Halifax Cruise
A Marquee Port
Halifax is a marquee port of call on the Canada-New England cruise itinerary. The Halifax cruise port is ideally situated for cruise lines that operate along North America's East Coast and only a day's sail from either New York and Boston. An international port of call with first class facilities, Halifax welcomes hundreds of cruise ships and luxury sailing vessels from the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, St Pierre and Miquelon, Atlantic Canada, and the St. Lawrence Region of Quebec.
Whether it's spring, summer, or fall Halifax offers cruise visitors diverse cultural heritage and natural beauty. Popular land packages include exploration of this world famous seacoast. Stroll the world's longest harbourfront boardwalk right from the dockside cruise ship terminal to Halifax Historic Properties where you can enjoy shopping, dining and the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. Halifax's cosmopolitan centre has plenty of transportation options, and is both compact and safe for those who embark on foot for Halifax sightseeing.
