If I want to travel from NS to PEI by ferry, and return via the Confederation Bridge, in order to have a guaranteed crossing do I have to pay to make a reservation on the ferry, and then pay to return via the bridge?Freda
Hello Freda,
Thank you for reaching out to Ask an Islander.
Yes, if you want a guaranteed crossing from Nova Scotia to PEI you would need to make a reservation with Northumberland Ferries Ltd. and pay the fee to cross. The fee for the ferry is the same for whether you're traveling one way or a round trip.
If you don't mind going on standby, you can travel to PEI by ferry for free and then leave by the Confederation Bridge and only have to pay the bridge toll. Please visit the Northumberland Ferries Ltd. website for more information on fares.
Kindly,
Valerie
