SmithAlien Posted May 10, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I have been looking at Halifax from satellite photos (Google Maps) to see what the city looks like, in case of a future job opportunity there. I've never visited there, but may do so soon. In the satellite photos I noticed the cruise port close to downtown. I vaguely remember seeing there were cruises offered to Halifax as part of Canada/New England itineraries, but never gave it a thought. Do any cruises depart from there (ie, could I get on a cruise there), or do cruises only stop there as one port of call on their itineraries?

janmcn Posted May 10, 2017 #2 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I think it is only a port call but it's a wonderful city and easy to walk around (fascinating maritime museum right along the harbor walk.) it's also the port many people take a tour from to Peggy's Cove and also see the graveyard for many Titanic victims. We love the port! Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I have seen, the boats only stop here on a visit. I have not yet seen/heard of this being a port of embarkation. It would be nice, but I'm not holding my breath. If you have any specific ?'s... let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryann ns Posted May 31, 2017 #4 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I know people who embarked on a cruise which left New York and stopped in Halifax next before crossing the Atlantic. That is about the only way to embark there. I think they paid full price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
