About Société des traversiers du Québec

The Société des traversiers du Québec is the public ferry operator created in 1971. It runs river crossings across the St. Lawrence and other waterways, such as Québec to Lévis and Tadoussac to Baie-Sainte-Catherine.

Its ferries are part of daily life for commuters and part of the adventure for road trippers heading to Charlevoix, the Côte-Nord or the Saguenay. The short Québec to Lévis crossing offers a classic view of Old Québec and the Château Frontenac from the water. On a summer trip to Tadoussac, the ferry ride across the Saguenay fjord is a scenic moment of its own.
