    Cruises

    Located on the southwestern tip of Nova Scotia, the Port of Yarmouth is beautifully positioned to be a port of call for small cruise ships travelling in the region.

    Yarmouth is a MARSEC Level 1 Port and home to a seasonal international ferry to the United States, with capabilities well beyond expectations. We are also a Point of Entry with Canadian Border Services Agency and a certified Cruise Ship Operations destination, allowing you to have the flexibility of stopping at a small port as your first point in Canada.
