We drove to the Southern tip of Prince Edward Island to board the ferry to Nova Scotia saving us many hours of backtracking and a long days drive. We arrived at the port 2 hours early, we were the first in line to board. The ferry was huge, more an open ocean going ship than a ferry. It was easily several times bigger than Nantucket ferries. The ship loaded a couple hundred cars and dozens of tractor trailers onto 2 decks, the lower one for cars, the upper one for bigger vehicles. We loaded 2 vehicles abreast speeding things up , it was a well orchestrated process. We were not permitted to stay in our truck. The 3 upper passenger decks we’re comfortable and spacious with spotless bathrooms. The trip took 1.5 hours. This ferry service ends in December when the ocean freezes solid for the winter. We loved Prince Edward Island and hated to leave but looking forward to Nova Scotia.
