Onboard Amenities

Viewing Decks

The Viewing Decks offer a great opportunity to walk around the ships, as well as take in the beautiful views of the Northumberland Strait. It is quite common to spot seals, birds and often porpoises swimming along side the ships. The Viewing Deck is a fantastic place to relax and enjoy the crossing!

Seaside Experiences

Throughout July to September, don’t miss out on our fantastic Seaside Experiences. During your crossing, immerse yourself in a truly Maritime experience with some of the finest live music, entertainment, food, wine, and beer samplings the region has to offer. Sit back and enjoy incredible ocean views, food, and live entertainment.

Music on Deck

Get your toes tapping with live music during your journey. Local musicians from PEI and Nova Scotia perform on the 1:00PM and 2:45PM departures from July through September. For musicians, apply to become a Music on Deck performer here.

Gift Shop

In Good Taste at Sea, onboard the mv Confederation is open from June to September and features goods created by local merchants from both sides of the Northumberland Strait. Shop music, books, jewelry, apparel, artwork, candy and much more. Join us in store for a unique Maritime experience!
