The Boston-Halifax overnight cruise ferry project team has become more active in 2010. The group
is considering several specific cruise ferries. We remain open to finding the right arrangement and
the right partners. These range from chartering a ship with bridge and engine room crews to
purchasing the ferry in a joint venture partnership with the ship owner. There are many possibilities.
It is critical to the long term success of the venture that the team invest time now in getting the right
vessel on the right financial terms.
2011 is the earliest practical date for the service to start, so we regrettably cannot book travel yet!

The overnight ferry will depart each port in the afternoon and arrive in the morning at the other,
with layover in either port during the day. This will give the traveler a sense of a "floating motel"
in which much of the trip can be done while sleeping. Existing travel services often require hotel
links on either or both ends, consuming extra travel time and additional cost. Should you want to
bring your own car, ship layover will also allow vehicles to drive onto the waiting ship, instead of
queuing up in assembly parking areas. Leaving the ship will also be less frantic due to on-board
clearances and convenient parking layout.
The initial service will make 3 round trips per week from each port. The ship will be passenger
friendly and include a variety of food services, conference centers, stores, customs and
immigration clearing, controlled gambling and shopping. The amenities will be aimed at traveler
ease, convenience and transportation service.
