Departure: Quebec City ferry terminal (Old Port, near Place Royale)

Quebec City ferry terminal (Old Port, near Place Royale) is where the Quebec City to Levis ferry begins. We tell you whether tickets are scanned at a gate or on board, whether an ID or passport is required, and how early to arrive for your sailing and vessel. On busy summer days the port is crowded, so the margin matters.

• Haqqi Tours offers a private transfer from your accommodation in Quebec City to the port on request
• Let us know which gate or terminal your sailing uses - big ports have several
• Foot passengers: at the port 45-60 minutes before departure; vehicles 60-90 minutes
• Keep the e-ticket and the ID or passport used for booking together

Arrival: Lévis ferry terminal (Quai Paquet, Old Lévis)

The ferry docks at Lévis ferry terminal (Quai Paquet, Old Lévis) - Lévis is the city on the south shore of the St Lawrence facing Quebec City, with a historic old town, a riverside promenade and views of the Château Frontenac across the water. From the pier you are minutes from taxis, buses and the town itself. Haqqi Tours arranges a private transfer from the port to your hotel in Levis with a driver waiting at the exit, which for a family with bags is the easiest way to finish the Quebec City to Levis crossing.

Onward journeys from Levis - another ferry, a flight or a train the same day - can be added to the booking; let us know and we time the crossing to fit.

On board the Quebec City to Levis ferry: seats, cabins, cars and luggage

The ship makes the difference on this route: the conventional ferry has more space, open decks and a steadier ride; the high-speed boat has airline seating and gets you there faster. Both types on this route carry vehicles on some sailings; we tell you which. Children have their own fares, luggage travels free within limits, and pets are accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels.

• Pets accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels - tell us if one is travelling
• Seats: economy, airline-style, lounge and business on the fast boats; deck seats on the slow ferries
• Cabins with beds and showers on overnight sailings - two to four berths
• Café, bar or restaurant on most vessels; open decks on the conventional ferries

How much does the ferry from Quebec City to Levis cost?

The cost of the ferry from Quebec City to Levis depends on the shipping line, the type of vessel, the date, whether you travel as a foot passenger or with a car, and the seat or cabin you choose. A conventional ferry is cheaper than a high-speed one; a summer Saturday costs more than a weekday in May; a car adds a vehicle fare; a cabin on an overnight sailing adds more. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price: we verify the live fares for your exact date and send the real cost on WhatsApp, with the options side by side.

Ask us for two or three sailings and we send the cost of each - fast boat and slow boat, morning and afternoon - so you can see the difference before you book the Quebec City to Levis ferry.

Cheapest ferry ticket from Quebec City to Levis: how to pay less

The cheapest ferry ticket from Quebec City to Levis is normally on the conventional ferry, booked early, on a weekday outside the peak weeks. These are the rules our staff applies:

• Choose the conventional ferry over the high-speed boat when time allows - it is cheaper, steadier and frequently more scenic
• Book early for July, August, Easter and holiday weekends, when sailings sell out and fares rise
• Travel on a weekday - Friday and Sunday sailings carry the highest fares
• Let us know if your dates are flexible; moving by a day often changes the fare
• Compare operators - on this route the cheapest company changes with the date
• Price the crossing with and without the car - for two people a rental at the other end is sometimes cheaper

We answer "what is the cheapest way to get from Quebec City to Levis by ferry?" many times a day; the answer for your travel date comes back by WhatsApp with the booking ready to confirm.
