Comfortable car ferry trips connect Maine,
New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and
Newfoundland to Nova Scotia. As part of
the Canada/New England cruise corridor,
several major cruise lines also visit ports of
call in Nova Scotia between early May and
late Oct.
Highways from all points in the United States
and Canada join the Trans Canada Highway
from New Brunswick into Nova Scotia.
Greyhound from New York and Voyageur
from Montreal connect with Acadian Lines
which serves Atlantic Canada. At Amherst,
intra-provincial bus lines link most major
communities.
Nova Scotia is located two hours closer to Europe than any other mainland North American destination, and its capital city, Halifax, is geographically closer to Boston and New York than any other major Canadian city.
