For 85 years, Northumberland Ferries has been a vital link between Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia. For many travellers, it’s more than a ferry; it’s a familiar part of family travel traditions, shared across generations.

The 75-minute crossing between Wood Islands, PEI and Caribou, marks the true beginning of the trip, offering time to settle into Island time before you even arrive.

Onboard MV Confederation and MV Northumberland, a friendly, experienced crew is there to make the crossing is safe, easy, and comfortable. There’s room to stretch out, casual dining options, and thoughtful touches like their Pet Friendly Lounges so everyone in the family feels welcome.

During peak season, select sailings feature Music on Deck, with live performances from regional musicians. The Seaside Experiences program adds another taste of the Island, highlighting local food, art, and handcrafted goods. It’s a small but meaningful introduction to PEI, one that keeps people coming back, year after year.

The journey begins aboard Northumberland Ferries. Book online at ferries.ca or call 1.877.762.7245.
