Day 1. Arrival in Montreal – SENS HØTEL

Day 2. Voyage to Quebec City – Ice Hotel
In the morning, board the VIA Rail for a scenic 3-hour train ride from Montreal to Quebec City. Marvel at the picturesque landscapes and charming towns along the St. Lawrence River from the comfort of your seat. Upon arrival, a transfer will take you to the magical Hôtel de Glace for an extraordinary overnight stay in either a thematic suite with 1 bed, or in 1 bedroom for 2 with 1 or 2 beds. Your adventure includes a cozy sleeping bag for a night spent in a beautifully sculpted ice room. And for those who don’t want to brave the full night in the Ice Hotel, a backup room at the Valcartier Hotel will be available just a hundred yards away. A similar Ice Hotel’s appearance in The 2002 James Bond movie “Die Another Day” added a memorable and visually stunning element to the film, and it showcased the allure of this remarkable icy retreat in the world of James Bond. Experience the true James Bond connection with welcome cocktails, one-of-a-kind Ice Hotel accommodations and access to the Nordic area with hot tubs and sauna under the stars.
