The AML experience

Safety aboard the boats

At Croisières AML, our quality service always puts passenger safety first. Each of our ships must meet very specific Transport Canada certification and licensing standards and regulations.

 

As a result, all our ships and officers are fully certified by Transport Canada and Transport Québec.
