Update to Fares for Bay Ferries and Northumberland Ferries
Effective August 1, 2025, the Government of Canada is making ferry travel in the Maritimes more affordable. Thanks to this initiative, Bay Ferries and Northumberland Ferries will be offering a 50% fare reduction on services between Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. This initiative makes ferry travel more affordable and accessible for everyone. We’re pleased to pass these savings on to our customers.
