Getting around Québec
Québec boasts vast road and airline networks that provide service to the entire territory. Travellers can easily go from one major city to another, for example, from Montréal to Québec City, by car, bus, train or plane. A number of ferries, moreover, link the two shores of the St. Lawrence River, and boat service is available to communities in the Îles-de-la-Madeleine and the Basse-Côte-Nord (lower north shore) region. Aboriginal communities in Nunavik can be easily reached by plane.

By boat
 The majestic St. Lawrence River, which links the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes, runs across the entire territory of Québec and is bordered by numerous cities and villages.
Ferries
 Numerous ferries offer year-round or seasonal service on the St. Lawrence River and other major waterways (the Saguenay, Richelieu and Outaouais rivers). A ferry also links Prince Edward Island to the Îles-de-la-Madeleine, while a passenger-freight ship serves the entire Basse-Côte-Nord region between Havre-Saint-Pierre, Île d'Anticosti and Blanc-Sablon. Reservations are recommended, particularly during the peak season.Pleasure boating
Thanks to the Association maritime du Québec’s new voluntary classification program, some 30 of the province’s recreational marinas now feature one- to five-anchor ratings. This organization also runs the Eco Marina certification program.
