Long traversed for its ease of shipping supplies, many cities have grown up along the banks of the St. Lawrence. Popular cruises typically take in the ports of Kingston, Montreal, Quebec City and Ottawa. St. Lawrence Cruise Lines offers two-, three-, five-night and longer excursions that provide plenty of opportunities for exploring ports of call.
