotel Manoir D’Auteuil, located across the street from Esplande Park. The location was very convenient for walking around the city, but the busy one-way made for some more slightly complex pick-ups from drivers.

It was friendly and quaint. An overnight stay even includes breakfast the following morning. It’s not a grand breakfast, but the coffee was good and the bread was fresh. There are some words of warning that I really do feel obliged to share with everyone, though, about staying in the city.

If you need an elevator or have a hard time with stairs, take care to check what room you are booking into.

Neither Nichole nor I have mobility issues, but many people do, even if they are minor ones. Our room was accessible via a metal grated staircase that descended into an open-air courtyard. It’s rather picturesque, but not easily traversable. That’s the thing about old cities, the buildings weren’t built with wheelchairs, canes, or mobility problems in mind. Of course, many disabled people know this already, but for people who might not consider themselves disabled but, for example, merely have a hard time with stairs, this may not occur to them.

Yes, we came down that staircase. I thought it was unique, but would likely be challenging to anyone that struggles with stairs.

In fact, there were two parties of French speaking guests that were quite put out by the fact that their rooms were up the stairs. A rather intense argument ensued between the hotel clerk and the guests over this fact. Given that I know only a smattering of French words and phrases, I’m sure I missed most of the context for the disagreement. Then again, some verbal exchanges are understandable whether you speak the language or not.

Regardless, take care to note these things when booking a room in an older building.

Surprising Cost

When you consider the general appeal to upper end tourism, you might also think that things are expensive here. That’s what I thought too, but I was wrong.

That’s not to say everything is cheap either, you can certainly spend a lot of money staying here. It’s more that it’s not as expensive as you might think. For example, the taxi from the cruise terminal to the hotel, a twenty-minute ride, was under $20 US. As an aside, the cabs were good and clean but primarily used cash, so bring a little bit with you (read our travel money dos and don’ts). Uber is an option as well, but the cabs from the terminal were the faster choice.

Most of the food I mentioned is no more expensive than anywhere else I’ve been. I’d say it was cheaper than Chicago, a city I am frequently in, and had more generous portions as well, something no mid-westerner can ignore.

I even purchased some street art near the Place d’Armes, which turns out to be a rather famous vendor alley. The prints cost under $40 US for two different pieces. They are lovely works that hang in my home right now. Not that most people travel to acquire art, I know I don’t, but I like collecting pieces like that more than getting a t-shirt or hat.

The point is, you can visit Quebec City and not break the bank.

I Will Go Back

The only regret is not staying more nights in the city. When our cruise ended, the timing of flights out of the city were mostly impossible to meet for a same day departure. They were either too early or too late to be feasible for our destination. That seemed to be the case for most people since the city was swarming with guests we recognized from the cruise. We only booked one night and I wish we had stayed for more. The city is romantic and charming, overflowing with history and culture. It’s worth spending time here.

Quebec City is worth every second of your time.

Despite the nearly perfect autumn evening weather, I’m planning on going back in winter the first chance I get. I would love to see these darling streets done up for Christmas or partake in what I was told is some truly excellent snowmobiling in January and February. No matter when, though, I’ll be coming back.

The post An Unexpected Love – Quebec City appeared first on Far Far Away Travels.

Set to sail out of New York City, Miami, Los Angeles, and Seattle, the Brilliant Lady will be set to traverse the coasts of North America. As the first ship in the fleet that can pass through the Panama Canal, she can explore areas that Virgin hasn’t yet sailed.

There is more excitement as the Brilliant Lady will be sailing Alaska in 2026.

The newest sister ship arrives for Virgin.

New York and Miami

The Brilliant Lady starts her new voyages in New York City, setting out to Bermuda, Bahamas, Boston, Canada, and the Carolinas, bringing Virgin Voyage energy to whole new regions.

Finally, as winter arrives, Virgin’s new Brilliant Lady will make her way down to Miami to do some Caribbean sailings before making her way through the Panama Canal, a very popular itinerary.

Don’t miss out on her MerMaiden Voyage!

Los Angeles and Seattle

In 2026, the new Brilliant Lady will settle arrive at the west coast, doing sailings out of Los Angeles to Cabo and other western Mexican ports. As the Alaska sailing season kicks off, she’ll make her way up to Seattle where she’ll travel among whales and glaciers for the 2026 season.

While the Brilliant is exploring Alaska in 2026, the Valiant Lady will move into the Northeast U.S. ports.

The Brilliant Lady’s New Dining

The soon-to-be four Virgin ships are all built on the same model, with fairly small differences. The biggest change with the Brilliant Lady is the new take on the Razzle Dazzle restaurant. Scarlet Lady wowed us with Lucky Lotus, Virgin’s take on Chinese cuisine. On the Brilliant Lady we will be introduced to Rojo, Virgin’s new Spanish-inspired restaurant.

Classic Spanish fare like croquets, churros, and more take center stage with this new restaurant. Additionally, look out for Virgin’s new dinner show, Up With a Twist, that will be debuting on the new Brilliant Lady

You can never go hungry on Virgin Voyages

Entertainment on the Brilliant Lady

The shows on the different Lady ships are all different, and the Brilliant Lady is no exception. Expect new shows like Red Hot and Out of Time. As well as new pop-up entertainment around the ship.

Additionally, there are new parties to get excited about. Their new Electric Party will be a glowstick-inspired romp, complete with UV lighting to get that electric glow going. Additionally, there will be big changes to Scarlet Night, so get ready to experience something truly magical.

Cabin Changes on the Brilliant Lady

To squeeze through the Panama Canal, Virgin needed to move the lifeboats inward on the Brilliant Lady. As a result, there is a new category of cabin, the Slightly Smaller Sea Terrace. The balcony is considerably smaller. The comparative cabin sizes for a regular sea terrace and a slightly smaller sea terrace is the same. The difference is the balcony on a regular is 40 square feet but will be only 9 to 10 square feet on a slightly smaller. All slightly smaller sea terraces are on deck 8.

To make up for this shortcoming, Virgin put a second hammock on each slightly smaller balcony. A change that the hammock-lovers among us are very excited about. The price will be lower than a regular sea terrace.

The Queen Anne in Liverpool

We Love Cunard’s Queen Mary 2

There is something very special and classic about crossing the Atlantic on Cunard’s Queen Mary 2.  The Queen Mary 2 is the world’s only operating ocean liner, designed to cross the Atlantic in all sorts of weather. In fact, she is known for outpacing pretty much all the other ships in bad weather.

We sail the Queen Mary 2 about once a year as it is a much more delightful way to cross the pond than flying—and the price is sometimes similar or less! This means seven nights of entertainment, food, beverages, history, culture, and relaxation versus strapping yourself in a metal tube.

Here are some of the things we love about sailing transatlantic on the Queen Mary 2.

No jet lag! Each night they change the clocks backward or forward by one hour as appropriate, so the time change is extremely gentle and you are well rested when arrive.

The ship is full of history; most of the walls are covered with murals that describe the history of both the Cunard line and Queen Mary 2. For example, there is a display discussing Cunard’s role in rescuing survivors of the Titanic. In fact, the Carpathia was one of the first ships to arrive and save Titanic survivors.

Will You Be Bored?

Some people worry about becoming bored on a transatlantic crossing. We have a list of 101 Things to Do. There are nightly shows, games, a gym, pools, a casino, an incredible library, classes, and much more. Warning: the scavenger hunt can be quite challenging.

Honestly, there is so much to do, we sometimes complain about doing too much!

In-room entertainment. You will have no lack of films and TV shows in your cabin.  There is live news depending on the signal strength available at the time.

We love the lectures on board. There are usually several speakers on board with different expertise. Some lecturers we’ve heard onboard include the designer of Queen Mary 2, who was incredibly fascinating. We heard a retired British customs agent who had surprisingly interesting stories about various criminal attempts. Often there is someone speaking about the entertainment industry. The lectures are usually recorded and can be viewed later in your cabin.

Formal Gala nights are worth the effort with great entertainment, but if is not your thing, you don’t have to participate. Cunard arranges for many part of the ship available for those who don’t dress up.

Consider the fun of dressing up for a masquerade or the Red and Gold ball. And there’s no sitting fee for posing for formal portaits. We suggest dressing up a bit. While there will be tuxes, men will not be out of place with a jacket and collared shirt, tie optional.

Dining on the Queen Mary 2

Your meal options begin with the main dining room unless you are in a Princess or Queens grill suite, in which case you have a separate restaurant. You can choose early or late seating and will have the same table and waitstaff each night. We like this as the waitstaff will get to know you and your preferences. However, you do have the option to change this at any time.

At the Carpathian lounge or cafe you can get specialty coffees like lattes and cappuccinos. There is often a light breakfast or snacks such as small sandwiches and desserts. It’s a lovely place for a quick meal. Often games like trivia are often played in the Carpathian lounge although they are played in other venues as well.

There is the aforementioned lounge or cafe for snacks, and the buffet where there is a separate station where you can get hamburgers, hot dogs, pizza and such.

In addition to all this Cunard cruises will have several specialty dining options.  There is typically an up charge for the specialty dining.

The kennels on the Queen Mary 2 usually sell out before the human cabins

Bring Your Dog or Cat!

The Queen Mary 2 is the only passenger ship with a kennel. The kennel is famous among frequent travelers. We know people who take the Queen Mary 2 back and forth between the States and Europe at least once every year and they bring their pets with them. There is a highly regarded kennel staff and a great area where owners play with dogs. Even people without pets onboard like to go watch. The pets are extremely well cared for and the owners are allowed to go play at various times with them in a nice open-air area. The kennels are so popular that slots almost always fill up before the human cabins. If you want to travel abroad and you can’t bear the thought of leaving your dog at home and you don’t want them cooped up in an airplane, the Queen Mary 2 is what you want.

Practicalities

Cunard has recently upgraded their wi-fi to Starlink. There are two levels of service for Wi-Fi, basic and premium.

Laundry–Cunard has free self-service laundrettes around the ship. Free detergent is available. Of course, you can always pay for laundry and pressing services.

Special Pricing for Cunard Eclipse Cruises

Because we love both Cunard and Solar Eclipses, we have arranged for special group pricing on two Cunard cruises for the August 2026 solar eclipse. You can read about it here. And you can find information and book here.
