Nova Scotia FerryFrom MaineDuring the summer months, from late May to mid-October many American vacationers take advantage of the warmer weather and choose to ride the Nova Scotia ferry from Maine to the province. Unfortunately, this service has been terminated for the year 2010 and beyond. Please read the letter from the President of the Cat high speed ferry service by clicking on the Cat logo below. My understanding is the ferry service from New Brunswick to Digby, Nova Scotia will remain. For a schedule of crossing times as well as crossing fees please click on the Bay Ferries logo below.
From Saint John, New BrunswickFor those vacationers arriving by automobile from the rest of Canada, there is also the Nova Scotia ferry service that leaves from New Brunswick and crosses the Bay of Fundy to arrive in Digby, Nova Scotia.The ferry leaves daily from St. John, New Brunswick to Digby, Nova Scotia on a daily basis. It also has returning ferries, from Digby, Nova Scotia to St. John, New Brunswick, on a daily basis. This ferry, named The Princess of Acadia, is a standard ferryboat, and not a catamaran. AmenitiesDuring your ferry ride over the Bay of Fundy, the following amenities are for your use and enjoyment.

The other alternative you have, of course, is to drive directly to Nova Scotia and bypass the nova scotia ferry altogether. I have personally done it both ways, and I find the convenience of taking the ferry crossing hard to beat. |
