Set sail between Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia to embark on a journey that’s just as meaningful as the destination. For 85 years, families have made Maritime memories on the ferry. It’s a beloved summertime tradition passed from generation to generation. 

When you step aboard, you’ll immerse yourself in everything you love about Canada’s Atlantic coast. Head to the Viewing Deck for beautiful views of the Northumberland Strait and see if you can spot playful seals, porpoises and seabirds along the way. Treat the kids to ice cream and sweets and indulge in on-board dining while you enjoy the salty sea breeze. Be serenaded by the talents of local musicians or explore the gift shop (MV Confederation) for unique souvenirs.
