For more than 85 years, Northumberland Ferries has connected Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia—carrying families, welcoming travellers and linking coastal communities. What began in 1941 as a vital transportation route has grown into something more meaningful: tradition, cherished memories and a strong sense of place.

Today, the 75-minute crossing invites travellers to slow down and settle in. Relax in comfortable passenger lounges, breathe in the fresh sea air from the outdoor decks, and take in sweeping views of the Northumberland Strait. As Prince Edward Island’s iconic red cliffs and white lighthouses come into view, you’ll quickly discover that getting there is part of the experience.

Leave the driving behind and enjoy everything the journey has to offer. During the summer season, Music on Deck showcases talented local musicians, while Seaside Experiences celebrate the region through local flavours, artisans and handcrafted goods, offering travellers a true taste of the Maritimes before they even reach their destination.

The journey begins the moment you step on board.
