The Basilica itself is stunning, the history, architecture and what it represents are all unbelievable. The Aura experience was fantastic and a must do, whilst visiting the city… I would say it can be a little repetitive as realistically how many lights can you play, but that said is was magical and emotive… a must do (once).

This is a truly amazing experience. The cathedral being the perfect backdrop for the light and sound show. Worth the money and time.

Unbelievable I’ve done this twice this year so far. Went with my cousin came back with my life. It’s just an amazing show. In combo with the boat tour it’s a great afternoon.

We hope to welcome you back on board soon! – The Croisières AML Team
Definitely not worth the time or money for light show but worth the visit to the Basilica. At least the money is going to the restoration. The light show was underwhelming. Says the show lasts over an hour but that includes going 30 minutes early (when doors open) show started at 8:10 and was over in less than 20 minutes.
The cruise was nice, but the Aura show was fantastic, and very beautiful! You must see the Aura show!
Hello, Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re happy you enjoyed your cruise and that you were also impressed by the Aura show in Montréal. It’s such a spectacular production and a great way to round out a day of exploring the city. We’re glad both experiences made your visit memorable. We look forward to welcoming you on board again soon. - The Croisières AML Team
You get to wait outside in a long line and sit on a rock hard pew for 40 minutes before the 20 minute light show starts. You get little benefit of the churches magnificent organ. Frankly, I would rather be able to view the interior of the church without the light show.
Hello, We’re sorry to hear that the experience didn’t meet your expectations. The light show is designed to highlight the beauty and history of the church in a unique and immersive way, but we understand that some visitors may prefer a quieter visit to admire the architecture. Thank you for taking the time to share your impressions. - The Croisières AML Team
The cruise was also great, with nice surroundings and, for an extra fee, cocktails. The Aura only allows you to take photos before and after, but it really is awesome. I recommend it.
Hello, We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the cruise and the beautiful setting! It’s great that you were able to enjoy cocktails on board, and we’re glad the Aura left a strong impression. Thank you for recommending the experience, and we hope to welcome you back on another cruise soon! - The Croisières AML Team
This is an excellent light & sound show in the magnificent Notre Dame Basilica, Montreal . It gets very crowded so start lining up an hour before the show as it is very hard to find seats together . The lighting was fabulous and the music that accompanied it excellent. You have to visit when in Montreal!
Hello, Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the light and sound show at Notre-Dame Basilica, with its stunning visuals and music. It’s wonderful to hear you recommend it to others visiting Montreal. — The Croisières AML Team
The cruise was okay, the guide was great. However they don't tell you that the Aura show can be sold-out and your ticket is only good when they have room. The basilica sells their own tickets, so you may have to go the next day.
Hello, Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the cruise and your guide. We’re sorry for the inconvenience with the Aura show, which is managed by the basilica and can sell out. We’ll work on making this clearer for future guests! Warm regards, The Croisières AML Team
