Foodie Ferry:
Northumberland Ferries is taking passengers on more than just a Northumberland Strait crossing, but a culinary journey as well. Under the guidance of culinary powerhouse Chef Ilona Daniel, executive chef and instructor at Holland College Culinary Institute, the Salt Water Café’s menu has been revamped for the 2018 season. To make your crossing more than just a means to an end, look forward to new menu items like smoked salmon bagels, lobster croissants, and chowder cheese fries alongside the traditional staples from years gone by. Also on deck: The Handpie Company BBQ Pork Handpies and weekend seafood specials. With the introduction of this thoughtful, P.E.I. sourced menu, a visitor’s Canada’s food island experience commences the moment they step aboard.
Sea Serenade:
Music on Deck has been a long time staple on board Northumberland Ferries. From July through September enjoy music from Nova Scotian and Prince Edward Island musicians on the 1:00 pm and 2:45 pm departures from both Wood Islands and Caribou, as well performances at both ferry terminals on select dates. Taking the ferry hasn’t been just taking the ferry for a long time. Over time, our journeys to and fro have evolved into a cultural experience. Besides the viewing decks, occasional seal and porpoise sightings, and ability to sit back and relax, Northumberland Ferries introduction of an enhanced onboard experience has given all ferry travelers something more to forward to.
