An Ocean Cruise Experience — Fine dining, Broadway-caliber entertainment, casino action, outdoor fun, and comfortable private cabins make us New England's only cruise ferry. Total Satisfaction — All-around pampering keeps our clients coming back. Almost 40% are repeat passengers. Outdoor Activities — Our new $1 Million SkyDeck makes us the only ship offering outdoor fun like sunbathing, whale watching, hot tubs and more! Smooth Sailing — The Scotia Prince is the smoothest way to cross between New England and Nova Scotia. Convenience — Sailing from/to Portland, the southernmost departure point in New England for Nova Scotia, saves you 6 hours of round trip driving versus more northern crossings. Easy Access — Shuttle service connects our terminal to the rail station where Amtrak trains will speed you to Boston. Because the Scotia Prince can also carry almost 200 vehicles, you can bring your car, van, or RV with you. And the crossing saves over 750 miles of driving - each way! As a passenger en route to Nova Scotia or to New England, once aboard you'll soon understand why getting there is half the fun. Our ship is like a floating resort! Indeed many of our experienced passengers use the cruise itself as a wonderful "mini" vacation, both coming and going. They know that on board you'll find a friendly, professional crew offering impeccable service. There's gracious dining with new and improved menus, followed by laughter and late night floor shows. Our famous Casino, with its friendly tables and lucky slots, has been expanded along with our tax and duty-free shopping. Enjoy spectacular ocean views, whale watching, sun bathing and more. During the school holidays we even have children's entertainment and activities. Since 1970, our cruise ship has been Maine's best kept vacation secret. If you're traveling to Nova Scotia from New England or the mid-Atlantic states, sailing across the Gulf of Maine aboard the M/S Scotia Prince cruise ship is the shortest, most relaxing way to go. The Prince sails nightly at 8:00PM EST from Portland, Maine, arriving in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia the next morning at 8:00AM AST. We depart daily from Yarmouth, NS at 9:00AM AST arriving back in Portland, ME at 7:00PM EST. Port to Port is 11 hours and saves approximately 14 hours driving.
