Travel Guide

By Sea

It makes perfect sense to come to Nova Scotia by sea. With loads of options, it can be quick and convenient and with the thrill of an ocean voyage, getting here really is half the fun.

As part of the Canada/New England cruise corridor, more than 20 major cruise lines visit Nova Scotia ports of call. From the marquee ports of Halifax and Sydney, to the smaller ports of call, a variety of shore excursions will provide rich cultural experiences to suit every taste. Discover the birthplace of New Scotland, be a soldier for a day, immerse yourself in 1744 France or visit a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Click through to www.atlanticcanadacruise.com for a wealth of booking options for cruises to Nova Scotia.
